They buffed Trials more than I realized - the bonus loot tables have 2 runes each instead of 1. Here's an updated chart if anyone's curious: imgur.com/a/W9Favz5 Result of this: -T2 rewards are kinda meh compared to T1 but either one is still fine early on -T5 has more advantage over T4 once you're 40+. You can still farm T4 if the group is struggling, just be aware that instead of "four T4s vs three T5s" it's more like "five T4s vs three T5s"

Your Throne videos are the best dude! I’m a pretty casual player who just enjoys playing a lot because I enjoy the game. I’ve picked up on a lot of things in the game myself (more so than in other MMO’s, which is one thing I think TL does way better than other MMOs, being user friendly) but that last 10% of knowledge I need to completely understand a system I come to you for - keep it up! With your Lucent guide I’ve made 1300 lucent in my first week of using the auction house and selling extracts and lithographs. Thank you for these!
Amazing video, I've been collecting runes and I have not really looked into it. I was kind of scared of screwing up but with this video guide, I can safely rune my items without really worrying. Great video as always!
I feel like im starting to get the hang of throne but everything is so so complicated i understand most of what you said but as a new player who hasnt explored some of the content you mentioned it gives me a headache 😂 im sure this video will be very helpful once i start using all the runes ive been getting
Just to mention, 3:45 if you're running the Vital Force passive from Greatsword you will also gain a fraction of defense and skill damage from the +Health, despite losing 0.6% "Tankiness". So depending if you're full PVE or taking this in a frontline tank Wand SNS direction or just casual pvp on SNS Greatsword, you just pick your poison.
Hey Morrolan, best guide on this topic as always. However I noticed when you were talking about recovery crystal runes, you said it didnt work and you couldnt notice a difference when using potions. I believe that is because it is actually referring to the recovery crystal itself, meaning the pvp cc cleanse crystal restoring hp that we were able to upgrade with the bigger patch in the beginning of december. It's kinda weird since that would be a rune that specifically influences only one of many item options. Let me know what you think or if it proves to be right. Until then, happy holidays :)
Those are normally referred to as "Purification Stones" by the game, and these runes already existed in KR before those stones could be upgraded, so I think they do intend for these to work on Recovery Crystals, and either the buff itself is bugged, or the number that shows up for the heal is bugged
@@MorrolanTVThat's a good point. If Korea had this runetype before the release of the upgraded purification stone, you are surely right. Anyhow, I appreciate the answer.
Hi! I really enjoy your videos! Especially this one, but i have a couple of questions i hope you can answer: 1. ¿How can i know the level of each of my runes? 2. ¿How does the game know wich runes to level up if i dissolve/transmute them? And my rune inventory is empty and the only ones i have are the ones that are currently equipped
Please someone explain why do I have to farm common runes to lvl 20 then uncommon to 40 and then rare to 60 and not start from the go farming rares only ? My brain cannot understand this mech makes zero sense To me
You aren't leveling grays and greens - you're leveling stats. For example, gray max health doesn't level separately from green max health. It's just max health that levels up
I have simply played the game and done the weekly quests and I have opened everything and my runes are all an average of level 30 now. I dont miss any bosses, did the guild weekly bosses etc. Now with the dungeons dropping them its much easier. My advice is to just open them up. Dont stress over it. Every week you will get 150 for the weekly.
Most of the attack runes only have 1 good option for PvP. The only slot where you would decide on hit vs skill dmg boost is weapon, and I would definitely go with skill damage boost
I'm confused by 12:00, if I already have rare runes in my slots why should I care about commons / uncommons at all? Does it matter what level they are? Do they dissolve more materials or something? I assume the rare synergies are far more valuable than the common stats. Is that just for players who are leveling still?
@bobbyhalick yes that section of the video is all about leveling from 1 to 60. I'm saying once you level to 20 you can't level from gray drops anymore, so you need to look only for greens and blues. Then at 40 it's blues only to keep leveling to 60
Easiest to hardest. Voidwastes, carmine rage, island of terror, chamber, valley of slaughter. Island would be easier than carmine if not for boss dsync. Valley is by far harder than anything else.
Should we go for general Heavy Attack Evasion? Or do you recommend Melee Heavy Attack Evasion because if GS one shots? It does feel safer to go with Max Hp. Only downside is Max Hp restrictions in Dynamic Events. 8:03
sorry I couldn't ask this question on your stream, but i wanted to ask why you were traiting a trash purple with other purples instead of feeding it blues to stack blessings? if you fully trait that purple it won't have enough blessings to transfer your +9 purple into right? Don't you need 4160 blessings on the trash purple before transferring the +9 purple into to transfer to t2?
If you're talking about the belt, there's no excess of blue belts to feed for blessing. Belt drops are too rare, so I'd have to buy them, which isn't worth it. Purple belts on the other hand are fairly common as a result from dungeons or material transmutation. I can always transfer into a second or third junk purple if one doesn't get me the blessing I need.
@@MorrolanTV the rarity makes sense, but the problem is if you transfer it to another purple, then you can't transfer your equipped belt into that one since it's already been transferred into, unless it's worth it to just take the loss on the equipped belt?
@@Tom67Slick For the purposes of T2, I would transfer my gear into the junk item, and then transfer that junk item into another junk item if needed, and then transfer it into the target T2 piece. I'm also maintaining multiple builds so depending on how far away T2 is I might just use this blessing for another build next week
People completely assume people know stuff that new players don't know. I want to put runes in my weapon and I don't even know if u can remove runes if put them in .. is it better to wait or put something in for now
Thanks for your videos Marrolan! The only thing i dont quite understand is that, whats the point of doing trials that doesnt give blue runes ? I mean, are gray and green runes worth at all since blues are supposed to be better? Or we can upgrade a Max lvl gray/green rune into the next tier (like from green transforming into blue rune) ?
You aren't grinding the gray/green runes to use or keep them really, you're just doing it in order to level up your runes in general. Low tier trials are faster & easier - if you can do the T4s/T5s just as fast then you can farm them right away, but most groups will slow down at that tier, so you farm the T1-T3s as long as you can
Question! Once you start getting level 20 gray runes, I heard the convert into green? I’m pretty sure that’s wrong but could you maybe guess what the person, who said that, means?
This is so confusing. The more runes i collect with the same stat, the more that stat levels up? Does the rune need to be equipped onto the gear or just in my inventory?
Ok so if i have a specific rune type at level 40 and then delete all of my runes, will that rune type stay at lvl 40 for the next time i pick up a rune of that type? or will it start back over at 1?
When you have a pvp and a pve set with gear. But Both sets use the same weapons. Is in somehow possible to use for your pvp set (the weapons) other runes then for your pve set?
If I have a blue grade rune, that’s equipped, and at a low LV, say lv5, would it get leveled up with the same grey or green runes? Or it can only be leveled when a blue one dropped?
@thefishingfinatic the runes themselves don't level. The stats (like max health) level, for gray/green/blue simultaneously. Common runes will keep dropping at 20 and never go higher, greens will drop up to 40 and blues up to 60
Yea, I know they stat lvls...I wrote that comment wrong. So, In other words, the stat keeps lvling to 20/ 40/ 60? So then is there any point and messing with gray or green runes if you get the desired stat in blues? Thank you! @@MorrolanTV
@@thefishingfinatic You don't need to equip the grays or greens. You just want to loot as many as possible while you're leveling up. You can dissolve them right away if you already have blue synergy in place. And then once your runes are all 20+ you won't really care about looting grays at all anymore since they won't advance you, but you can still dissolve or transmute them. Same logic with greens at 40
Can I skip the gray and green level till lv40, and wait for a blue drop and level it up to 60 from 1? What if I have a gray lv18 rune and I have a dropped lv7 green? Is the green totally useless because it hasn't been upgraded from gray? Or the green lv7 originally count as lv27, just the game doesn't show like that? I don't understand.. please help someone
Sadly game didn't do good and players just olay the first months and abandoned the game. Way to confusing and so much grind for zero rewards :(. Game can be fun but needs Polish. Example game doesnt let you explore different builds or even armor. If you want to change and level up orher pieces well will take you years. No fun. One of the cool things of gw2 encourage exploration of builds and armor...

common and uncommon runes are easier to obtain, and blue runes, unless i am mistaken, do not actually increase the level until 40
@ wym that they don’t level until 40 ?
I’m confused. Why level gray and green runes if we ultimately need the blue rune?
You aren't leveling grays and greens - you're leveling stats. For example, gray max health doesn't level separately from green max health. It's just max health that levels up
