Evolution Runes

Evolution Runes are used to hone the Armor, Weapons, Shields and Accessories.

Starting from Uncommon Runes up to Mythic Runes. 

Runes can be found in Chests or have a chance of being rewarded from Salvaging Chests too. Also as you progress the story you will come along a Follower that with craft a random Rune for you.

If you are honing an item and find you are missing the relevant Rune, you can also bring up a Material Finder screen.

To do this you select the item you are honing, then click the missing Rune or any item you are looking for. 

This will explain what items this Rune is used on and where you have a chance of finding it.

Using Runes

After an item has been evolved to Rare after level 15, you will need to use the Rune that matches the items Element; Ice, Poison, Fire, Light and Dark. For more information on Upgrading Gear, click here.

For example: Currently, my Guard's Pauldron is Level 45, Legendary and has Fire Magic. Displayed below the damage as well as indicated in the top left with a Blue Element icon.

To evolve this Runic Mace to Mythic, I now need the Mythic Fire Rune.
