Runes are consumables that can be used to drastically change an item during the crafting process.
Mechanics[]
Runes are a crafting item that can be used in the support item slot on the crafting panel. They can greatly change the affixes on an item, or they can even completely destroy it.
Like Glyphs, they can either drop from random enemies and containers, or they are awarded from certain echoes in the Monolith of Fate. Repeatable content - like the Arena and dungeons - also offer them at certain milestones.
Most Runes also require Forging Potential to use.
