Getting one
A Rune is built at the forge from a Rune blueprint. A dropped blueprint has 5 uses.
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Veskar | 99 |
| Pirite | 94 |
| Helspar | 98 |
| Solstine | 12 |
| Dark Triton | 32 |
Quantities are for a Normal blueprint. Building a hull covers the forge, research and what rarer blueprints cost.
Where the blueprint comes from
- NPC wrecks and loot containers can drop the blueprint.
- Boss wrecks can drop it.
- It can appear in the TZHAL quartermaster's stock from the rank of Recruit. A quartermaster blueprint is faction issue: it cannot be researched and the Rune it builds is always Faction quality.
