Runes power up your weapons, armor, and pickaxes in The Forge, offering effects from explosions to lifesteal. You obtain them exclusively by defeating enemies in later areas, with drop rates improved by luck stats and targeted farming.

Key farming locations

Head to the Forgotten Kingdom's Volcanic Depths after reaching level 10—it's the hotspot packed with bombers, deathaxe skeletons, elite variants, reapers, and blazing slimes for top-tier drops like Blast Chip and Drain Edge.

How to farm runes step by step

Master this loop in Volcanic Depths for the fastest rune collection; repeat for all types by targeting spawns.

Step 1

Enter Forgotten Kingdom (level 10+ required) and navigate straight to Volcanic Depths via the main path, turning left down the slope then right.​

Step 2

Clear basic mobs like ax skeletons and rogue skeletons to trigger elite spawns—bombers (Blast Chip/Miner Shard, 1/10-1/15 chance) appear randomly.​

Step 3

Target deathaxe skeletons (Flame Spark/Briar Notch) and elites; parry their attacks for safe kills and higher drop odds.​

Step 4

Hunt reapers (Drain Edge, 1/12 chance) and blazing slimes (Flame Spark)—use dash and quick combos; equip luck runes on pickaxe for better rates.​

Step 5

Respawns happen fast, so loop the area; sell junk runes at vendors and socket keepers at the Runemaker.

Rune tier priorities

Stick to the best runes first - Blast Chip excels on katanas for AoE, Drain Edge on all weapons for sustain, and Miner Shard on pickaxes for grinding. Lower rune tiers like Rot Stitch offer niche effects but lag in versatility.

Farm smarter with races or gear boosting luck, parry religiously, and detach/sell unwanted runes at the Runemaker to fund upgrades. This setup gets you a full powerful collection quickest.
