Runes are ancient symbols of power which bestow mysterious blessings to their bearers.
In Lineage II, there are several different types of runes. Some runes increase the amount of experience (XP) a character earns, allowing that character to level up faster. Other runes increase the amount of skill points (SP) a character earns, allowing that character to allocate more points to advancing their combat skills. The most powerful runes provide multiple benefits.
Runes are simple, but incredibly powerful. To gain the blessing of a rune, a character needs only to store the rune in their inventory.
Many runes are time limited, and will expire after being stored in a character’s inventory for a set amount of time. Most time limited runes continue to tick down to their expiration even while the character is offline.
Purchasing runes from the L2 store is a cinch! To access the store, click on the L2 Store Icon in the Lineage II client. From the L2 Store, navigate to the XP Boost tab to find available runes.
