Rune Ideas

[AOTL]

well covered kelrist. didn't see anything (unique) in there, but i think you covered the basics

[Faithfulservant]

Don't forget to post on underpowered/overpowered....its lacking right now :S

My question is this...

How will runes be priced and controlled...

1. Entire clan pays one price in RP and everyone benefits all the time?

2. Rune is selectable by each person as on or off and price changes per person using the ability?

3. small clans pay same price as large clans?

4. Low levels pay same price as high levels?

5. all runes combat related or some skill related?

These were just a few questions i have about Runes... We will definately find out on July 10th but it may give you to think about when you are posting your ideas.

[Relic]

Thank you Jeff for giving an advanced warning of upcoming runes, Much appreciated. I will now attempt to scratch the surface of how they could work.

The Concept
There will be 6 different types of runes, one of each type, for each rune slot. Allowing anymore than 1 of each type could cause some overpowering effects.
They will be bought with Runepower, Territory & Dominance. Some costing only Runepower, some costing all 3. There will be a new rank of runes every 20 Archeoruneology levels.

The master, or officer of the clan purchasing them will have to decide which player/s they want to buy which runes for. Example : The master of clan Chaos, has a member that's lacking in some skills, so he would then buy this member an EXP enhancing rune, to aid him. Example 2 : Leader of clan Chaos has declared war on clan xXxXX, and needs the fighting members to have some increased damage and defense runes- for the upcoming war, and would then buy damage/def runes for each fighting member. All runes will only be activated by soldier or higher in rank only.

UPKEEP-
Some of the more powerfull runes will require upkeep.
Upkeep is an hourly cost in Runepower (per hour of RRT spent, not actual hour)
Although, your runepower will only be drained while the Runes are equiped, or you are currently expending RRT. Keep in mind that unequiping a rune, instantly takes 1hour worth of Upkeep. Thus preventing one from equiping each rune for only 59 minutes or less to avoid Upkeep costs.

Some example of Runes -


Rune of Knowledge
This rune type is specifically desighned for gaining faster EXP.
and would have the exact same effect of buying a Virtue.

Rank 1 Rune of Knowledge-Cost:1,000 Runepower - Upkeep:10per hour of RRT, Effect: Player with this rune equiped gains +2% to all exp gains, and passive exp gains. Prereq: Archeoruneology level 10
--V-------------------------------V------------------------V---------------------------V
Rank 10 Rune of Knowledge-Cost:100,000 Runepower - Upkeep:100per hour of RRT, Effect: The player with this rune equiped gains +20% to all exp gains, and passive exp gains. Prereq: Archeoruneology level 100



Rune of Morale

Rank 1 Rune of Morale-Cost:2,000 Runepower - Upkeep:20per hour of RRT, Effect: Player with this rune equiped gains +2% to MIN and MAX melee, ranged, and Magical damage. Prereq: Archeoruneology level 10
V-----------------V--------------------------V--------------------------V
Rank 10 Rune of Morale-Cost:200,000 Runepower - Upkeep:200per hour of RRT, Effect: Player with this rune equiped gains +20% to MIN and MAX Melee, Ranged, and Magical damage. Prereq: Archeoruneology level 100



Rune of Invigoration

Rank 1 Rune of Invigoration-Cost 500 Runepower - Upkeep 5 per hour of RRT spent. Effect: Player using this runes gains +10% Out of combat HP/MANA/ENERGY Regeneration rate, and a +2% In combat regeneration rate. Prereq: Archeoruneology 10
V------------------------V----------------------V------------------------V10-100
Rank 10 Rune of Invigoration-Cost 5000 Runepower - Upkeep 50 per hour of RRT spent. Effect: Player using this runes gains +100% Out of combat HP/MANA/ENERGY Regeneration rate, and a +20% In combat regeneration rate. Prereq: Archeoruneology 100


Keep in mind i have only created concepts, nothing is solid, and nothing is perfect. Im sure there are some flaws in this, i can see a few reading over it myself.

Thanks for reading, enjoy.
appreciate all comments.

all the stuff stated before are kind of just the same stuff we've seen in game.
How about

Elemental Runes

Fire Wind Earth Water (not captain planet here so no heart ppls)

By purchasing the rune and selecting it as one of the clan runes, all members of that clan receive additional protection in the form of elemental defense or offense. just an idea.

play with it if u want

As well to add to the suggestions/questions I already made on the first page -

I think that not many will like this, but-

1) To make runes decay, or limited in time. As runepower and other things in Nodi (such as accounts).

This way it will be prevented by large clans with millions of power getting all the runes quick and get nothing to do with the rest of rune power.

Say, we have runes, for 1 day, 7 days, 30 days and such with the EXP needed increase drammatically.

2) Also can we have runes as individual, clan based and GROUP BASED ? sort of AURA runes ? that could be exploited buy some sort of course - but only will tend to make people search for groups of more variety of auras and runes.

3) Also in order to prevent too powerful chars , maybe there could be some sort of randomised effect, when getting a rune ? maybe it could be a range of RUNES LINES - Colours or names of runes ? and you could draw any low lvl rune but not exactly the one you wanted all the time.

4) Also the big question remains - will RUNES add to only PVP damage or also to PVE, because if PVE will be affected ones again - the game will just get too easy.. Monsters are already toooo easy....

5)Also as Relic mentioned I guess would be good idea to limit only 1 type of runes used on any specific player to avoid disbalance with someone taking 6 runes of power ( suppose we can call it that) and have +600% or whatever bonus.

6) Also that is such a great list Kelrist. But dont forget the crafting/artistry/resourcrefulness bonuses lol: rolleyes:

also I wouldnt mind taking part in clan quests to obtain runes. not just blatant buying of them

[zenga]

I personally see no use for runes. As said before, I have no experience with this type of games where runes are used. But my understanding of the concept is that from a pool of generated RP certain buffs can be ordered.

Now i really don't see why there should be anymore buffs, be it temporary or permanent. One way everything is done to re-balance the game as much as possible, and on the other hand there will be buffs. That's beyond my understanding

I personally don't see an added value for any of the afore mentioned ideas. But open minded and will see what happens.

So, you want the clans who have worked so much harder, to have no advantage over the clans who havent done much of anything, sorry but that dont make sense. We EARNED all our Runepower, and SHOULD have an advantage.

Maybe a trophy exp boost rune

[Faithfulservant]

Fire Wind Earth Water (not captain planet here so no heart ppls)

Haha made me laugh

Well perhaps there will some runes that are permanent,less powerful,and some extremely short,but ultra powerful runes.

[Destruction]

You can have ultra powerful runes Relic, but who says they have to be perm? You can't have both perm. runes AND powerful ones-that spells out recipe for overpoweredness.

Either short and powerful, or long and moderate sounds reasonable.

[Destruction]

Faith died, that's who! lol zach

[zachofblades]

yes, but he's been dead for centuries now dest...and you still didnt answer my first question

and i just looked at first post which i missed the last part of it...

runes are coming out the day i get back from vacation yay <3

[Glitchless]

Good post Kelrist. Lists with short descriptions of bonuses are best.

[Sapreaver]

I think that there should be a couple runes like those in Oblivion that grant you a dumbed down ability of another class like

Rune of the Warrior Rank 1 to 3
gives 2.5% 5% 7.5% max damage

Rune of the Angel Rank 1 to 3
gives 2.5% 5% 7.5% all white magic effects and allows resurrection gems at level 50

Rune of the Vampire
Gives 2.5% 5% 7.5% damage leech from all range pet and melee damage

Ect
only one could be equiped

Will post more in future.

Well faith, you stole some of my thunder.

Since Archeorunology is in the adventuring tree it should have something to do with adventuring. Since it seems there will be a lot of traveling and area covered/dominated, would make sense to have some runes as faith said best ( I will not attempt to say any better )

Quoted from Faithfulservent :
"Runes of the Explorer

Nuisance avoidance - high % avoiding greys only
Midway steps - medium % avoidance all but red and higher
Cautious pathway - low % avoidance to red and violet
Death neglection stairs - low % avoidance to violets and blacks

...can be matched with as well as:

Keeper avoidance - medium chance to avoid grey bosses
Greater Keeper avoid. - low chance to avoid red and under bosses
Superior Gaurd - very low chance to avoid all bosses regardless of color"

I am not sure if this is what you were getting at..but i would add..

Rune of Annoyance: this rune would increase the chance of enemies to encounter greys and mobs alike.
Since the ability to use more powerful runes will be based on the Traveling and gaining of adventuring skills....This will slow down the process of opposing clans ability to "rank up" in Archeorunology.


Also, I did not see this mentioned:

Rune of Death: Increases the decay of trophies/RT/RRT upon death towards opposing clans
Rune of Protection: Decreases the Decay of Trophies/RT/RRT upon death.

( I know Trophies dont normally decay on death..just an added though )

Lastly,

Rune of D.O.T. : This increases ( Or decreases ) D.o.T. Damage. Adding this rune will add/decrease Damage over Time effects while pvp/pveing.

and

Rune of Aura: Works much like a paladin in a Gem...This gem would increase the effects ( again or could decrease effects ) of the Auras in play.


All runes are based on the theory that you can use to assist your clan or damage the opposing clans.

Thanks for Reading.
