Runes

Runes were material for crafting equipment, often coveted by players due to their relatively low drop-rate as loot from various monsters, and due to the amounts needed for certain higher-level crafting recipes. Well, thanks to Crafting Quests, players no longer need to farm runes to level their crafting skills. However, that hasn't changed the fact that the player would still need runes to craft items. The following is a list of all the runes.

Runes as monster drops were removed when TERA stopped making loot drops from open world monsters. When alchemy was gutted in 2016 some basic runes were added to merchants and you had to again process those to get more advanced runes for crafting. Main use for runes was leveling up Weaponcrafting and Armorcrafting since there was no need to craft weapons or armor.

Runes
Note that the crafting skill Alchemy can teach players the ability to convert common runes to the corresponding level's uncommon form. However, there are no level 15 uncommon runes; conversion will result in having level 25 uncommon runes instead.
