Runic Hammer

Description

Runic hammers are rewards for turning in certain Bulk Order Deeds (BODs) to NPC blacksmiths. There are eight (8) different types of runic hammers based upon ingot colors (note there is not an iron runic hammer). New hammers will be given a standard number of charges:

• Dull Copper - 45 charges
• Shadow Iron - 40 charges
• Copper - 35 charges
• Bronze - 30 charges
• Gold - 25 charges
• Agapite - 20 charges
• Verite - 15 charges
• Valorite - 10 charges

How They Work

Runic hammers can be used to craft exceptional magical weapons. Each of these will have additional modifiers based on the type of runic hammer. The more rare the color of the runic hammer, the better modifiers it grants to weapons and armor. You must use the correct ingot type for each hammer or the properties will not be applied. Bronze runic hammer needs to use bronze ingots for example. Below are a list of the modifiers received per runic hammer:

Weapon Properties

Hammer Color	Durability Modifier	Damage Modifier	Accuracy Modifier
Dull Copper	Durable	None	Accurate
Shadow Iron	Durable	Ruin	Accurate
Copper	Fortified	Ruin	Surpassingly Accurate
Bronze	Fortified	Might	Surpassingly Accurate
Gold	Indestructable	Force	Eminently Accurate
Agapite	Indestructable	Power	Eminently Accurate
Verite	Indestructable	Power	Exceedingly Accurate
Valorite	Indestructable	Vanquishing	Supremely Accurate

Advantages

The biggest advantage of runic weapons are that since they are crafted by blacksmiths, they can have the exceptional modifier on top of the properties provided by the runic hammer. This means that runic weapons are much more powerful than a magical weapon with the same durability, damage, and accuracy modifiers.

Examples

• Vanquishing War hammer
  • +9 damage modifier (vanquishing) = +9 damage modifier total
• Valorite Runic War hammer
  • +9 damage modifier (vanquishing) + 4 damage modifier (exceptional) = +13 damage modifier total
