The Ultimate Rune Guide:Rise of Kingdoms

Runes are another set of items in "Rise of Kingdoms"(reddit rise of kingdoms）, you can get them by sending a commander to pick them up. Runes are used to give you a temporary buff. Only one rune can be activated at a time. These runes can help you speed up the collection speed, speed up the recovery speed of action points and conduct research/upgrade faster.

But in this guide, we will share information about runes in detail. There is not one type of rune, but there are actually 5 levels, depending on the level of the enemies guarding the altar, sanctuary, and temple in each area where the kingdom rises. Therefore, ideally, you always want the highest rune level to maximize the gain.

What Are Runes in Rise of Kingdoms?

Runes is basically a glowing stone that rotates after defeating the guardians around the holy sties. There is four tiers of runes: white (3%), green (7%), blue (10%), purple (15%), and orange (20%) that corresponds directly to the level of guardians.

Rune Tiers:

§  White (upwards to 3% Buff)

Each runes comes with various modifier that gives you a temporary buff like increasing your gathering rate, faster marching speed, doing more damage and such. If you are serious about making progress like Lohar’s Trial and Karuak Ceremony, it’s a smart idea to have a few runes in your items tab.

In the beginning of game, you won’t be able to get the highest tiered runes right away since they are gated further to the center. Thus, you will start with white runes first and then green runes and finally orange runes as your kingdom advances within each objective completed via Monument.

How to Get Runes in Rise of Kingdoms

To get runes in Rise of Kingdoms, you will have to defeat the guardians that is guarding the holy sties. I recommend rallying with your armies to get support and to kill these guardians quickly if you are starting off. However later in the game when you have Tier 4 Troops / Tier 5 Troops they becomes quite easy to kill.

Guardians will always drop white runes, a small chance of green runes and even smaller chance for blue and purple runes with the orange runes being the most rarest. The chances of dropping better rune rarity depends on the quality of guardians you are battling against.

Guardians at the Lost Temple, which is located in the middle of the Kingdom has far much better chance of dropping purple / orange runes. This is also where major power alliances are located at, vying for control to gain access to the Lost Kingdoms.

Also a cool trick to reduce your action points is do the chain-farm barbarians method. You will need commanders who has AoE skill like Aethelflaed or Baibars and group up the barbarians together to kill them all in the same time using the active skill.

Conclusion of Runes in Rise of Kingdoms

One friendly game tip for all of these players out there in Rise of Kingdoms. If you are currently controlling the Lost Temple. You can maximize your chance of getting the legendary runes by doing a couple of hours in advance before the reset.

This means killing the guardians at least 2 hours before 00:00:00 UTC. This will give your alliance members and you some time to scoop up the runes you want. By then the guardians will respawn and will be ready to drop runes on the next kill within the short timeframe.

If you have runes in your inventory, you can use it to increase your troops combat effectiveness for Expedition Mode and Ian’s Ballads for instance. Which is incredible useful if you are currently on progress and need extra boost to push.

If you want to offset some of the incoming damage, you can do so with Alexander the Great or Richard I for instance. But ideally, the peacekeeping commanders will make quick work out of them.
