Glacial Rune FAQs

Can socketed Runes be upgraded or reused?

No. Socketed Runes are destroyed when replaced. Only unsocketed Runes can be upgraded via the Reforging Bench.

What changed in Rune mechanics with Patch 0.2.0?

Patch 0.2.0 added Rune replacement: socketed Runes and Soul Cores can now be overwritten by inserting a new one into the same slot.

Is Glacial Rune considered a Soul Core?

No. It is a Rune, not a Soul Core. Soul Cores are a separate item class with distinct effects and drop sources.

Why were Lesser, Glacial, and Greater Runes added in Patch 0.2.0?

To expand Rune flexibility—Lesser Runes offer early-game bonuses, Glacial Runes support mid-level builds, and Greater Runes provide stronger effects for advanced builds.
