PoE2 Rune Report - Dawn of the Hunt - April 17
Time: 2025-04-17 by mmojugg Game: Path of Exile 2 Guide Tags: PoE2 Market Report
Welcome, Exiles! This is the first Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) Rune Report for the Dawn of the Hunt League, dated April 17, 2025, the 13th day since the league's launch. Runes in PoE2 are essential crafting materials for enhancing gear and abilities, and their market prices reflect player demand and build priorities. This season introduces new rune tiers—Lesser and Greater Runes—along with three new attribute-specific runes (Robust, Adept, and Resolve) tied to Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence, respectively. Since this is the first rune report of the season, we'll compare with last season's data from December 17, 2024 (Standard League), captured just before the economic collapse triggered by patch 0.1.0e on December 19. Let's dive into the rune market!
Note: All data is sourced from the official PoE2 trade market. New runes introduced this season (Lesser/Greater Runes and attribute-specific runes) have no last season data and are excluded from comparisons where applicable.

PoE2 Rune Market Observations & Trends
Attribute-Specific Runes: Robust, Adept, Resolve
Robust Rune (Strength) at 1 Ex shows moderate demand, likely tied to Strength-based Smith Warrior builds.
Adept Rune (Dexterity) at 0.10 Ex indicates steady interest, possibly for Dexterity-focused characters like new introduced Huntress.
Resolve Rune (Intelligence) at 0.04 Ex is the cheapest, suggesting lower demand for Intelligence modifiers in the current meta.
Greater Runes: Wide Price Range
Greater Rune of Alacrity stands out at 22 Ex, reflecting high demand, likely for speed-focused builds.
Greater Rune of Tithing (8 Ex) and Greater Iron Rune (4.4 Ex) also command premium prices, indicating their utility in meta builds.
Greater Rune of Nobility (0.8 Ex) and others like Greater Stone Rune (0.125 Ex) are more affordable, suggesting niche or lower-priority uses.
Standard Runes: Significant Price Shifts
Iron Rune: Surged from 0.200 Ex last season to 1.60 Ex this season, an 8-fold increase, likely due to its importance in meta builds or reduced drop rates.
Vision Rune: More than doubled from 0.083 Ex to 0.20 Ex, reflecting growing demand for vision-related modifiers.
Desert Rune, Body Rune, Rebirth Rune, and Inspiration Rune: Saw modest increases (e.g., Desert Rune from 0.100 Ex to 0.18 Ex), indicating steady demand.
Glacial Rune and Stone Rune: Dropped slightly from 0.100 Ex to 0.07 Ex, suggesting lower demand or increased supply.
Mind Rune: Edged down from 0.083 Ex to 0.08 Ex, a minimal change indicating stable but low interest.
Lesser Runes: Affordable Crafting Options
Lesser Runes, such as Lesser Iron Rune (0.43 Ex) and Lesser Robust Rune (0.5 Ex), are generally priced below 0.10 Ex, making them accessible for early-game crafting.
Lesser Mind Rune and Lesser Stone Rune (both 0.02 Ex) are among the cheapest, likely due to low demand or high availability.
Last Season's Context: Pre-Collapse Stability
Last season's data from December 17, before the 0.1.0e patch collapse, shows a relatively stable rune market with prices mostly between 0.083 Ex and 0.200 Ex. This season's economic adjustments by GGG have introduced greater price variation, with high-demand runes like Iron Rune seeing significant increases, while others remain affordable, reflecting a more dynamic market.
Looking Ahead
As the Dawn of the Hunt League progresses, rune prices will likely shift based on evolving build metas and drop rates. High-value runes like Greater Rune of Alacrity and Iron Rune may see further increases if their utility remains central to popular builds. Lesser Runes, being affordable, could become staple crafting materials for early-game players, while attribute-specific runes (Robust, Adept, Resolve) may fluctuate based on meta shifts. Compared to last season's pre-collapse stability, this season's rune market shows more diversity, indicating a dynamic and evolving economy.
