How to Upgrade Runes in Rohan Online (Safe Guide)
Upgrading your Party Rune makes the group buff stronger for everyone in your party. The process uses Rune Upgrade Stones and is relatively safe. Failed upgrades do not Destroy your Rune.
This guide explains the upgrade mechanic and what to expect.
What You Need to Upgrade
You need a Rune Upgrade Stone for each upgrade attempt. The stone is tradeable and can be farmed or purchased from other players.
See the Rune Upgrade Stone Sources guide for where to farm them.
How the Upgrade Works
Use a Rune Upgrade Stone on your Rune to attempt a level increase.
- Success: Your Rune level goes up by one
- Fail: Nothing changes — your Rune stays at its current level
Your Rune is never destroyed on a failed attempt. You only lose the Rune Upgrade Stone that was used.
Upgrade Rate Information
The exact upgrade success rate is not published. Experienced players and community resources may have estimates, but no official numbers are confirmed. Expect some variance in how many stones it takes to reach the next level.
Event Boosts Do Not Help
Event boosts and rate-up events do not apply to Rune reinforcement. The upgrade rate is fixed regardless of any active server events.
What Higher Levels Do
Each successful upgrade raises the Rune level by one. Higher Rune levels provide a stronger party buff. The Movement Speed Rune is capped at +25% regardless of level.
Farming Stones Before Upgrading
Stock up on Rune Upgrade Stones before you start upgrading. Having a surplus means you can push through several levels without needing to farm again mid-session.
Abyss Bosses are the best source. Abyss Guards (Gale's Guardian, Roha's Guardian, Marea's Guardian) also drop them at a lower rate.
Quick Tips
- Failed upgrades never destroy your Rune
- Each attempt costs one Rune Upgrade Stone
