Runic Dust

The Affix Warding UI

Runic Dust is a resource used in Affix Warding, part of the Runecrafting skill.

Each tier of Runic Dust can apply powerful Affixes to its corresponding equipment tier. For example, Basic Runic Dust can only apply Affixes to Common items, such as Bronze Pickaxe or Iron Chainmail, while Singular Runic Dust can only apply Affixes to Rare items, such as Elder Longbow or Runite Hatchet. For more information, see the Affixes page.
