• Rune Slates are farmed from a Mysterious Seed or acquired as a byproduct of Smithing at the Volcanic Forge while wearing equipment with the Refining enchantment.

• Additionally, both a Geode and Greater Geode may drop Rune Slates. Players using the NGIM (No Gather Iron Man) mode may find it particularly useful to equip Phroglin Pheromones while fighting in the aforementioned zones to further boost the amount of Rune Slates acquired.
