Shadow of Mordor, rune farming
So I figured I wanted a bunch of level 25 runes.
...
More tricky than it sounds.
The fastest way to make level 20 warchiefs, that still have a fear or hatred, is to send a death threat.
(Which also adds a +1 modifier on the rune, in addition to +2 for warchief, +1 for capitalising on fear/hate, and +1 for knowing strengths/weaknesses. The alternative is vengeance, which requires getting killed by that particular orc)
The gang is +5 power, but at the cost of 40% greater chance of epic runes.
Yes, I think it's a penalty. 'cos with a few exceptions, level 25 runes are usually better than epic runes.
No problem, I thought.
I'll just get all the epic runes, then they'll just have to roll standard runes, right?
Maybe.
I have 15 epic sword runes now, and there's probably more.
Only have 2 bow and dagger epic runes, so if I want runes for those too, it'll be a long slog.
Damnit, I guess if I'm into collecting everything, this is the way to go.
