Runesocketing question - dealing with changing swords
47 Posts	Link to post - Posted November 30th 2014 at 4:24 PM BBHuey4213 Just curious: if I have a runesocketed sword with, say, 2 days left on it and decide to change swords for a few days, does the 'timer' freeze on the socketed sword until I switch back to that sword or does it keep going while the sword is in the inventory?

The Devs thought of every way someone could try to exploit them. p.s. why don't you check for yourself?

Was asking not because I was looking for a way to 'exploit' anything but because I simply wanted to know; I ocassionally change swords without taking the runes into consideration and figured seeking out an answer before I inadvertently wasted a rune might be prudent.

Sorry if Raymond seemed like he was being rude. Testing it just to find out would be bad in this case and I understand about wanting to change decoration sometimes with the swords.

One simply records the current time and the current time left on the 3 runes in the current sword, then swap with any other sword for say 5 minutes or an hour or whatever, then resockets the regular sword and look at the time left on its runes. simple. eunes do not 'get lost' or anything like that, other then when they run out of time. so checking is perfectly safe. I'll add here that the Developers also thought of that and to have runes get lost simply for changing swords would be a bad thing.

My online time is usually kinda limited plus I admittedly am not intimately familiar with all the intricacies of the game, and finally decided to start spending time checking out the forum and occassionally even seek out answers to some of my questions. Most of the time it's a positive experience and folks offer helpful answers and advice - which is what I presumed the forum was for - but the doses of snark that sometimes pop up are definitely off-putting...
