Rare/Mythical runestones as rewards

[FDru]

Do these replace common runestones as drops (thereby reducing the overall amount of runestone dust gained)?

No, when you add them in, they start dropping as well from encounters. The upgrades are worth the investment, and they are very distinct from the other tiers. They also combine for more runestone dust than the common runes.

Oh, I didn't know that. Do you know the conversion rate?

So you still have a chance to get common runestones?

Nope... you will get them altogether when the battle ends.... mythical is hard to drop though

I should have been more clear but Hunter here is right. You get them along side the common ones, so having the maxed drop chance, Rare and Mythic rune upgrades will let you maximize your rune-dust production. I find adding them to the store helps in the long term too.

I'd rather spend my money trying to maximize rune-dust than the scientist item upgrades until later on (they're useful but I don't consider them essential, more like RNG protection whereas the Runes can dictate playstyle on some classes, IMO).
