they should make the greater rune effects permanent or rune arcs unlimited to buy, because the bonuses are not even that op, godrick's one is like +5 to all attributes which is a minor buff

In all the Souls Franchise, these are Powerful Buffs, Stats/Attributes is VERY IMPORTANT and they will not put them as Permanent and Unlimited.

Bruh you can farm them like candy. Just grab 2 friends and 3-man steamroll invaders.

Bruh,
Being forced to play co-op is not a good point.
Great Runes are entirely useless.

I'm saying they're not rare. You're not forced to play online to get them.

+5 to all attributes is not a minor buff. That is literally 40 levels for free.

Yea I second this. That's a lot of levels worth of stats.

No one forces you to play co-op. What you´re saying sounds like "Bruh, I am forced to put points in STR to use this great axe."
Besides the fact that you get plenty rune arcs without playing online, you don´t even need them. That being said, all the souls games are build around co-op/online play. It´s not that FromSoft hid that from you. ;)

Rats drop rune arcs.

Thanks for the infos guys. As I'm playing solo I have to make due without greater runes due to that limitation. I'm searching the world quite thorougly but so far I only have 4 rune arcs - way too few to even consider using one, let alone on a regular bases (e.g. "every harder boss"). Pity - I thought greater runes are part of the "natural character progression" and always have a passive effect active.



Playing online is not an option, thus a hole game mechanic is lost to me.

Rats drop rune arcs, farm rats.

Thanks :) I'll test the output of rats. Not a friend of having [yet another] extra grind while online-player just get them through their normal game progression but oh well - at least there is an option.

The thing is - the game doesn't need the online part. The solo part shouldn't be artificially gimped only to bate people into using the online mode (it's not just ED doing that - a lot of games do that as part of the "online part design"). Ideally, online & offline have no differences in item acquisition. It's odd enough that we have all those multiplayer items as loot reward. (quite frustrating for a solo player: "yeah, new loot" "oh, it's again online-junk consumables")

They're pretty common once you reach the 3rd area, almost in every other chest, i already have like 30 of them and i barely co-op

There's soft caps so it will be less useful late game, and some stats are useless for certain builds, like i am playing strength faith build, the only useful stats are strength, endurance, mind, and faith, rest is optional. +5 to strength is like what? 10 to 30 points of extra damage for a fully upgraded weapon and +3 to defense?

These people new to the souls game should be thankeful rune arcs are just awesome buffs, instead of how it's been in previous games, where you're PUNISHED if you keep dying, and something like effigy just brings you back to "normal" stats.
