Blacksmith question

[geryboy85]

who do you give the final rune? I will still get my 3rd rune slot no matter what?

Does it affect ng+ ? I f Sparky teaches me to rune craft myself, do I always have 3 slots going into ng +?

if you do Rad or Inf ending give it to the blacksmith lady
if you do Umbral ending give it to sparky

when you NG+ all quest reset so you lose the ability to craft at vestige and have to redo the choice of giving the rune to either of them

Sparky = Gerlinda shop prices doubled, Ability to upgrade from any vestages

Gerlinda = Shop prices remain same, upgrade at her shop, No upgrading at vestages

If you want to play ng+ then give it to sparky. YOu could upgrade at vestige before you unlock blacksmith in ng+

how does it affect the ending? I thought there were other quests that trigger those.

Because if you give it to gerlinda and you go with umbral ending you kill her at some point. So you lose any access to upgrades, changing runes etc untill you beat the game

at that point i'm already set to my weapons. I don't start to switch my weapons at the very end.

Nonsense, that's the best rune in the game.

Best rune for early game, garbage when you reach lvl 100 lol

For Umbral ending, you can postpone killing Gerlinde until you reach Bramis castle door with absolutely no bad consequences. By that time, you will most likely get all your end game gear, you can enhance and rune it properly and kill her afterwards. I gave tablet to her, got my +10 weapons, put runes in them and sacrificed her afterwards; no more need for her in that NG cycle.

I upgraded all my weapons, put the runes I wanted on them, then eliminated Gerlinda, but now some weapon's runes got un-socketed (basically the weapons that I didn't have equipped) with no way to re-socket. Is this a bug?
