Buying Runes of Shattering

[Valar Morghulis]

Okey, so pls tell me. If i can hop from one town to another to buy them from vendors unlimited times, why do they have to be limited in shops in the first place? At least let the vendor reset every echo i do. And spare me the loading time. :( I wanna play the game not looking at loading screens.

You can buy them once then they are on cooldown.

There is no cooldown, you can hop between the same two cities and buy them all the time. The shops reset as soon as you leave the area.

And until you "level the area" they are on cooldown, there are no more at that location until then. The state of cooldown is persistent even when you exit the game. The shop vendor also regenerates them over time, one by one. But basically you can buy them all from all vendors then they are gone for some time. Personally, I don't bother with buying them after a while, they are a common drop later.

Sorry, but this is not true at all. I jumped around between Thetima and Heoborea for 10mins and the vendors ALWAYS had at least one rune of shattering. So they are definitly not on a cooldown and not gone for some time.

Well, they are for me.

Guess you're playing a different game then. Or did not try it.

More likely he's checking the shop between mono runs, which doesn't refresh because monos are all one zone that you never leave

The merchant in monos is bugged afaik. There stock is supposed to refresh after each echo run.

This may be so, but as I have written before, I was talking about hoping towns, which do reset. And if they reset, why have them be sold out in the first place. Just kill the middle man and let me buy as much as I want.

They should just be buyable or even better yet let us pay the buy price to do it at the station.

All this side talk about refreshing is not the point. There is no reason to limit access to them.

Exactly. Also, it didn't use to be like this. They used to gain one rune every X minutes and 4 runes on level up. I have tested it now and you can hop around and buy a rune (1 rune as far I saw) each time you reload a town/area. This seems like a bug to me. If not, oh well, I will jump around for 5 minutes, get 100 runes and I can skip doing rune echos.

Sorry OP, my bad!

No worries. But that's what i mend with, it's kinda pointless to hop around in the first place. If they are on a cooldown, It's a whole different story, but if it's intended to be that way now, just make them buyable without a limit in the first place.
