Runes

Runes are obtainable items that apply special traits to weapons, tools, and armor items. Runes can only be socketed into equipment with open, available rune slots. They are sorted across three categories:
• They modify stats like mining speed, damage or luck rates.
• They increase damage output.
• They increase players survivability or movement.

Effect ranges are the wiki's; the roll inside the range is random. No tier list.
