There are many magic runes throughout Arx. Some are openly sold by traders, while others can only be found by exploring the world. Many runes are available in more than one location, but you only need one of each; additional runes can be sold for a good profit. Rune locations are noted below and throughout the walkthrough where appropriate, although most can be collected as soon as the area becomes available.
