It's kindof odd, but it seems like they only made a few versions of each element. At first I assumed that each weapon would have an elemental version of that weapon the same way that each armor has an elemental version. I appear to have been wrong though...
Regarding recaptures: Yes, this seems to be right. I stopped completing recaptures when I had four, and it stayed at four. Then when I completed the final map I quickly completed the recaptures. That way I was able to get the entire map completed once. Now off to get caught up on life, work, sleep....
Gotta love the sound effects in this game. I didn't know whether I was killing the Lost City of Kytish (level 8) boss or f#!%ing her! Edit:Sorry that was a bit obtuse (I'll blame the scotch) but I don't know what they were thinking with the grunts on that one!
Houseofg, you weren't obtuse. I thought the same thing. On another note, I wanted to mention that the Mastery Runes go up to level 10, with 110 power.
Very nice. I've been concentration on the mastery runes so that is good to know. Also recently got an Extra Move 3 (starts at 5%) without ever having seen a 2.
I am at the start of the 8th zone but have not been able to start it because the zones are being recaptured at such a ridiculous rate. Within 6 hours, 3 zones were recaptured, and getting them back is very hard at lvl 17. At this rate, for every new Zone I capture, I will have to recapture 5 zones. This is getting ridiculous. Edit: nvm, noticed the comments above saying not to bother chasing them until the map is clear.
Two annoyances (that I can think of ATM!): 1- that you can't grind the battle you want to beat because you lose all rune charging when you die and thus make no (or even lose) progress in that respect. 2 - that you have to select a rune to charge. Unless you have more than one of the same color slotted this seems like nothing more than busy work for no reason, and a gotcha if you forget to switch. I don't get the point.
It is a bit annoying having to switch runes to charge them, but imagine having 10 rejuvenate runes equipped if they all charged, you'd have so many of them charged at once that you'd be invincible.
Regarding recaptures, I never have more than four recaptures at a time. I assume that is the maximum. Has anyone experienced more than that?
I too find recharging a lot of runes to be a pain. I found that for the most part the active runes are most helpful in the earlier stages of the game. If one builds some good passive runes like mastery and life steal, plus gets a drain weapon, there isn't much need for active runes down the road.
The calendar trick also seems to throw defeated zones into stasis on the recapture front so I've had zero for awhile. I've stopped doing that because the gold farming in captured zones is a nice bump in and of itself. I'm sure once that starts back up in several days the recaptures will as well.
The elemental runes are seriously powerful. Since cold is buried so far towards the end of the game, I guess you either just level up 2-3 of each, and use as appropriate, or you specialize in water, which you get first, or fire, which you get second and is attached to useful skills. You can then bring a weak to that element rune and do major damage.
I picked the water and cold. Seemed the logical choices. So far the poison is the only one I haven't found really useful.
Heal max out at lev 3. (Not quite maxxed but 1200 for now when completely full). Where is Heal 2.? Beating monsters w 25k I need more. Lol I have less than 8k. It was hard.
The game seems more difficult today. I had been plowing through areas for the last few days without losing and then today I've already lost 2 out of 3 fights. It looks like they've done something to recapturing, they mentioned it on their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SpellFallBFS I wonder if anything else changed?
Anyone new to the game or old, should visit the wiki and update it. http://spellfall-game.wikia.com/wiki/Runes Atleast, I feel that way, so it's better for newbies or new tricks you have learned. My input.. Great game, addicted, but haven't bought anything. I should to support Backflip, maybe someday I will give in and spend some cash.
I just purchased Heal 2 and Rejuvenate. I have not tried Heal 2 yet, but rejuv is awesome. It was 900hp for one bar....
