    What Runestones are used for?

    In the world of Kingdom Hunter, there is a vital currency called Runestones. As the currency used by the Gods of the past, Runestones still remain and exert great power on Ethera.

    Runestones are an important resource early on as you build your Kingdom, but will be even more vital at later stages of the game.

    Runestones Availability

    The amount of Runestones in your possession appears in your inventory. To see how many Runestones you have, go to 'Item > Misc.' and look for the Icon above.

    How to Obtain Runestones
    Rune Trees

    Rune trees are a mythical tree where you can gather Runestones. Unlike other resources, Runestones grow back after 15 minutes. You can collect Runestones by sending a Corps to the 'Rune Tree' on the World Map. After discovering a Rune Tree, you can Save the location and also share it in Alliance or World Chat.

    Daily Mission and Achievement Rewards

    Runestones can be obtained by completing certain Daily Missions or Achievements. It is always a good idea to check what rewards these missions give before completing them, since you can use the reroll function to get different missions and rewards.

    Dungeon Box Item Rewards
    Runestones can be acquired from the Dungeon Treasure Boxes, which are the reward for winning dungeon battles.

    Alliance Ranking Rewards
    The Weekly Alliance Ranking rewards the Top 1 – 100 Alliances every Monday at 12:00 PM (UTC+9) with Runestones, which are automatically sent to your ingame mail. Joining a powerful Alliance will increase the odds of you getting lots of Runestones on a regular basis.

    Contaminated Fog Purification
    Clearing the Contaminated Fog for Freya can reward you with Runestones. If you are waiting for a building to complete or for a Corp to return back to your Kingdom, sending out a scout to clear Fog is a good way to get rewarded for little effort.

    Various Events

    Kingdom Hunter often has events that give out rewards, like Runestones. During events like the Monthly Attendance, Runestones are given out at regular intervals just for logging in every day and checking the calendar.

    Runestone Utilization
    Portal Power Plant Upgrade

    Kingdom > Fort Yard > Defense Facilities > Portal Power Plant​
    This building can be found in your Fort Yard and will increase the number of Units your Heroes can command. Unlike other defensive buildings, in order to upgrade the Power Plant, you will need to use your Runestones. The Portal Power Plant takes a very short time to upgrade, so be sure to remember to level it up to give your Heroes a power boost!

    Hero Summon
    [​IMG]
    Each day, you can use your Runestones to summon a Hero from the SHOP. Using this special Runestone Summon will guarantee at least a 2★ Hero. It is a good way to gain Heroes, especially when starting out, as you will need plenty of Heroes to use throughout the game.

    Hero Class Study

    Upgrades to the Units a Hero commands can make a big difference in how powerful they are. After Tier 2 Units, performing a Class Study to get higher Tier Units will require Runestones, in addition to Food and Certificates. Each higher tier of Class Study will be more expensive than the last, so saving up Runestones for this purpose is important to keep in mind.

    Prevent Prisoners Escape

    When you capture a Hero you want to recruit, you can extend the amount of time they stay in Prison with Runestones. This can give you the vital time needed to Persuade them to join your Army.

    Wounded Hero Treatment
    [​IMG]
    When a Hero is in Wounded status, he or she cannot participate in combat or perform other actions. However, with Runestones, you can use the Instant Recovery function to immediately heal Hero to free them up for important tasks.

    Tavern Expansion

    In the Tavern, Runestones can be spent to increase the number of Recruit Chances. Early on, this investment can help you fill out your Army quickly.

    Inherit Hero Special Stats
    [​IMG]
    Hero Inheritance allows you to move PIL bonuses to specific Heroes. This ritual is very costly and difficult to perform. You will need 5 Heroes of the same Star Rank with the same letter of PIL and also a large amount of Runestones.

    Runestones Starting Out
    At the early stages of the game Kingdom, Runestones are a great way to get your Kingdom off to a hot start. Using your early Runestones to Expand your Tavern, Hire Heroes, or upgrade your Portal Power can give you a boost to tackle higher level content. As your Kingdom develops, Runestones will be useful to address specific issues that occur, like healing your Wounded Heroes or extending the time you have a Prisoner to recruit them.

    Advance Runestone Utilization
    At higher levels, battles will become the major focus of your Kingdom’s development, and your Runestone usage will start to shift to making the most of your Heroes. Using Class Study to improve your Units and Hero Inheritance will become much more important to how powerful your Kingdom will become.
