Today a new system has been introduced that lets players spend Bestiary Points at Vladruc. Bestiary Points are earned by killing elite creatures, identified by stars. Each star grants 5 points, and elite creatures can have up to 3 stars, meaning a maximum of 15 points per kill.
These points can now be exchanged for basic hunting runes at Vladruc. The available runes and their costs are:
- Heavy Magic Missile Runes: 30 points
- Intense Healing Runes: 26 points
- Fireball Runes: 26 points
- Ultimate Healing Runes: 44 points
This system is designed as a bonus for engaging with elite creatures, not as a full replacement for the normal rune economy. It is meant to slightly support hunting by rewarding encounters you already face during regular gameplay.
Only basic runes are available through this exchange. More powerful runes such as GFB and SD are intentionally excluded. While mages may earn points faster due to area hunting, they also have higher hunting costs, and the system is balanced with that in mind.
Some players may notice a temporary increase in rune availability over the next few days. This is expected, as Bestiary Points accumulated before the system was released can now finally be spent. Over a short period of time, usage should stabilize naturally.
Bestiary Points are separate from charm, dungeon and boss point systems. The intention is that every player, regardless of playstyle or preference for solo content, will encounter elite creatures and benefit from this system. Dungeon and boss points are likely to remain focused on other rewards, such as cosmetics.
As always, the system will be monitored closely, and adjustments can be made if any unintended behavior appears.
Happy Hunting!
