Rune Goldberg Machine
For daily rune combos, "Vis Wax FC" is a great FC to find them out, and they put the names of the runes in their FC title, so it is very quick to find out. I can't keep up with it every day as I'm more busy than usual.
The Rune Goldberg Machine is a daily D&D located in the Runecrafting Guild, located on top of the Wizard's Tower. The best teleport method to get there is the Wicked Hood teleport, which will place you right beside the guild portal. You must have 50 Runecrafting to enter.
Inside the Runecrafting guild, interact with the machine to get the following interface:
The objective of this D&D is to put different kinds of runes in each of the 3 slots, and combine these runes to create between 1 and 100 Vis Wax (The amount gets larger the better your combination of runes, which resets daily). The runes for the most part are random, however:
- Each day, the rune required for slot 1 is the same for every player
- Each day, the rune required for slot 2 is 1 of 3 different runes, the choice of 3 being the same for every player
- Each day, the rune required for slot 3 is random for every player
This means you can find help from other players to find out the combinations required.
For instance, on release day, the following runes are required:
Slot 1 - Fire Runes
Slot 2 - Random between Air, Law, and Chaos Runes
Slot 3 - Random for every player
Slot 1 - Accounts for 30% of the total Vis Wax (30 Vis Wax for the correct rune in this slot)
Slot 2 - Accounts for 30% of the total Vis Wax (30 Vis Wax for the correct rune in this slot)
Slot 3 - Accounts for 40% of the total Vis Wax (40 Vis Wax for the correct rune in this slot)
On the left of each slot, you will see a colored circle, which will be either red, orange, or green, which will only appear once you have EACH SLOT with a rune entered:
Green - This is the best rune for this slot
Orange - This rune has at least 50% of the Vis Wax value for this slot
Red - This rune has under 50% of the Vis Wax value for this slot.
Each rune will have a "Base Cost" which will be how many runes of that type you will lose upon maxing Vis Wax with your current input. The "+xxx" is how many more runes on top of the base cost you will lose. This amount will increase for every time you attempt to change your combination, up to a maximum of 100 tries per day, so it is best to settle for a decent amount instead of going until you get 100 Wax.
The following are the base costs for each rune:
Vis Wax
You can make up to 100 Vis Wax per day, and redeem it for the following rewards:
10 Wax - Reroll a daily challenge to a new one of the same skill, or a new skill if desired
20 Wax - Extend your current daily challenge to require double the amount, but also receive double the exp reward (no extra key or raffle ticket is obtained via extended challenge)
20 Wax - Extend your daily divine resource gather limit by 50%
40 Wax - Extend your daily divine resource gather limit by 100%
Random Wax - Extend your aura timer by 50% or 100% based on the following Wax costs:
Unknown Wax - Reset your Wisdom or any tier Jack of Trades aura to use a second time
Vis Wax is also tradeable, so you can decide to sell the wax you gain, or buy more to obtain more rewards. Rewards can only be claimed once per day, but can claim MULTIPLE different rewards each day
