InLEGOFortnite,players can upgrade their weapons and equipment by crafting Runes at a Rune Forge. Runes allow players to upgrade gear with powerful passive effects, increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of tools, durability, weapon damage, and more. Crafting Runes inLEGO Fortniteisn’t cheap, but it’s still surprisingly accessible and highly recommended for skilled builders and intrepid explorers alike.
To start crafting Runes, players should start off by building and placing a Rune Forgeby finding some Knotrootand Glass. Knotroot can be harvested inside caves, while Glass is made by processing two Sand and one Brightcore in a Metal Smelter. 20 Knotroot and six pieces of Glass are required to build a Rune Forge. Once it’s been built and placed, players can learn the ins and outs of runecrafting.

Learn How To Use The Rune Forge
Interact with the Rune Forge to open a menu where you can select the weapon or item you want to add a Rune to. Weapons and items have a total of three empty slots for Runes.To add a Rune, simply roll for Runes: this produces a random set of three different Runes for you to choose from.
Adding and re-rolling for Runes costs Essence, which is a resource that can be obtained from many sources, including destroying structures, chopping trees, and defeating enemies. Here’s how much each Rune costs to add:
As such, players should carefully consider their choices before adding a Rune. Apart from the Essence cost, Runes also cannot be removed once added. It’s worth noting that the best Runes won’t be found in the random Rune rotation straight away;instead, this requires finding additional Rune Recipes.

How To Unlock New & Better Runes To Craft With
To find new and better Runes, players need to travel to the new Lost Isles region byusing a Battle Bus Fast Travel Station. The Lost Isles are instantly accessible from any Battle Bus Fast Travel Station.
To find new recipes for Runes, search the chests that randomly appear on Floating Islands: some will drop Klombo Rune Tomes (named after the adorable and goofy-lookingdinosaur Klombo). Reading a Klombo Rune Tome will add a random Rune recipe, and that Rune can appear when players are rolling for Runes. There are currently Common, Uncommon, and Rare Runes, with different effects:
Effect
Rune of Berserk
Increases sprint speed and jump height for a few seconds after attacking.
Rune of Undead Bane
Increases damage against undead enemies.
The quality of a Rune will determine how strong its effect is.For example, the bonus damage from a Rare Level III Rune of Damage will be significantly greater than the bonus damage from a Common Level I Rune of Damage. I’d generally recommend players spend the time to track down higher-quality Runes, as the benefits of lower-quality Runes tend to be modest at best.
It’s worth engaging with crafting Runes inLEGOFortnite,as they offer a great way for players to customize their gear to best fit their needs.
