Mastercrafted Runes |
After tearing the notice about the Runewright off the notice board near the Seven Catts Inn, he can be found near the Upper Mill in the north-east corner of the Novigrad area.
Only items with 3 Glyph / Runestone sockets can be enchanted. This means that only chest armor can be enchanted with Runewords, and that items with less than three sockets (i.e. silver / steel swords and body armor) must be upgraded before enchanting.
Basic Runes
In order to access his enchantments, you must first complete the side quest Enchanting: Quality Has its Price. To do this, you must (a) find a sizeable quantity of Jade in the hills north of Novigrad, then donate 5,000 Crowns to the Runewright so he can commission the tools to craft basic enchantments.
