Runes

Runes are Special equipment in Archero 2. They can be found in the Gear menu on the Runes Tab. Runes can be obtained via Digging in the Rune Ruins, from the Chapter rewards (are unlocked upon reaching Chapter 5 in the main portion of the game) or when there is an event they are sometimes purchasable.

Rune Workshop

Rune Workshop allows players to merge the Runes in order to improve their quality. It will require either an exact copy (duplicate) of an item of the same quality tier or same type of item of the same quality tier fodder.
