The Engraving Process

To engrave a rune on your weapon(s), open your spellbook to the General tab and click on the Runeforging icon. You'll get a list of Runes that you know. Choose a rune, then click the Engrave button. Your mouse pointer turns blue -- use it to click on the weapon you want the Rune engraved upon. It helps to already have your character or bags open.

Limitations

Runeforge enchants will count as a permanent enchant, and thus overwrite any regular enchants such as mongoose or executioner.

Runes

There are eight different runes that can be affixed to your weapon. Four are for both one- and two-handers, two are for one-handers only, and two are for two-handers only. Only one rune may be affixed to a weapon at a time, and they can only be changed at the runeforge in Acherus or Shadow Vault in Icecrown.
