Runes are special upgrades applicable to special slots in weapons in Dragon Age: Inquisition. For some runes, rune tier: Normal, Master, Superb, do not always appear in the same location. If you find your first lightning rune in a higher level area then backtrack to a lower level area and find another, the latter rune will be of higher tier. For this reason it's best to remember that if you're looking for superb you'll need to find all three locations in any order.
Demon-Slaying, Dragon-Slaying, Corrupting and Cleansing runes do not have a tier acquisition system and you will find precisely the tier listed at their respective locations. However, two of the runes (Superb Corrupting and Superb Dragon-Slaying) switch their respective position depending on which party of the mage-templar war was chosen.
The list below shows the location of the Schematics for each rune, not runes themselves found within the game. Once the Schematic has been acquired, one can produce Runes of that quality/type at will, providing you have the materials necessary. Runes can be crafted before even reaching Skyhold or meeting Dagna, but you must complete either "In Hushed Whispers" or "Champions of the Just" as this is required to spawn the first merchant (Havel) that sells blank rune stones.
All runes raise the basic attack power of a weapon for a specific amount, dependant on if it is an elemental or "slaying" rune and the rune's tier; elemental runes do not raise the attack power of a weapon as much as slayer runes, but allow preying on elemental weaknesses, and superb runes naturally have more power than lower tiers.
To see which materials are needed for each rune, please see the Rune Crafting Materials page.
Note: You CANNOT get Runes back once slotted, so do so wisely. Also, runes can be overwritten by other runes, if you decide later you wish to add a better or different rune.
