# Verisium Runeforging * Follow [[The Runeseeker]] to unlock Verisum Runeforging in Act 1 this system allows you to add [[Runic Ward]] to your armours by spending verisium. Armours lower than level 55 gain Runic Ward with no downside. Armours above this level trade some of their regular base defences for Runic Ward. * Added new defence: Runic Ward. This defence kicks in once you reach 1 life allowing you to continue to survive while your Runic Ward takes damage. Runic Ward regenerates independently of your life. * Added 13 new Alloy currency items, which can be unlocked through Remnant encounters after completing Farrow's quest in Act 2. These items add various new crafted modifiers to items by replacing an existing modifier, similar to Perfect Essences. * After unlocking Unique Verisium Runeforging in Act 3 you can upgrade the base type of Unique Weapons and Armours that drop at levels lower than 55. Upgraded Unique Weapons will have higher damage, and Upgraded Armours will have increased base defences as well as Runic Ward. Allowing them to be more competitive at higher levels. Unique Armours above level 55 can still be Runeforged to modify their defences to include Runic Ward at the cost of reducing their other defenses similar to the base types. * Unique Verisium Runeforging has additional properties when used on Kalguuran Uniques.
