Dont know is the answer.

I suspect  by the time the majority of players are able to get to the higher levels, they will have collected enough rune pieces doing it the slow way for all their needs.

As I feel by the time I get the invaders equipment that I want, it will be obselete to my needs.

I would like some clarification on the rule about you cannot put gems of higher class than is the level of equipment ,Its new on me,

QUOTE  from MODERATORS POST.

".........Remember that the class of gem you want to use must not be higher than the equipment type........... "

Have I not seen (as I thought I have) low level equipment with high class gems?

Is it a new rule? If so its not fair on those who havent been able to make use of the old rule

Dear WDYWTNTF,

This situation is part of the game's functionality:

1. the class of gem you want to use must not be higher than the equipment type;
2. runes are only inlaid into the 4th slot of Legendary equipment.
   

If you have any other questions, we will be happy to help. Enjoy the game!

Such as a legendary gem cannot be placed into an epic piece of level 50 armor. But a legendary gem can be placed on a piece of level 5 legendary quality armor.

The quality (not the wearable level) is the only requisite when playing gems and runes.

Do high level ghosts drop completed runes?

No and yes...

No, it don't drop completed runes, it remain fragments...

Of course I have no record, but I  thought I had  previously seen others  use equipment with gems of higher quality than the quality of the equipment. 

I never tried  the experiment myself,for various reasons, including thinking its wasteful to build non legendary equipment, or destroy gems by smashing them ,(rather than using a one use only knife to remove them ).

Given how hard it is to make them,it ought to be free removal.

You also need the gems.

I have been playing over a year and only recently acquired  my first legendary gem, from a completed task, so it shows how rare they are  to find.

Yes I know about invaders and Ubers.

Surely you can put RARE  gem in a RARE equipment.

The official text suggests not.

You are most definitely mistaken m8.  I've been playing for a couple of years now and it's always been the case that the gem must be equal to or lower than the equipment.  It's impossible to be able to select a higher level gem and it always has been. If you try yourself to add a gem to a piece of equipment, you will see the gems which are of a higher level at the bottom of the list and if you try to add them, you will be met with an error msg

With regards to dropping completed runes - no.  Even with Shamen knowledge maxed, you will never get a hit which gives you enough for 1 leg rune.  The more shamen knowledge you build, (with regards to things like critical hit, sustained attack, shamen offense), the more fragments you get.  I'm currently at level 7 on the top row of knowledge and have leg runes unlocked and with a good hit i can get about 2-300k fragments from a single level 5/6 ghost, taking around 30/40k shamen energy respectively.  

Hope that is of some use to you

Regards

Thanks, but I did say I wasnt sure, I  cannot ever remember reading the rule previously, and had never encountered the situation myself.

As to my question about the following quote from the intial post by the administrator.

"Remember that the class of gem you want to use must not be higher than the equipment type.

That means that a Rare piece of equipment can be inlaid with Simple, Usual, and Unusual gems;" 

Recently,I definately  saw  a RARE  piece of equipment inlaid with a RARE gem, so there is a contradiction here.

Though it wasnt me who asked the question,thanks also for the information about Runes.

It will be a long time,if ever, before  its of concern to me

If anyone of you need a complete list of Material/Invader, Gems/Invader and Runes/Ghost you can get a copy of my spreadsheets  (MS-Office) -

You can find me in Kingdom 364 Ilorrgskheyr;  x:253 y:590 or write me a PM and we find solution

Hii, 

Since it is very difficult to get the 32% offense runes of any kind. I was wondering how do the 9% health boost runes fare(because i have a lot of them )? 

I think you are asking if 9% health is equivalent to, or better than, 32% offence.

You have the choice to use what  runes you have in the mean time, or wait with nothing till you have better. 

Unless  things have changed with the more recent updates. 

Health> Defence> Offence.
