Legend: Legacy of the Dragons Forum

In total there are 11(10 effectively) existing gnome runes if you dont count the fake wooden runes you can drop on a lower level.
2 Gnome runes for each rarity (Gray, Green, Blue, Purple, Red) as well as the red Dragnor rune which as far as I know isnt actually obtainable ingame though I might be wrong.

The Gnome Runes and Opening location are as follows.

Grey:
Argo
Open in Communal Grave(H) / Place of Sorrow (M)
Yaz
Open in Ridge of Kayar(H) / Gorge of Gondi (M)

Green
Ezav
Open in Steppe Vista(H) / Barrow of Death (M)
Khagann
Open in Wild Forest(H) / Glade of Dreams (M)

Blue
Rayno
Open in Glade of Oblivion(H) / Manor of Budrimakh (M)
Terp
Open in Foot of the Barrow(H) / Forgotten Mines (M)

Purple
Fey
Open in Jasmine Brushwood(H) / Ridge of Darkness (M)
Frey
Open in Thistle Brushwood(H) / Ice grotto (M)

Red
Bego
Grotto Maettro(H) / Lights Edge (M)
Anguz
Settlement of Faytir(H) / Baurvill Hamlet (M)
Dragnor
Plateau of Silence (H/M)

Gray Runes can be opened without having to go through any sort of fight while Green-Purple runes will engage you in harder and harder fights against minotaurs and to be able to obtain the treasure from a red rune you do not only need to traverse the enemy continent but then fight yourself through a mini Minotaur instance, so be prepared as a loss in the battles will mean a loss of your charged rune.

I'm not going to link all the treasures you can get from them here but with higher rarity you get more bang for your QS respectively and that's not really what this post was about though im sure someone will be more elaborate than me on that topic

What Gnome runes do exist and where to open them?

The gnome runes should be the map of the key to the gnome secret tresures.
There are two for each type(grey,green,blue,purple,red)

Each one have his own place to open, after you charge it with enough quicksilver:
Yaz = Ridge of Kayar
Argo = Communal Grave
Khagann = Wild Forrest
Ezav = Steppe Vista
Rayno = Glade of Oblivion
Terp = Foot of the Barrow
Fey = Jasmine Brushwood
Frey = Thistle Brushwood
Bego = Grotto Maettro
Anguz = Settlement of Faytir

Pay attention, these are only for humans
Pay more attention, only grey gnome rune do not have any protection against the thiefs(us? ) from green gnome rune tresure up to red, there are minotaurs, increasing difficulty progressing with the rune rarity.

And last but not least, you can get a load of usefull stuff from those tresures, but ofc it depends on your personal luck

There are 2 types of Gnome runes categorically : Counterfeit and regular ones
The Counterfeit runes as the name suggest are kinda fakes and require low lvl resources to open with not very regular good rewards

While the regular ones require Quicksilver to open them and have specific human and mag locations to open them. They give rewards in form of various resources or gnome runes itself or even QS apart from the normal and valuable gnome coins.

The locations are also clued in form of an easy riddle which u can get to know after you charge the rune with Quicksilver and they are as follows :

Colour Gnome rune Human Location Mag Location

Grey Argo Communal Grave Place of Sorrow
Yaz Ridge of Kayar Gorge of Gondi

Green Ezav Steppe Vista Barrow of Death
Khagann Wild Forest Glade of Dreams

Blue Rayno Glade Of Oblivion Manor of Budrimakh
Terp Foot of the Barrow Forgotten Mines

Purple Fey Jasmine Brushwood Ridge of Darkness
Frey Thistle Brushwood Ice Grotto

Red Anguz Grotto Maettro Light's Edge
Bego Settlement of Faytir Baurvill Hamlet

The red rune locations are in enemy lands for both humans and mags ;P
