⚠️ At +7 and above, failure can destroy the weapon. Always use Protection Scrolls for attempts +7 or higher unless you are prepared to lose the sword and restart from a new White Rune Sword (which requires re‑obtaining from the quest NPC?). The White Rune Sword is a quest item; if destroyed, you may need to abandon and re‑take the quest. Protect it at all costs.
💰 COST SAVING TIPS – ENHANCEMENT STRATEGY
- Use Protection Scrolls only from +7 onward – below +7, downgrade is the worst penalty, which is recoverable.
- Enhance during events – some events offer “Enhancement Success +10%” or “Double Enhancement Chance”. Save your stones for these periods.
- Farm Enhancement Stones in dungeons – Cubric and Parallel World give the best stone yield per hour. Form a farming party.
- Auction House tip – sometimes players sell Enhancement Stones in bulk at a discount. Buy in advance.
- Don’t rush – the quest has no time limit. Spread enhancement attempts over weeks to distribute the financial burden.
- Joker Cards – some servers allow Joker Cards as substitute Enhancement Stones; check your local market.
🛒 ALTERNATIVE: BUYING A +20 WHITE RUNE SWORD
The White Rune Sword is tradeable. You can skip the grinding by purchasing a +20 version from another player via the Auction House or direct trade. The quest only requires you to own a +20 White Rune Sword, not to enhance it yourself. However, be prepared to pay a premium – +20 weapons are expensive (often millions or even billions of Rupees).
💡 If you have rich friends or guildmates, borrowing a +20 White Rune Sword also works – you just need to have it in your inventory when talking to Hektor. Return it afterwards.
📋 WHITE RUNE SWORD – BASE STATS
- Weapon Type: One‑handed sword (can be used by many classes).
- Physical Attack: ~150–200 base (increases with enhancement).
- Magical Attack: ~100–150 base.
- Requirements: Level 150+, any class that can use one‑handed swords.
- At +20: P.Atk can reach 1500+, M.Atk 1000+ – a very respectable early end‑game weapon.
💡 Even if you don’t use the sword after completing the quest, you can sell it to another player who needs it for the same TP quest.
