Back in my day... you got ONE rune from harvesting a runestone.
Back in my day Angier Stower was considered to be the most annoying NPC.

Back in my day, White Werewolf "Pack Leader" didn't have two annoying pets, and I could add +2 seconds to his timer on each heavy attack. If I was surrounded by few mobs and charge heavy attack targetting all of them in process, it added +2 seconds for every mob from just one single heavy attack Werewolves were not criminals by default, and I could run around the city - I was killing and devouring Spiders and Mice to maintain my timer I never had so much fun again
