As promised we do see more of them. TY
BUT...

I'm still seeing Potency 7 in VR10 Zone.
I'm still seeing 70% of Runes have been Essence Runes

First "Run" gave me 7 Essence, 2 Potency, 1 Aspect in VR10 Zone (Bang).
Continued with identical results in Craglorn with 10 more Runes found.
I'll keep updating as I find more and more runes.

    Just did a rune harvest run in Cyrodiil
    2 Essence, 4 Potency, 13 Aspect
    But Cyrodiil has always been the place to go for Aspect runes
    Did a run in a V10 zone
    4 Essence, 5 Potency, 3 Aspect

    Good ratios Natjur! I hope I'm just having poor RNG or something. By chance did all your potency show up like level 9 or 8 worst case?

    destroying glyphs VR9+ still doesn't give you potency runes or was this corrected ?

    Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! - Spells and incantations for those with the talent to cast them!

    The abundance of essence runes might also be caused by the fact that even most enchanters leave them untouched - you get plenty enough from deconstruction. Thus all the nodes slowly transform into essence runes since nobody picks them up. Then, if you've been running a set route always collecting every node whether it is an essence rune or not, this might be an issue.

    Is it me, or are all Aspect runes now just Ta? All day since the game updated to 1.1.2, I have been finding aspect runes but bar one Rekuta, all of them (15+) thus far have been Ta. Even in the heavy bags do I find Ta.

    As I burn down and murder, I know that God forgives.
    'Spite all the things I've done my soul yet forever lives.
    And all those caught in the shadow of my wings have cause to fear.
    I swear on all I've done, no evil shall linger here.

    The hireling is now at least mailing us Potency Runes and the correct level even. (Sweet).

    I'm still finding lots of Essence Runes in the last VR10 zone plus Potency 7 and 8 runes in that zone as well. Craglorn seems to have a mix 7-9 Potency runes.

    I highly doubt that.

    Essentially because every enchanter worth their salt knows that essence runes, while a dime-a-dozen; only come in a handful of actually USEFUL varieties.
    You pass them up & you're screwing yourself the next time you go to find some Oko or Makko runes in your bank for the seven pieces of armor you're making for one of your six alts.
