Runestones are signs on which you can write messages for other players to read. Each runestone can hold up to 100 characters. They can be lifted and moved.

How to Acquire

Use the Carve Runestone action on a boulder or rock.

How to Use

After the runestone is carved, you can click on it with the right mouse button to carve a message. That message cannot be altered later. When you write more than 100 characters on the runestone, the game will tell you that you have too much characters.

Quick facts

Runestones are immune to decay, but can be destroyed if engraved words insult someone's feelings.

Engraving a Runestone has a chance to trigger a lore event called "The Carving of Runes."
