==Rune Crafting/Upgrading==
The D3 team has confirmed that the [[Mystic]] will have some crafting [[recipes]] to create new runes, though there are no details yet, other than that they will use old Runes in the process.
It will also be possible to [[salvage]] unwanted runes for magical materials, or even to make new runes from scratch via the Mystic's [[crafting]] recipes.
===Rune Name Evolution===

::'''Question: '''Are all five runes equally as rare or is one or more types rarer than others?
::'''Bashiok:''' That’s a good question, I can see how that could be justified. I don’t know what the plan is there, I’ll have to ask. My gut is that it would be too much to keep some type of rune ‘power rating’ in mind when altering drop rates, especially post-release where patches could jumble them around a fair bit. “This rune sucks now but it’s still the rarest!” Also, ideally, each rune type will be equally viable to different people and builds. Saying one is more powerful than another would mean we’re probably balancing them to be, and that’s not the case.
===Rune Crafting/Upgrading===
The D3 Team has confirmed that the [[Mystic]] will have some [[crafting]] [[recipes]] to create new Runestones, though there are no details yet, other than that they will use old Runestones in the process. It will also be possible to [[salvage]] unneeded Runestones for magical materials, and even make new ones from scratch.

The names of the Runestones have changed at least twice during development. The original names were very straight-forward, describing what the runes did. They were then changed to a more evocative set of names, which proved too limiting when their functions were overhauled in early 2010, when the names were changed again, to their current color-based names.
