Congrats with your new Rune Raven Sakrysta:D. I bought the first. Now saving my gems for completing some habitat I like. Otherwise I really want this one.Thanks! This means the only element I don't have an animal for is Food. Hopefully I will have hoarded enough gems by the time one goes on sale again to get one! I was really torn on whether to go ahead and pop on this one, but it is very cute, and I love birds. So I decided to splurge. :)

I'm missing food as well, and bomb:(. So many things I like but I need to make a decision on spending my gems for.
You did made a great deal for buying it. I love birds as well.
I'm curious how it works on the level earns, with the Runic Fox in mind, I know that for every form the earning increase. So 4 runes on epic form. The Raven can be collected max 3 runes, so only after raising it to adult you can collect 2 I assume? I'm speculating how this works. Can you confirm and let us know what and how about this earning process? Or someone else TIA.

Is there a difference, rune collection wise, between the raven and the fox? Or are they essentially the same?

No - fox and raven are same when it comes to rune producion. But never collect before 12 hours are up if you have one animal. If you have 1 level 15 rune animal then you will get 1 rune every 6 hours. But the timer resets the moment you collect. So if you wait exactly 24 hours (+ few moments extra to be sure) - you will get 4 runes for like 24 hours.
If you wait 12 hours( + few moments extra) - this is where collect mark appears over the habitat - you can have 2 runes.

But if you collect like 11 hours 59 minutes- you will get only 1 rune and timer resets. It doesn't matter that you only had under 1 minute left until next rune - timer resets and starts new 6 hour countdown toward next rune. So worst thing you can do is collect each rune separately - as you can only get 2 runes per day - if you are so unlucky that you collect before at least collection time shows above habitat.

Wow! Thanks for the tip Destiel! Do you know if the Concussive Canary works the same way? I haven't tracked it, but mine seems to recharge at the same times every day regardless of when I collect.

Mine seems to work same way as Runic fox. I will try to keep eye on it, see if this is also true for Bomb. I've never even tried to collect bombs before collection shows up above habitat. Just wanted to be sure.

[Callyvitale19]

I would really like this one to go with my runic fox because there is room for 2 in the habitat but I'm so low on gems right now and we're almost done with the LB. I guess it depends on how many gems I have left after the LB and if I get a sale before we start the SB.

[AppieP]

It looks like they changed the rune production to 4 gems a day. Same like the Fox. For every form 1 rune more.

I wasn't planning to purchase this, but all of a sudden I need 99 Runes per expansion?!?!? I was at 80 runes per expansion for a long time. It is a big jump to 99 from 80 and it adds 2 days to the wait between expansions. :(

I think that the Concussive Canary is actually a better deal because you can get up to 4 bombs per day, and, depending on how lucky you are mining, you can get more like 8 Runes per day. But it's also nice to just have Runes that you don't have to work for.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

[Sakrysta]

Honestly I bought it less for the runes than for the battle element testing. :) Granted, so far Runes hasn't been a high-percentage strong fighter, but the completeist in me wants to TEST ALL THE THINGS! LOL

Just my thoughts on the matter.I wish I only needed 99 runes because mine just went up to 110 runes to expand and I have a feeling as time goes on that it will continue to rise.

[G4OU812]

Wish I had enough to buy it. Looks good and could use the extra runes and I'm at 70 per expansion, jeezaloo at 80 , 99 and 110 per expansion.

I have both the Raven and the Fox. It says I should be able to get 3 a piece each but have only been getting 4 a day

How often do you collect? Rune and bomb are bit tricky. If you collect as soon as you seen a +1 rune - it isworst thing you can do. If you have level 15 fox or raven. You will get 1 rune per 6 hours. 2 per 12 hours; 3 for 18 hours and 4 for 24 hours. Hoever - the moment you collect - the timer WILL RESET. Meaning: Let's say it has been 11 hours and 59 minutes from last collection - one animal has made 1 rune during that time, and next one should pop up under 1 minute. However - if you collect before that time - timer will reset and you will wait for this rune 6 hours. NOT 1 minute. Basically : safest way to collect from those animals - wait until there is collection mark above habitat. Look at time - make sure it has been at least 12 hours or 24 hours ( and not even Minute before - wait few more to be extra sure) , since you would lose at least one rune per collection.

Worst thing someone could do - collect randomly per 1 rune - and if they are unlucky - they may end up with 2 runes from level 15 rune animal. ( if they collect 1 rune separately slightly before 12 hours are up). Even if it could make 4 runes per 24 hours.

Personally I just wait like 24 hours and bit extra. for 1 animal. and 12 hours ( + 2 minutes extra) for 2 animals - then I know I maxed out.

[corkiesnest]

I have fox and raven, the raven doesn't seem to produce any runes. Does anyone know why? I do wait 24 hours before collecting.

[corkiesnest]

I do collect every 24 hours. I should be getting 4 from fox and 3 from raven, but I am not. Any know why?

[Rynetory2]

Did you place them together in 1 habitat? For your information, the Runic Retreat holds a maximum capacity of 4 runes.

[LilliDee]

Why doesn't owning a rune producing animal allow us to hold more than 80 runes like how the bomb producing dragons do in dragon story? It is very irritating to be one rune away from expansion, enter the mine to find it and miss out on one or two runes because they are over the limit. I thought having the Rune Raven would fix that issue but it doesn't.

[corkiesnest]

You have to put them together. That is the only habitat for runes and you are only allowed one per account. Wow what a waste of gems. Had I known I wouldn't have purchased the raven.
