Oh…uhh, dummy me, RUNESTONE not RUNIC. 
hmmm, I rolled a light set, got one healer perk, one hatchet perk and the rest generic defence perks. Not sure they are worth it. If I could force the third perk, even from a limited pool of PVE perks, it would be THE most valuable reward ever. I already have warded armor sets with a mixture of two perk and three perk pieces for all PVE enemies, so it would be to roll a better piece than my current two perkers.
I’ve made two runic stopwatches so I will give them a spin to see what I get.
They’re incredibly valuable to use on things that have incredibly expensive ir rare craft mods.
All of the pvp perk craft mods are BoP, and you just dont get that many. Doubling your chances of a 3 perk legendary in that scenario is totally worth it.
Tested, sadly I was mistaken.
It’s simply +3min/+3max on your GS rolls, with forced Con.
The Medley Faire 600GS patterns are a better way to roll away your mats.
Or, just buy what you want and sell your refined materials, that tends to be the best method, or so I’ve found.
I have something like 800k shards, so it’s a way to use them.
500 shards is a lot at start but after a little while you don’t even know what to do with them.
Also 1 gypsum gives 400 shards @ 625
So a runestone stopwatch is basically a « temporary » major trophy that give you +3 imin GS on your craft with CON ? Feels it’s underwhelming for the price of it. Obsidian void stone cost around 50g -70g / each so it’s cost around 2.5 to 3.5k to craft ONE runestone stopwatch. Do we have other utility for runestone at the moment ?

I dont even bother with it.
Crafted only one since it exists.
going from 595-600 to 598-600 is a decent statistic based chance improvement at getting a 600GS roll. With crafted items getting that 600 drop is more important than getting named drops cause you cant force the third perk on something that doesnt roll 600. There is use for it. But more to maybe sure up a set build that is further along.
I would be okay if it was BoE so someone in my company could craft me weapon ( hell’o weapon smith pants) but you need 3 major trophies for runestop to be useful. Make it BoE and I agree with you , either way just an other mechanic for the rich to get richer and the poor to waste rss

that would be broken…
crafting is allready so easy with this
use shirking fortification or a weapon perk, resilient is probably 7/10 times the second perk and after that i bet refreshing or smth useful else
since ward is almost gone…
it is fine as it is… dont make the game even more easy
what i really just dont like is the CON forced there
I have crafted 4 runic stop watches. each roll came out 598. i stopped making them.
You are missing the point here. You are saving on a timeless shard and x10 iron guardsman. You also don’t have to be max armoring + trophies + gear to use it and you get a huge statistical increase. This is an alternative to those who haven’t reached the crafting top levels yet to be competitive, it’s just a slower pace. Save up for a week and you’ll have quite a few you can craft. Not to mention you can proc duplciates with stonecutting gear + fort. Timeless leg shards go for 1500-1800 on my server and iron guardsman are at 160/ea. Shard+Guardsman alone is 3-3.4k lol.
Also, it’s much less than 2.5-3.5k if you craft up from stone with stoncutting gear. You will get a huge amount of free resources + aptitutde chests. Crafting these and the armor also gives armoring XP. This is a huge win and a great way for a “daily” player with a few hours to pop in and craft these then do a mass craft at the end of the week. Imagine hitting a BIS with this and selling it for 500k. You will be set.

Nothing but facts here.
Exemple i have 3 basics armoring trophies, I can craft 592-600 , with runestone stopwatch I could craft 595-600 so this isn’t a HuGE buff as you said . It’s still Cather to the richer. You NEED all gear and trophies to have 598-600 either way it’s just a +3 boost. Not sure where you going there. Edit : why you pricing everything timeless and iron guardsman but somehow you farm all the lodestone for the runestone ? Stop with the Kapp pls. You can’t compare apple and orange

+3 without gear and trophies is a “huge statistical increase”?
at least you can borrow the trophies if you got friends.
but thats bout it.
Can you borrow the weaponsmith pants ?
Those are cheap and easy to farm now.
I just now thought of it… Can you craft weapons with it? It’s my only non 595-600 skill.
If so, Please tell me it’s not forced con…? lol
