Lost Ark has many different ways for you to increase the power of your characters, making them as strong as they can be to prepare for content like Abyss Raids or Legion Raids. One of these mechanics is the Skill Rune System, which is a series of equipable items that adds extra effects to your Skills. Skill Runes are equipable on specific skills and add an extra effect that makes your skills more powerful.

You can obtain Skill Runes by participating in certain activities throughout Lost Ark. Skill Runes are typically dropped from bosses or earned as collectible rewards, meaning you’ll have to invest some time before you get a good number of Skill Runes.
