Rune sets

It rolls 2 runes, each at a 100% chance.

Each roll picks one of these sets at random. Every player near it gets their own rolls. If it was empowered when it died, it rolls twice as many.

A rune it drops is Common, Uncommon or Rare. The rune has 3 stars. The piece slot can be Rune, Under-coat, Belt, Charm, Ring, Amulet or Badge.

Rune odds

The odds depend on where a rarity sits in the creature's list, not on the rarity itself. With three rarities, the first drops 50% of the time, the second 40% and the third 10%. Stars work the same way. The game rolls rarity and stars separately, so each cell is the two chances multiplied.

Each rune is from one of its 3 sets, 33.33% each.

Rarity	3 stars
Common	50%
Uncommon	40%
Rare	10%

In bounty fights

In a bounty fight, the active deed tier sets its numbers and the runes it can drop. Its number of rune rolls and their chance stay the same at every tier. Its item and gold drops do not change with the tier.

When it spawns in the fight of the bounty Hoard King's Bounty:
