How to Make Your Bloodrune Holder

Total time: Less than 10 minutes

Total cost: 1m silver + 500 bloodscrip + flat etched stone + carved ur-barath totem (roughly 1.5m total)

The bloodrune holder is a neat item that occupies a nonfunctional belt slot (not a sack slot) and adds an “illusion” line to your appearance. For example:

You see Tatterclaws.  
He appears to be a Half-Sylvan.  
It is difficult to properly see his features as the chiropteran hood of his shroud is pulled down over his face.  
He gives off a wild demeanor. [This is the bloodrune “illusion” line!]  
He is in good shape.  
He is wearing a hooded traveler's cloak, an autumnal sylvan shirt, a variety of belt-worn pouches, and some soft doeskin boots.

Different types of bloodrunes do different things to your appearance. You can browse them all here.
