Lighthouse Runestones are one of the pre-scripted item options offered as a perk for Premium subscribers. Each is a 20-sided dice with various runes on each face. They are available for 300 Premium Points at the gift shop in the Mist Harbor Lighthouse. The giftshop offers a variety of styles, but all options have the same runes on the faces.

Available Styles

  • a faceted blue crystal runestone
  • a faceted sapphire runestone
  • a faceted green crystal runestone
  • a faceted crystal runestone
  • a faceted smoked glass runestone
  • a faceted red crystal runestone
  • a faceted violet crystal runestone

Analyze

You analyze the sapphire runestone and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:

This item can be altered, but its noun should remain a runestone.  The base material of the runestone must also remain something that can have a surface that would be glossy and iridescent.

The verbs Throw (to roll the sapphire runestone), Turn, Toss, Spin, Rub, and Kiss can be used on your sapphire runestone.

You get no sense of whether or not the runestone may be further lightened.
