I recently ran into a stalker and 35 prowlers. This made me painfully aware that I needed to update my gear. Off to inferno where I scored a Firey Avenger of Forgus for my paladin. All that’s left is to throw a rune in there and go smash a stalker. Wait… 9.6M gold? <br/><br />
<br/><br />
So I guess I have 2 inquiries. First, is it worth the gold? I could throw a rune into a Lance of Forgus (which has a higher base value than the Firey Avenger) for a paltry 1.25M. Second, is it worth the Electrum Rune (which seem pretty rare)? I hear there’s an Axe of Souls floating around somewhere in the universe. Maybe I should just go questing after that guy? Thanks!<br />

You can't put a rune on the Axe of Souls or any other special, named, equipment like the Dragonbone Bow. You need silver (or better) runes to hit the Stalker and prowlers. <B>'''DO NOT USE THE ELECTRUM RUNE.'''</B> It is far too valuable. That should be used on an excellent piece of armor (Andursteel or Forgus) for a character with low hit points or low saving throw. On a monk's buckler, for instance.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
Those werewolves are one of the toughest encounters in the game. What you want to do is have your thief hidden (preferably with a safety wand and plenty of healing potion) and your three casters (or two plus a weak character) in the back rank. Have anyone with a quality runed weapon (or Silversword, which is already silver) attack and anyone with a poor weapon defend. Unless your bard has a Singing Sword, he or she should defend every round. (The Singing Sword can take a rune. The bard sword isn't with putting one on.)<br/><br />
<br/><br />
I would start with everyone defending and a Farther Foe. Then as they advance you can get a free attack. You will be healing and pushing them away <B>'''A LOT'''</B> so you can heal the wounded, so make sure your casters each have 2-3 harmonic gems. These guys are 100% Vmagic resistant, so don't waste spell points on anything but healing, reviving, and farther foe.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
Even if you do everything right, the encounter will be touch and go for about a day (game time) and will probably take 36+ hours (game time) to complete.<br/><br />
<br/><br />
Good luck!<br />

Thanks for the advice Visstar. I’ll just put a silver rune into Firey Avenger then… that will save me a few million gold anyway.<br />
