Ankhs & PvM Runes¶

Two separate systems:

Mastery Ankhs (PvM runes) are socketed into character-wide slots and give PvM bonuses.
Ankh Necklaces are an earring-slot item with one fixed bonus.

Mastery Ankhs (PvM runes)¶

Slots¶

You don't socket ankhs into gear. They go into ankh slots on your character. You unlock slots with Rune XP, which you earn from killing monsters.

Up to 30 slots.
Each slot costs more XP than the last: about 54,000 XP for slot 1, 204,000 for slot 10, 622,000 for slot 20 and 1.3 million for slot 30.
Removing an ankh returns it to your backpack unchanged.

Tiers¶

Tier	Where it comes from
Bronze	monsters, chests, the rune vendor
Silver	monsters, chests, bosses, the rune vendor
Gold	chests, bosses, the rune vendor
Platinum	bosses only

Drops are weighted toward lower tiers (Bronze 8 : Silver 5 : Gold 3 : Platinum 1).

Stacking limit¶

Ankhs of the same property add together, up to a per-character maximum (the "Max" column below). That total is then still limited by the item property caps on Weapons and Spellcasting.

Most bonuses only work in PvM.
