How to Farm Runes in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur

Runes are an underrated way to farm currency in Path of Exile’s Settlers of Kalguur league. You can net a couple of Divine Orbs by getting a Power Rune or even use these runes for powerful Runesmithing upgrades. There are ways to farm these runes efficiently, and everyone should take advantage of them because they don’t require a lot of time. Here’s how to farm Runes quickly in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur.

How to Get Rare Runes Fast in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur

Runes can be obtained through two methods:

• Shipping resources to Riben Fell, Kalguur, and Pondium ports.
• Defeating The Black Knight, Sasan, the Bandit Lord, and Admiral Valerius.

Encountering The Black Knight, Sasan, and Admiral Valerius is luck-based, so that method isn’t an efficient way to farm Runes. The Black Knight has a slim chance of spawning in one of your T16 maps. A Starfall Crater will appear randomly on the map, and you can enter it to fight The Black Knight.

Sasan, the Bandit Lord, occasionally kidnaps your mappers when they are running maps. You have the choice to save them, leading to the Sasan boss fight.

Admiral Valerius randomly commands your shipments when they are trading with other ports. You have the choice of rescuing them by fighting Admiral Valerius in Sailor’s Folly or paying a hefty ransom to save your crew.

All these bosses drop Runes, and even if their encounters are based on luck, you can always run more maps and ship more resources to have more chances at these encounters.

Best Way to Farm Runes in PoE 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur

The best way to farm Runes is through shipping. If you notice the ports circled in the image above, you’ll see a silver or runic icon on their banner. These ports will give Runes as a bonus reward for completing trades. It doesn’t matter which resources you send; as long as you are trading through these ports, you’ll get Runes as a reward when your crew arrives back in Kingsmarch.

The farming strategy is to always keep your shippers trading. Riben Fell only needs 30 minutes to finish a trade, and you can send multiple ships to Riben Fell simultaneously. You can complete six shipments per hour. However, you are going to run out of resources if you don’t manage them efficiently. You want to hit around 600,000+ shipment value, buffed by around 9,500 Thaumaturgic Dusts.

All the weapons and armor you receive should get disenchanted for Thaumaturgic Dusts so you can self-sustain. If you go for a higher shipment value, you’ll run out of resources soon. However, you won’t be playing every single hour of the day, so you’ll eventually stockpile some crops when you return to playing. Manage your resources wisely. If you aren’t going to play for the day, you can push out 4-5 million shipment values, so you can at least almost guarantee a Divine Orb (if you reach this value with just crops and Dust).
