Runes
Runes or Glyphs are raw materials used for the Enchanting crafting specialization in Elder Scrolls Online. They are divided into four categories: Aspect Runes, Additive Potency Runes, Subtractive Potency Runes, and Essence Runes.
The Potency of the rune determines the level of items the Rune may be applied to. At each Potency level, there are two types of rune, "Additive" and "Subtractive". A different Rune will be made depending on whether an Additive or Subtractive Potency rune is used. Tip: the easiest way to tell the difference between an Additive or Subtractive rune (assuming you haven't translated it yet) is that all Additive runes will have the "ra" syllable in the name while the Subtractive ones will not. (Subtractive ones all have the "de" syllable, but this is not fool-proof, as a few Additive ones do as well.)
Changing the type of Potency rune from Additive to Subtractive will change the type of items the resulting Glyph may be applied to. Generally, Subtractive glyphs can only be applied to weapons and jewelry, while Additive glyphs can also be applied to armor.
The Essence Rune determines what the Rune actually does. It may have a different effect depending on whether you use it with an Additive or Subtractive Potency Rune, but the two options will be related. For example, a Dekeipa Rune ("Frost") with an Additive Potency will cause Frost Damage when applied to a weapon, but with Subtractive Potency, it will provide Frost Resistance when applied to jewelry. The amount of damage or resistance is determined by the Aspect Rune as well as the potency of the Potency Rune.
The Aspect Rune determines the overall quality of the Rune. A low-Potency Glyph on a low-level item with a high Aspect Glyph may be more powerful than a higher-Potency Rune with a low Aspect.
Rune Locations: All runes are found in the field, often near Ruins, Temples and oddly enough bridges. You can also find runes by looting "Heavy Sack" spawns on the landscape and dungeons, and from decontructing Glyphs or from the "Survey" reward of Writs. Hirelings also send you runes.
- Enchanting Writ: Some players report issues finding a "Jora" or "Jode" during enchanting instruction, or during earlier Writs. Jora and Jode can primarily be purchased from other players or acquired from Runestones in the field; due to how level scaling now works, higher-level players will only find glyphs containing higher-leveled Potency runes.

Thank you for putting this together. It really helped me organize my enchantments and see what runes I need to have on hand.
