Why is there so much talk about runes and jewels disappearing?
Not all runes and jewels are subject to deletion by the ID Tag Scan. However, since there’s no way to tell which are legit and which might be deleted we suggest you always take “perming” precautions whenever you have unsocketed runes or jewels in your inventory or stash. You must do this whenever you leave a public or a private game, and if you’re diligent you shouldn’t lose anything. Please refer to question number 10 for an explanation of the perming process. Also, please note that you do not need to take this precaution once you have socketed your rune or jewel into an item, as the server only scans the ID of runes or jewels sitting in your inventory or stash.
