Middle-earth Shadow Of Mordor Rune List

In Middle-earth Shadow Of Mordor you will need runes to upgrade your weapons. You get these by killing high ranking enemy Uruk and Orcs. The stronger the enemy the better the Rune you get. Check out the Middle-earth Shadow Of Mordor Rune List here!

At first it is a good idea to clear out the lower rank enemies to get some lower ranked Runes. I had a Orc archer terrorizing me for about 3 hours and after I killed him I got an Epic Rune. This is a work in progress so I will update it as I find more. For Any Epic runes I will name the Orc I killed on the off chance you end up with the same one.

Don’t forget you can break down your extra runes for ability EXP.
