I’ve wanted to make a Rune Level 1 guide ever since I started making build guides. Instead of choosing a specific build and making a follow-along guide for it, I decided to make 22 different builds to showcase what is possible on RL1 and allow you to pick what suits you.
This run was made using multiple characters, save files and dropping myself extra smithing stones for upgrades.
