^ this made me lol
I kinda wish i could have that music play every time we post news of a huge update after months XD.
Feeling lucky... Punk?
One of the new weapons coming with the update, a magic powered gunblade that you can craft by fusing a Fire Rune with a golden sword: http://i.imgur.com/A6ihRu5.png
ah, more evidence for my theory that MUFFIN IS BETTER THAN EVERYONE AT EVERYTHING. also, fire rune and golden sword? that's a really easy to acquire sword and only the fourth level of rune. to make THAT THING? this is insane. but... hmmm... *crafts a nova rune with one of his many diamond swords* *destroys everything* *rules the universe*.
also, you get the next rune by crafting 3 of a rune together? hm. *collects 6507 soldier runes for the above plan*.

Haha well we discovered that it would still be pretty easy to get enough runes because people could just make a shop and say "sell your soldier runes here!" and get 6508 of them in a couple of days lol. So what we are probably going to do is make it so you can only fuse a rune with a weapon that has the previous level rune attached. So for example, you can't fuse a nova rune to a diamond sword and get the legendary weapon. you can only fuse it to a prior solar rune infused weapon. Each weapon also requires vanilla XP to make. This also ensures that each weapon type has a chance at being used instead of people just saving up all their runes until they have enough to make a legendary weapon.

better. for one, that ridiculous gunblade has a cost of 40, instead of 27, and the OP nova rune weapon takes... wait, mathematical error earlier, doing the maths right, it's 6561 to make a nova rune. huh.
anyways, 1 + 3 + 9 + 27 + 81 + 243 + 729 + 2187 + 6561 = 9841. That is a lot of soldier runes
"SELL YOUR SOLDIER RUNES HERE!"
also, how many levels? because I assure you, exp is no challenge to get. I'm currently sitting on 40 levels, they took like an hour to get and getting levels when you have over 30 levels takes a lot more exp.

hmm we haven't put to much thought into the numbers for levels yet; perhaps you guys can help us with that. what is the level limit? lvl 30 used to be hard to get but i know mojang changed a lot of vanilla leveling mechanics
What we will probably do (not sure yet) is the amount of levels it requires to merge a rune will increase for each next level of rune. Soldier runes may cost 0 - 10 XP to fuse with a weapon just so it's easy for new players to get the hang of it.

It's not that the level mechanics became particularly easy, it's the pigmen in slums. If you're good at taking advantage of the mob gates, they're extremely easy to farm exp from.
well since we are moving slums we dont need those gates anymore. what levels do you think are fair if you don't have those gates?
hmm, I don't know... there are several other ways to get exp, but they're all considerably harder, and slower. And I don't know exactly how powerful these rune weapons are. This is a feature that definitely needs lots of balancing to get right.
holy crap what rune is that supposed to be made with? damn it looks awesome. also, so many new textures, I've found 6 textures currently, 5 swords plus the staff. the diamond swords, stone sword and wood axe are the ones used to showcase the new textures. These are amazing.
(actually, is that sword shown by neo the life sword? it's pink and white, if you look at it in good light, so that makes sense. I'm curious, because I was actually thinking about suggesting This Weapon to base the blood sword on, and was hoping that one hadn't been designed yet.)

I think it was the gold sword texture, I'm not sure.

It was the wood axe that had the texture you showed. The diamond sword and stone sword are also being used to show off the textures of the ew weapons. And I wasn't asking what weapon it was, I was asking what rune would be used to make that weapon.
