Which Golden Rune Emblems are the rarest?

Question

Recently some fansites started offering golden rune emblem as a prize in their contests. Of these runes, which are rarest in the game?

Answer 1

What Golden Rune Emblems are very rare?

Golden Rune Emblems were implemented in Summer Update 2010 when Cipsoft decided to stack runes and potions. An unusual amount of charges or overcharged runes were replaced with Golden Rune Emblems. However, the only way to obtain these emblems now is through contests. In the past, some of these runes were also obtainable from the Lightbearer rewards in 2009 or even the 15th Tibia Anniversary raids. If you win a contest and get to pick a Golden Rune Emblem you want to go for the very rare runes I have listed. Have fun collecting!

Very Rare Golden Rune Emblems	Rare Golden Rune Emblems * = Reward from Lightbearer in 2009 + = During the 15th Anniversary raid
Golden Rune Emblem (Wild Growth)	Golden Rune Emblem (Sudden Death)*
Golden Rune Emblem (Ultimate Healing)	Golden Rune Emblem (Holy Missile)*
Golden Rune Emblem (Paralyze)	Golden Rune Emblem (Magic Wall)*
Golden Rune Emblem (Energy Wall)	Golden Rune Emblem (Thunderstorm)*
Golden Rune Emblem (Fire Field)	Golden Rune Emblem (Explosion)*
Golden Rune Emblem (Fire Bomb)	Golden Rune Emblem (Heavy Magic Missile)*
Golden Rune Emblem (Soulfire)	Golden Rune Emblem (Great Fireball)*
Golden Rune Emblem (Energy Bomb)	Golden Rune Emblem (Fireball)*
Golden Rune Emblem (Destroy Field)	Golden Rune Emblem (Icicle)*
Golden Rune Emblem (Desintegrate)	Golden Rune Emblem (Avalanche)*
Golden Rune Emblem (Animate Dead)	Golden Rune Emblem (Chameleon)+
Golden Rune Emblem (Light Magic Missile)
Golden Rune Emblem (Poison Bomb)

To try to narrow down just the 13 emblems in the "Very Rare" category I'm going to answer some questions based on research and my personal opinions-

• What runes might've been unpopular to have high charges before Summer Update 2010?

• What runes are often picked during Fansite contests?

 It's important to note, many players go based on the look of the rune or the history behind the rune. These are the choices I see on TibiaQA Meta of users showing their pictures (Please note, there's not a complete list)-

• What very rare runes were sold or have a seller currently on the market?

(based on the last 30 days which can easily be outdated so I will mention I last updated this on July '22):

World	Rune Emblem
Antica

What are the rarest rune emblems out of 13 in the "very rare" group? Can you narrow the answer?

---

Impossible to tell what's the rarest out of the 13 because we don't have this information, it would only be an assumption on my end. This would be me saying "This rune is widely not chosen amongst players from fansite contests" "This rune I think player had less of before it was considered overcharged" "This rune I see less of" I see contests for fansites and they normally have it where you get a rune emblem for years now. If you'd like I'll be more than happy to tell you my opinion on that, but I don't have the actual numbers so I don't feel so comfortable.

 If you want to know the cost or value of the rune emblems there's another question for that here- https://www.tibiaqa.com/4136/what-is-the-price-of-golden-rune-emblems

Some assumptions, backed up by facts straight from the market analysis and most common contest prize picks. I guess mixing that, would be the most valuable answer for this kind of question.
I'm not going to answer this question myself, as Pepiny Ragoniell pretty much nailed it.

I beg to differ as the Animate Dead rune is always picked from what I see due to its appearance. I see a lot of rune emblem collectors in my world. But in Pacera, we rarely sell any "very rare" Golden Rune Emblem.  We mostly go to other worlds to obtain these emblems, so it varies from server to server. So in the case of Pacera, all very rare emblems are very rare (Except the Paralyze rune I just purchased for 15kk right now which is super cheap, thank you for that and I see the Ligh Magic Missile sold for 30kk past 30 days). But I can see your point with Antica, however a lot of people collect their runes and for me to go to every house, every market, every fansite seems a little over the top. There are many factors, but I can try my best to research and go based on three categories. 1) Uncommon fansite pick 2) Unseen on the market or sold for high 3) What runes might've been rare to have an unusual amount of charges before Summer Update 2010

Answer 2

Well, bit hard to be totally right about it, because there no way to know all GRE over the Tibia, so here is a list with top 5 that I know exist but just saw few of them:

• Light Magic Missile 
• Destroy Field 
• Fire Bomb 
• Fire Field 
• Animated Dead 

Also you can check this topic for more info about GRE price.

i may be wrong but one of the rarest wasnt the paralize rune? i heard was the one more expensive in antica even if was long time ago

---

I would say Paralyze GRE is more expensive for searching than for rarity. For example maybe we could include Poison Bomb is also very rare to see some of them.

---

"The rarest" is not the same as "the most expensive". Golden rune emblem (paralyze) is simply good looking and quite valuable. It's even hard to say if it's really the most expensive, I guess it's not - it usually cost about 30kk, I've seen offers for other rune emblems for much more cc.

In my opinion it is impossible to answer correctly on this question, since there is so many opportunities to win these emblems in different kind of fansites' events, that amount of GRE visibly increases in game year by year.

Just to be clear my list isn't based at their price. Also Im not considering runes that we have no clue that exist.
