Aye, if that was the case, but they were not blessed in this era, they became blessed in error afterwards, but I don't know the details of that.

On OSI, Runebooks after the CUB were only blessed by those who obtained a Item Bless deed from the CUB, we did not give out item bless deeds in the CUB, but replaced them with Clothing Bless Deeds

I was able to directly target and steal a runebook yesterday. I think if a runebook has charges, it weighs a bit to compensate for the recall scrolls that should be in it's place. I think it had 7 charges and weighed 3 stones, so I was able to actually target it and steal it. I don't know if this is era accurate or not.

I was around during the original T2A and I remember you only had a "hunting" runebook with a few runes in it... main runebooks inthe bank and always make copies in case you die and lose yours

I don't understand why people keep saying things thing "WELL THEY ENDED UP BEING BLESSED LATER ON SO THEY SHOULD BE HERE TOO!"
If I am not mistaken, the point of this shard is to be era accurate.. not era accurate + whatever later updates came along that people think we should have.
If there was a guard that would kill you no matter where you were in the shard ( town or not ) when you said "pickles" during T2A - UO Second Age would have it.. no matter how much it sucked.. or if it was patched in later era's.

I remember that guard, you could kill it if you had enough people. He dropped a special castle deed that could be placed anywhere and would displace any existing houses in its way.

Both my spell-book and rune-book do not say that they are blessed. A PK took my rune-book today because I assumed that my rune-book was just as blessed as my non-blesses blessed magic-book. If an item is blessed is there any good reason why it doesn't say so? It would eliminate a lot of guess work.

I'm sorry for this misfortune. Spellbooks did not have the [blessed] tag in era like other items which may have been blessed after the advent of Item Bless Deeds after our timeframe.

Runebooks are not blessed at all, as they were introduced that way in era. It was possible to bless them with an item bless deed, but that came after our target timeframe.

After 6 pages of back and forth and the wonderful title of this thread. I am going to believe WITHOUT a doubt that runebooks will never ever be blessed!
