My Mine a Mountain Runes Tier List doesn’t just rank each Rune from best to worst; it also goes over how to get Runes and how to merge them. For certain Runes, you’ll have to break specific Boulders, which require a stronger pickaxe in Mine a Mountain.

How to Get Runes
To get Runes, you need to break Boulders. The most important thing to remember is that Runes are temporary and will disappear once used, lasting only as long as the timer. However, this doesn’t count if you go offline while the timer is running down; instead, it pauses until you log back in. The same goes if you pick up the Rune while it’s active, which also pauses the timer until you place it back on your plot.
Luckily, you can keep track of the timers for each of your Runes in the Events Bar even if you’re away from your plot, mid-climb. Though, if you’re at your plot, you can hover your mouse over the active Runes to check the remaining duration of the timers, too.
