Long Rune

The long rune is a considerably worthless but necessary rune in Starhunters.

In-Game Description
"A rather weak rune for beginning runers. It slightly boosts projectile range."

Tactics
Many consider the long rune a worthless rune, despite its application required for gaining access to other higher-tier runes. The only real effect that changing projectile range causes is, ultimately, affect how much farther it will fly and straighten its arch. Though this will help later on, people generally just apply this rune for the sake of better rune access.

Location
The long rune can be applied by virtually every NPC on any weapon with said requirements, and all NPCs that know it will always be willing to teach it (unless the Player has significant infamy against that NPC race).
