Players can trade in runes of lower value for higher value runes, allowing them to climb the ladder of rune rarity and power. To use the rune exchange, players must first find the Exchange NPC, which is located in the Rogue Encampment. Players can then speak to the NPC and follow the prompts to select the runes they wish to trade in and the runes they want to receive in return.
Players can then speak to the NPC and follow the prompts to select the runes they wish to trade in and the runes they want to receive in return.

(Movie Review) 'The Witch 2,' more gripping, solid action thriller than original
SEOUL, June 8 (Yonhap) -- With more action and a more coherent and solid story to its credit, "The Witch: Part 2. The Other One" is more enjoyable and endearing than the original.
This supernatural action flick broadened the franchise's appeal by telling the backstory of how Ja-yoon (Kim Da-mi), a teenage girl in the first part, was genetically created in a lab to be a child soldier, and introducing a handful of new characters intertwined with one another in the same universe.
Fans will probably hang on now for the release of the final part of the trilogy and more chapters. Although its writer-director Park Hoon-jung initially said he plans to make the series into a trilogy, he recently unveiled a desire to produce as many follow-ups as possible if he can afford to because he has told only a tiny part of the story.

The first film, "The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion," released in 2018, was acclaimed by critics for its smart story, stylish and gripping action, and the magnetic performance by the then relative newcomer Kim. It also made a small box-office success with 3.18 million viewers, drawing plenty of interest in further chapters in this story.
But the sequel does not have Kim among the main cast. It, instead, is led by Ja-yoon's twin sister (novice actress Shin Si-ah) who was also created as part of a secret genetic engineering project code-named "witch." Unlike the original that does not have much witchcraft, the witch in the sequel may be a better fit for the franchise's title since she uses more supernatural powers to repel enemies than Ja-yoon.
The only flaw in Park's otherwise imaginative screenplay for the sequel is the lack of any formidable villains, which results in lessening the thrill in the climax combat sequence.

After the secret lab where the "witch" project is under way in South Korea's southern resort island of Jeju is attacked by a mysterious group of intruders, Ja-yoon's twin sister escapes from the facility as the only survivor.
The teenage subject who does not even have a name runs into Kyung-hi (Park Eun-bin) while running away, and comes to live together with her and her younger brother Dae-gil (Sung Yoo-bin) at a cattle farm and gradually adapts to a normal life with their help.
Being the project's first-ever "perfect" prototype, however, the gifted girl is pursued by three different factions with different purposes. They are Jo-hyun (Seo Eun-soo), a former elite military sniper hired by the company behind the project; Mr. Jang (Lee Jong-suk) in charge of managing the facility; and four gifted assassins dispatched from a Shanghai lab of the international project.

Jo-hyun visits Jeju with her foreign teammate upon a private request from the project's mastermind, Baek Chong-gwal (the twin sister of professor Baek in the first installment), to kill the runaway experimental subject. Cho Min-soo, star of director Kim Ki-duk's award-winning "Pieta," took a double role as the steely professor Baek in the first part and mild-tempered and artistic Baek Chong-gwal in the sequel.
Besides them, Yong-du (Jin Goo), a local thug who is in dispute with Kyung-hi's family over the ownership of the farm, also pursues the teenage girl for money after learning about her formidable supernatural power.
With the first installment, the sequel is likely to earn a place in Korean film history as rare female-fronted action thrillers. But Shin was not as impressive as Seo Eun-soo or the female leader of the four-member Chinese assassin group as far as action is concerned.
The film opens in local theaters next Wednesday.

Players must have enough runes of the required value to make a trade. It is important to note that the rune exchange does not convert between different rune types. For example, players cannot exchange a Shael rune for an Io rune. The exchange is strictly within the same rune type, allowing players to upgrade to runes of higher value within that specific type. The Pd2 rune exchange is a valuable tool for players to acquire the runes they need to improve their gear and achieve their goals in the game. By utilizing this feature, players can strategically trade in their unwanted runes for more powerful ones, enhancing their gameplay experience..
Reviews for "The Future of Pd2 Rune Exchange: Predictions and Speculations"
1. John - ⭐⭐ - The Pd2 rune exchange feature is a huge disappointment. Not only is it time-consuming to collect the required materials, but the exchange rate is completely unreasonable. It feels like a never-ending grind to get a single rune. The developers should have given players a more fair and balanced system to obtain runes. As it stands, this feature only caters to players who are willing to spend a significant amount of time and money in the game. Definitely not worth the effort.
2. Sarah - ⭐ - I can't express how frustrating the Pd2 rune exchange is. The amount of resources needed to get a single rune is outrageous. It's clear that the developers made this feature intentionally difficult to encourage players to spend real money on in-game purchases. Additionally, the drop rates for the required materials are abysmally low, making it almost impossible to progress. I've spent hours grinding for materials and have barely made any progress. I'm extremely disappointed with this feature and would not recommend it to anyone.
3. Mike - ⭐⭐⭐ - The Pd2 rune exchange is a good concept in theory, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The drop rates for the required materials are extremely low, making it a tedious and repetitive process to collect enough to exchange for a rune. Additionally, the exchange rate feels unbalanced, as it takes far too many materials to exchange for just one rune. If the developers could tweak the drop rates and exchange rate to make it more accessible for all players, this feature could be much more enjoyable. However, as it stands, it's a frustrating and time-consuming aspect of the game.
4. Emily - ⭐⭐ - I was excited to try out the Pd2 rune exchange but was quickly disappointed. The amount of grinding required to obtain enough materials is overwhelming. It feels like the developers purposefully made this feature excessively difficult to push players towards making in-app purchases. On top of that, even after spending hours grinding for the required materials, the exchange rate is so poor that it hardly feels worth it. I would not recommend wasting your time with this feature unless the developers make significant changes to make it more player-friendly.
