Water or Earth Rune pieces?

i was wondering which is better water or earth rune pieces, because they are the only ones you can get for your entire army.

I know water heals 5 per piece, but what does earth do?

+5 to defence

i find Water more useful because most likely, your character usually has decent defense already and as you go along, you probably want to save healing spells/items until you reach the boss. with Water Rune Pieces, healing at the beginning of every single turn will keep that character's life full throughout an entire dungeon (well, you probably need more than 1 or 3), even if he/she took a beating in the beginning and had to level up a lot.

secondly, it's a MUCH more common drop than the Earth Rune Piece.

I have a question concerning Water Rune Pieces. Do they heal outside of battle as well, like Sunbeam Runes do?

They only heal in battle.

There is no air rune pieces.

He meant Wind rune pieces, I think. They add wind to weapon attack. By the way Earth rune pieces don't add 5 to defense, they add earth to weapon attack. If I'm wrong about that, there is an error on this site.

I'm pretty sure Wind is +3 to DEF, Earth is +2 to SKL.

errr.. i thought both added to DEF, but earth was 5 and wind 3

and i don't see any "wind effect" like i do with fire and lightning, so i don't think it has any offensive value.

Well, I loaded and tested, and that's what I got.

Wind +3 DEF
Earth +2 SKL

There is two errors in the S1 section then.

Well, there are plenty of minor errors on the main site, but that's neither here nor there.

I also thought Earth added +5 Def., but my game disagrees with me.

I like water une peices the best. i find a spot at mt. tigerwolf and jam the controler and use a turbo button, there are groups of three killer slime enemies that drop water rune peices you can put 9 peices on a weapon

I thought that Earth piece add a defense of +10 and heals 5 HP?

And I thought u can only attach 4 rune pieces at a time. I haven't played this game in a very long time so i dont remember it quite well.But I'm pretty sure about this.
