Duplicate rune obtained (Rare Galewind), could not be destroyed - only added to skills

I’ve received 2 of these during my playthrough most likely because I did not add the 1st one to my skills immediately.

The game itself says it treats the runes of the same rarity as unique: does not allow more than 1 instance of each kind, and does not drop the 2nd rune of the same kind, or at least it worked that way with any other rune.

I could not drop the duplicate Rare Galewind, nor sell. The only option available was to “consume” the rune so it won’t take space in my storage - unfortunately this created a 2nd instance of Rare Galewind. (I could have however created a new character, pass it on to him and then delete. Sadly, it occurred to me much later after I already added the 2nd instance of the rune to my skills.)

Please fix. Having 2 8% Galewinds is not intended, feels like cheating, and is giving me a slight OCD…

It is intended. Some skill builds require you to have multiple of the same runes on skills.

If you open your Codex (alt+D), under Character Growth > Skill Rune you can see every rune in the game and how to get them. There are duplicates of many of them, including rare (and epic) Galewind. This is working as intended.

I stand corrected. Thank you everyone for clarification! One less worry for me.
