This experimental Black Codex Rune Exchange Merchant was only ever installed in Wailing Fjord at Muckgale Port.
Explanation as it appears in-game:
<<About the Rune Exchange>>
The Rune Exchange can process weapons of level 3 rarity (Rare). You must place at least 3 items in the device to use it.
Relationship between equipment level and rune tier:
Level 31-50: Tier IV Runes
Level 51-80: Tier V Runes
Level 81-100: Tier VI RunesRelationship between the number of items and runes:
3 equipment items: 1 Rune
4 equipment items: 1 Rune andRune Bag ×1
5 equipment items: 1 Rune andRune Bags ×2
6 equipment items: 2 Runes andRune Bag ×1
The weapons and equipment used will disappear forever, so please be careful.

The following Black Codex merchants will offer to help you convert equipment to runes:

What It Means[ | ]
Anyone that can farm an instance, or better yet solo farm one, will collect a LOT of Rare Items that are of no use to you. Since they are all BOUND you have to use a ABL to auction it, or sell it to a vendor. Now you have another option. You can exchange 3-6 items for some items you may actually be able to use.
Our guess is that this proved wildly unpopular. As a result, Runewaker never put another Ancient Rune Exchange merchant in any further zones.
