Elements are used to upgrade runes. They can only be used on blue runes (or Rune of Speed Sid of any colour). Runes can be upgraded from stage I to stage VI, with each stage its stats will improve.
Runes that are not embedded in armour cannot be upgraded. To use an element click on it in your backpack and in the dialogue box choose the item you want to improve. If the item is equipped, it will not appear on the list.
Every element used on the rune will improve the rune towards the next stage. A message in chat will appear informing about the percentage of upgrade:
When the rune is upgraded to the next stage, a different message will appear:
Current rune improvement is also shown in the item’s description:
How much each element will improve the rune is determined by luck, but it also depends on the rune's stage. There are three possibilities for each stage:

To upgrade Rune of Speed Sid (regardless of its colour) only one element is needed for each stage. Elements for this rune can be obtained by completing the Sid Speed Element collection. You can receive pieces of that collection when buying red two-handed or main weapons at the Trade Fair.
Upgrading Gor Rune of Capacity also requires fewer elements (maximum number of elements for each stage is 2, 4, 10, 16 and 25). Those elements can be acquired in the Professional Shop in Guild of Artisans.
Elements for bows and quivers can be bought at the Trade Fair and all other elements for weapons and armour are made by jewellers.
