Lost Ark has many ways of letting you enhance your character’s power, and one of the best ways to do so is through Skill Runes (or simply, Runes). While there aren’t all too many of these to collect, each individual rune has four separate tiers, with each tier offering more or less power toward the same effect.
The Wealth Rune, while not important to all classes, is quintessential to a few, such as the Shadow Hunter and Summoner. But really, any class with a focus on building its Specialty Meter up will want these bad boys. So, let's look at where you can pick them up so you can get to optimizing your character pronto.

Wealth Runes all have the following effect (with varying percentages depending on quality): “On skill hit, Specialty Meter gain +X percent.”

Stronghold Merchant Tuleu is unlocked by completing a short quest chain. In order to access this quest chain, you must complete Una’s Task “What’s in the Ship?” a total of seven times.
Once accomplished, one of the rewards for reaching the maximum reputation in this task (level three) is Mederiel’s Letter, and that is what begins the quest chain.
