Hey there!
If you start a new Char you´ll get a handful of stuff that´s correct like some runes!

Also here are some Infos about it. ->
runes question
And with the older Chars you also can drop (up to Epic iirc) permanent items in Astral runs.
So if you´re not really "upset" about not playing it actively then you can create a new one and get those items when you turn max lvl.
Greetings!
