The correct order of runes inserted into the right socketed item will provide the player with exceptionally enhanced attributes that make it a must-have for your arsenal.

The Magic of Runewords

Runes add some exciting magic to your the Diablo game play to make it more exhilarating than ever before. Runewords are a unique item that is created when runes are combined with socketed items. With the right collection and order of runes, you can create powerful runewords that provide bonus skills which are uncharacteristic for your class of character.

An example is the Enigma runeword which gives your character the ability to teleport. Other useful attributes gained by runewords include: Battle Orders from Call to Arms, Conviction Aura from Infinity etc.

Rune words were introduced in the expansion of Diablo II called Diablo II Lord of Destruction and cannot be created in older versions. Some enhanced capabilities and powerful runes are only applicable on latest patches of Diablo II LOD.

 

What You Need to Know About Runewords?

For a runeword to be created, you need a socketed item that does not classify as a unique, set, rare or magic item. Another requirement is for the socketed item to have the exact number of sockets needed by that particular runeword.


These conditions are crucial in order to create an effective runeword. In the case that these conditions are not met, the runes might be wasted as the added runeword bonus will not apply to this item.
