| Rune Words | |
 |
By inserting the correct Runes in the correct order into a specific type of item with the correct number of sockets, it is possible to create a Rune Word Item. |
|
As of the 1.09 patch, Blizzard has said that Rune Words will work both on and off realms, in single or multiplayer games. |
|
Rune Word items can be personalized using the "Rescue Anya Quest" reward in Act 5. |
|
You will still receive all of the magical bonuses that were already on each Rune used. |
|
Each Rune Word has a character level requirement, so make sure your character is at the required level, before you create a Rune Word item and then discover that you can't use it. |
|
Be careful when using Rune Words formula with Maces. Not all Mace-class weapons can be used. Only Maces, Morning Stars, Flails, and their exceptional and elite versions can be used in Rune Word formulae. |
|
Be careful when using Rune Words formula with the runes Io and Lo.....make sure you use the right rune. |
|
BTW, Rune Words will not work with Wirts Leg. |
|
Some 1.10 Rune Words allow players to use skills from another class. |
|
The definitions of Item Types for Rune Word items are:
