  • This is why you should take extra care when creating a runeword. Double- and triple-check the object's name is correctlike D2R Ladder Items, for instance, Insight runeword is able to be made in polearms and staves but not spears . Lastly, lay out the runes in the proper sequence before socketing them into the item.

    There are a few specifics when it comes down to weapon and armor to keep track of. "Body armor" includes only items worn on your the torso. General "armor" includes shields, boots, gloves, helms, etc. Hammers will not work in conjunction with maces' runewords. "Melee weapons" don't include weaponry that can be ranged, such as the crossbow and bow. Orbs are also not melee weapons.

    When making runewords for your game, they have variable stats that determine how good of a roll you've made. A well-constructed runeword roll is always worth more than an imperfect roll. Similar to that making sure you use the finest base for a runeword (an item that has sockets) that you can find is highly recommended.

    For instance, if making a runeword for equipping on a mercenary, always choose an Ethereal base. Mercenary equipment and weapons do not suffer from wear and tear Buy D2R Items, so you'll receive an increase in stats due to the Ethereal property and not worry about it breaking. Every little boost to stats is counted for Diablo 2: Resurrected.
