Diablo 2 runewords are special combinations of runes that can be inserted into socketed weapons to give them additional bonuses and properties. Each runeword consists of a specific set of runes in a specific order, and when the runes are inserted into the correct sockets of a socketed weapon, the runeword’s properties are activated.
There are many different runewords in Diablo II, and each one provides a unique set of bonuses. Some examples of runewords weapons include:
- ‘Breath of the Dying’ is a sword runeword that gives increased damage, life leech, and a chance to cast level 30 Vengeance when striking.
- ‘Call to Arms’ is an amazon spear or polearm runeword that gives increased attack rating, damage, and chance to cast level 5 Battle Cry when striking.
- ‘Enigma’ is a body armor runeword that gives increased teleport speed, strength, and vitality, and reduces the requirements of equipped items.
- ‘Fury’ is a war hammer runeword that gives increased damage, attack rating, and chance to cast level 15 Berserk when striking.
- ‘Grief’ is a two-handed sword runeword that gives increased damage, attack rating, and chance to cast level 15 Decrepify when striking.
Keep in mind that to create a runeword, you must have the correct runes in the correct quantity, and the item must be socketed. Moreover, some runewords can only be used on specific types of equipment or specific characters class.
