What are Runewords in Diablo 4?
As mentioned earlier, some Diablo fans might remember the Runeword system from the second installment of the game. This feature offers a nostalgic yet fresh gameplay experience.
In Patch 2.0, players can craft their own spells using Runes of Ritual and Runes of Invocation. The Ritual Rune sets the action needed to activate the Runeword, while the Invocation Rune defines the resulting effect.
- Runes come in three rarities: Magic, Rare, and Legendary.
The Runewords will work with an Offering system. Runes of Ritual will generate Offering when their specific conditions are met by the player. Meanwhile, Runes of Invocation consume Offering to trigger their effects.
If you generate more Offering than needed, a mechanic called Overflow will be triggered. Many Runes of Invocation have enhanced effects when excess Offering is used, which will boost their power.
To create a Runeword, you need to put both a Rune of Ritual and a Rune of Invocation into an item with two sockets, such as Chest, Leg, and Two-Handed weapon slots. The Helm slot now also has an additional socket, which means it will be available to use for Runewords. The combination of Runes of Ritual and Invocation is completely up to you!
- How to Get Runes?: Get them as a monster drop.
- When will Runes be available in Diablo 4?: After September 6.
