Rune Words

This section lists the Rune Word's name, the item(s) required for the rune word to work, the exact order they are to be placed, and the completed stats. It doesn't matter which slot you put the rune into, just the order that you place them. The item needs to have exactly the same number of sockets as the Rune Word in order for the bonus to work, and it needs to be a non-magic/rare/unique item.

Rune Words will always retain the bonuses of each individual rune, along with the extra Rune Word bonuses. Even if you improperly make a Rune Word, you'll still receive the bonuses from each of the runes.
