These will not work in mace recipes even though they are listed on the mace page. Hammers: War Hammer, Maul, Great Maul, and Exceptional/Elite versions.

Shield: Any armor that can be used to block, including shields, Necromancer Shrunken Heads, and Paladin Shields.Ĭlubs: Club, Spiked Club, and Exceptional/Elite versions. Helms: Any armor that is worn on the head, including helms, Barbarian Helms, Druid Pelts, and Circlets. Ladders exist only for play, and reset periodically.īody Armor: Any armor that is worn on your chest and not any type of other armor such as boots, helms, gloves, etc. Ladder Only Runewords: Certain Runewords can only be found by Ladder characters.For example, Leaf (Tir + Ral) Runeword – Tir rune should be inserted first, followed by Ral.

Correct order: Runes must be inserted in the order in which they are written.

Number of sockets: There must be an identical number of sockets – if Runeword requires 3 sockets, then 4 or 6 socket things will not work.

And be careful, pay attention to the type of weapon with which Runeword can work – for example, Chaos (Fal + Ohm + Um) Runeword can only be obtained on Claws, with Swords, Maces or any other type of weapon it will not work.

Correct item type: If Runeword is a weapon, then inserting it into a shield or helmet will not work.

You can’t make Runeword out of Magic, Unique or Set. In this case, the item base type (Normal, Exceptional or Elite) can be any, as well as Low Quality, Superior or Ethereal item flags.

Item Quality: Normal quality equipment only (gray text) can be used to create Runewords.
