Every runeword you can make in body armor in Diablo 2 Resurrected: which runes go in and in what order, the socket count, the level requirement and the complete list of stats. The new runewords added in Reign of the Warlock (RotW) are included.
For what each rune does on its own, how to upgrade runes and where they drop, see the Rune List guide. Other runewords: Weapon Runewords, Shield and Helm Runewords.
1.How to Make a Body Armor Runeword
- The base armor must be normal (white/grey) or Superior quality; magic, rare, set and unique armor cannot become a runeword.
- The number of sockets must exactly match the number of runes: a 3-rune word needs a 3-socket armor, a 4-socket one will not work.
- The runes must go in in the order shown; in any other order the runeword does not form and the runes cannot be taken back.
- The armor's level requirement rises to the runeword's level (the requirement of its highest rune).
- Mercenaries can wear runeword armor; Fortitude and Treachery are popular mercenary choices.
- An Ethereal base gives higher defense but can never be repaired, which is why players usually put ethereal runeword armor on their mercenary.
