Runewords are combinations of Runes slotted into specific weapons in a particular order. It sounds complicated because, well, it is. There’s a lot to take into account when crafting Runewords, and you will need to learn all of that before you can start crafting them yourself. They’re worth the effort, though; Runewords and D2R Ladder Items are upgrades you apply to your weapons, armor, and other items. They can increase your power exponentially.

You combine Runes to create Runewords, so the first step to applying a Runeword to your gear is finding the correct Runes. You can find Runes throughout Diablo 2; many enemies drop Runes when you kill them, so keep an eye out when taking care of quests and other events.

How to Get Runes for D2R Helm Runewords?

When it comes to acquiring D2 runes for these helm runewords, the Countess is a primary key due to her special rune table, which enables her to drop multiple runes. For example, her standard loot table and Nightmare can drop up to Ko rune, and her special rune table is possibly dropping lo rune, a primary rune for these new helmets. When farming Countess, you want to do so on Player 1 as this keeps her standard loot at a higher no-drop percentage increasing the probability of multiple picks from her special rune table. Basically, assuming that you can complete a Nightmare Countess run in approximately three minutes, we should achieve 20 runs in the hour, securing every rune needed to craft the new 2.6 helm runewords.

Another benefit of Nightmare Countess is that you can get multiple copies of these runes along the way, even getting more than one lo rune, overall, you have an approximate 3.95% chance per run to find a lo rune. If you do not get it, you can also take three Hel runes plus a chipped diamond to craft a lo.

Diablo 2: Resurrected - How to use runes

Crafting runewords is an essential part of the core Diablo 2: Resurrected gameplay if you want to reach the dizzying heights of Hell difficulty. They can be challenging to understand for a beginner and it’s easy to slip up and forfeit your rare runes.

Not only do you need to find the right runes to create your chosen runeword, but you must also make sure you are equipping the runes to the correct item. Some runewords only work in specific weapons or armor. Those pieces must also have the correct amount of sockets. For example, to create Stealth which is Tal + Eth, you need an item with two sockets. No more, no less.

The item you are socketing the runeword into also needs to be of grey or white quality. By this, we mean no magical properties (blue items) and no yellow, gold, or green set items.

Finally, once you have your perfect piece to place your runeword, ensure you place them in the correct order. You only get one chance and if done incorrectly the runes are stuck as they are.

You must be sure you are using the appropriate item for which to place your runeword. Some runewords can only be placed in item categories such as “Body armor” which specifically refers to items worn on your body. A runeword meant for a mace will not work on a hammer. “Melee weapons” does not include bows or crossbows. Orbs are also not melee weapons. The “Insight” runeword only works on polearm weapons.

Runewords when crafted have variable stats that determine their quality, just like any other loot drop. The better a base you use, the higher your chance of the best roll possible.

An example of this would be putting a runeword on your mercenaries equipment. For this, we would always suggest using an Ethereal base. Ethereal bases have improved stats with the drawback being that they cannot be repaired, however, mercenary weapons and armor do not lose durability so you get the best of both worlds. Small tricks like this will boost your power.

Runewords can be equipped on any type of character. They will receive the runeword's bonuses unless otherwise stated. That means you can equip, say, a Beast runeword on a Sorceress and give her the ability to turn into a Werebear. This diversifies builds and gives players plenty of options when it comes to fun playstyles.

In the base Diablo 2, end-game builds revolved around certain unique weapons and armor. Runewords gave players something else to farm for, not only the runes themselves but the perfect pieces in which to fit them. The most coveted runes can also be used as currency in trading for the best items.
