Runes are an integral part of Diablo 2 Resurrected and are often a critical component to acquiring the best in slot items for various Runewords. For experienced players, ‘high runes’ are typically used as the common ‘currency’ for higher-priced items.
Runes can be combined together with a gem to be upgraded to the next-tier rune. Each rune offers unique stats when socketed into weapons or armor, and when combined with the right recipe can create specific Runewords.
There are a total of 33 runes in Diablo 2 Resurrected ranging in rarity, with El being the easiest to find and Zod being the rarest. It’s important to keep in mind that while Zod might be the rarest, it doesn’t necessarily make it the most valuable.
