Weapons: Melee Weapons, Missile Weapons, Orbs. Melee Weapons: Hand-to-Hand, Blunt, Combo Weapon, Polearm, Spear, Knife, Sword, Axe. Sorceress Orbs are not considered Melee Weapons. A Bow or Crossbow is a ranged weapon and is not in this category. Melee Weapons: Most weapons that arenвЂ™t ranged such as a Sword or Hammer. They are not вЂњmacesвЂќ in the case of Runewords.

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 вЂ“ 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 вЂ“ 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 canвЂ™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.Characters are abbreviated to their first letters, with Amazon = Am and Assassin = As.Things to remember when creating a Runeword: This speed is mostly meaningless and is included for completeness only. Swing Speed: The speed shown in-game for each character using this melee weapon.0 is the base -10, -20, etc is faster, 10, 20, etc is slower. Weapon Speed (WSM): A relative comparison to other weapons of the same type.Most weapons have 100 str, which gives 100/100 or an additional 1% weapon damage per point in str. For example a damage bonus of 70 is 70/100 or and additional. Each point in this statistic multiplies your damage by bonus/100В %. Dmg Bonus: This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage.Range: Goes from 1 (least) to 5 (most), and is identical for all melee weapon types.No uniques had Clvl requirements prior to v1.07 Diablo II. Clvl Req: A character or mercenary must be this level to equip the item.Ilvl is used in gambling, sales and other calculations as well. Item Level: Monsters must be of this level to drop a particular item.The odds of gambling Unique Wands is 1 in 2000.All blunt weapons (including wands) have +50% Damage vs Undead.

You cannot gamble for wands, they must be found.

The Sorc-only Orbs should be more useful than wands though, so likely youвЂ™ll see only Necromancers using wands after a short time in the Expansion. Sorceresses use them as well in Diablo II, in order to have a one-handed weapon and a shield, and bonuses such as +mana and faster cast are useful for a Sorceress as well as a Necromancer. Wands are not class-specific, but they are most appropriate for Necromancers.
