This is the complete list of runes available in Diablo 2: Resurrected, their attribute improvements, and what are the best methods and places where you can farm them.

Runes are one of the objects that we will spend the most time farming in Diablo 2: Resurrected. These small stones with magical inscriptions can be inserted into the hooks of different objects to obtain increases in attributes, so they are very useful to become more powerful. And, above all, runes can be combined to create runic words, which are much more useful than using runes independently.

In this entry of our guide we are going to tell you all the details about the Diablo 2 runes, from which ones they exist, what attributes improve and what are the best methods to get them all as easy as possible.

 

All runes and their attributes

Below you can check the 33 types of runes that exist in Diablo 2: Resurrected, their levels of requirements to use and also the attributes that improve if we set them in weapons or pieces of equipment.

Note: we have sorted the runes by their required level, from lowest to highest.

 

Rune Types

It should be mentioned that the runes have been divided into different rarity categories by the community of players, which helps to know their probabilities of obtaining (which will be more or less frequent), as well as the quality of their bonuses and characteristics (which will be higher or lower).

• The most common runes are: EL, ELD, TIR, NEF, ETH, ITH, TAL, RAL, ORT, AMN, SHAEL and THUL
• Uncommon runes are: SOL, DOL, HEL, IO, LUM, KO, FAL, LEM, PUL and UM
• Rare runes are: MAL, IST, GUL, VEX, OHM, LO, SUR, BER, JAH, CHAM and ZOD

As you can already get an idea, the most common runes are considered the most abundant and easy to get. They are also used in some of the formulas of handcrafted objects. The rare ones have a value that varies depending on your bonuses and, finally, the rare runes are the most difficult to find and also the most expensive.
