What you need to know
- On August 29 Blizzard held a ‘Campfire Chat’ to discuss huge changes coming to Diablo 4 in Patch 2.0.
- Patch 2.0, which drops with the Vessel of Hatred expansion on October 8, will add Runewords to the game, a feature returning from the classic Diablo 2.
- Fans have been celebrating the announcement. Based on the patch notes, they have already figured out all of the possible combinations of Runewords.
As a hardcore Diablo fan who has been playing since the early days of Diablo 2, I can confidently say that the announcement of Runewords coming back to Diablo 4 with Patch 2.0 and Vessel of Hatred expansion has me absolutely thrilled! It’s like reliving my youth all over again, but with better graphics and gameplay mechanics.
The upcoming expansion for Diablo 4, titled “Vessel of Hatred,” is set to release on October 8. However, this expansion isn’t just about extending the game with a new storyline. In fact, developers have recently shared a wealth of new details with the gaming community. This includes an increased level cap, new difficulty levels, and the return of Runewords, a feature last seen in Diablo franchise back in Diablo 2: Resurrected.
How will Runes and Runewords work in Diablo 4?
In the upcoming Vessel of Hatred expansion, Runewords will be an exclusive feature for players who choose to expand their game. This mirrors the strategy used when Diablo 2 introduced the Lord of Destruction expansion, which first brought Runewords into the game.
- Runes of Ritual – specify an action you must take to trigger
- Runes of Invocation – grant a powerful effect when you meet above trigger
Wearing an item adorned with both Bac and Jah Runes results in a BacJah Runeword. This also means that your character will produce 50 Offerings for every 5 meters they move. Once they’ve amassed at least 500 Offerings, their next Evade action will be replaced by the Sorcerer’s Teleport ability.
What is Offering?
In the system of Runes, Offerings are generated by Rune of Ritual when specific conditions are fulfilled. These Offerings are then utilized by Rune of Invocation to activate their effects. The tougher the condition for a Rune of Ritual, the more Offerings it yields. On the other hand, the stronger the impact of a Rune of Invocation, the more Offerings it requires to function.
At times, you could end up supplying more Offerings than required to trigger an Invocation Rune. In such cases, the excess Offerings serve to amplify the effects of multiple Invocation Runes momentarily.
To create a Runeword, you’ll need to insert a Rune of Ritual and a Rune of Invocation into an item that has two open spaces, such as those found in Chest, Leg, Weapon (Two-Handed), or Helm slots. Since the Helm slot now contains an additional space, it too can accommodate a Runeword. Any Rune of Ritual can be paired with any Rune of Invocation. Runes are available in three different qualities: Magic, Rare, and Legendary, with higher qualities delivering more potent effects.
What are all the Runes in Diablo 4?
- Runes are tradeable, stack and will be stored in a new socketable inventory tab.
- A maximum of 2 Runewords can be equipped (4 Runes total).
- The same Rune cannot be equipped twice.
We’ll be able to craft Runes from unwanted Runes
By utilizing three identical Runes, you can create a brand new Rune. When applying this method with common Runes (not Legendary), there’s an opportunity for the resulting Rune to be of a higher rarity.
- 1 Resplendent Spark
- 10 Legendary Runes of a specific name
- 10 Rare Runes of a specific name
- 10 Magic Runes of a specific name
What skills can I make with Runewords
In essence, the community has meticulously created numerous lists detailing the various skills that can be crafted by combining these Runes. If you’re eagerly anticipating the launch of Vessel of Hatred and want to engage in some strategic planning, there’s an extensive database available at Diablo4.life where you can filter combinations using Magic, Rare, or Legendary Runes. Although there are numerous potential combinations, a few examples have been provided below:
As time passes, it remains to be seen which of these numerous combinations will prove useful in Diablo 4, as certain items tend to excel and become staples in gameplay, known as the meta. From September 6 to 11, the Patch 2.0 Public Test Realm (PTR) will be accessible for all Diablo 4 players on Battle.net, allowing them to test its features. The PTR is divided into two phases: between September 4 and 6, it focuses exclusively on character leveling and progression testing.
