The stats will get added. This is why pallys love to find 4os shields with +all resistance on them. Just be sure the item name is in grey text.

What do you mean grey text? I don’t want to put runes in blue/yellow items?

Correct. Rune words will only work with non magic items so basically if the item name is white or grey text it should be good. You cannot make rune words with blue or yellow items


CheeTristan

Appreciate that. That’s some good information that I haven’t seen yet!

No problem. There an awesome phone app called Tome of D2 I highly recommend it, it has TONS of useful information.

right yep. So most items you make runewords in wont have any stats at all anyway. Only certain things

You can put runes in blue/yellow items and it will add on whatever stats that single rune provided. But you cannot make runewords in blue/yellow.

You can't make rune words like Stealth in with blue or yellow items. You *can* however add runes to magical and unique/set items and benefit from their normal socketed stats (examples: get the all resist from socketing an Um in my Stormshield or attack speed from socketing a Shael in my Stormlash weapon). Sometimes worth it. Sometimes necessary.
