Runes » Original Runewords in Diablo II.
Runes are exactly 33. Each one of them has different specification and requirements. The Runes are items which can be gained after killing a monster/opening a stash or basket, but can not be bought from NPCs. They are very rare, because "Better chance of getting Magic Items" does not include them.
Runes in with numbers, as follows: El, Eld, Tir, Nef, Eth, Ith, Tal, Ral, Ort, Thul, Amn, Sol, Shael, Dol, Hel, Io, Lum, Ko, Fal, Lem, Pul, Um, Mal, Ist, Gul, Vex, Ohm, Lo, Sur, Ber, Jah, Cham, Zod
