| Rune Facts | |
 | Runes can be found in Diablo II Expansion games. |
| Runes can be inserted in socketed items to give the item magical properties. |
| Certain combinations of Runes, when inserted into an item in the correct sequence to create a Rune Word, give the item additional magic properties. |
| Mercenaries can wear RuneWord Items and get the benefits as well. |
| The most common runes can be upgraded to the next higher rune. Combine three of the same Runes in the cube; this only works for Runes: El, Eld, Tir, Nef, Eth, Ith, Tal, Ral, Ort. |
| Some of the runes can be updated using Horadric Cube recipes. Check the Horadric Cube Recipe Page for details |
| The ongoing debate of How Many El's are in a Zod rages on (and finally gets it's own page!) | |
