Spirea's Diablo II Resource

Items

In this section, I attempt to list basic item information.
These will be based on the lastest patch available.

Runes

Runes are new types of items in the Diablo II expansion pack.
They can be placed into sockets, very much like gems.
However, when placed correctly into sockets, some sequence of Runes may spell out Rune words that gives added abilities beyond those shown on the Runes.

Some items not mentioned in this section are

Throwing Potions

They do damage to enemies.

Jewels

Jewels are items with magical properties that can be placed into sockets.
However, jewels differ from gems and runes in that they give the same properties when inserted into any items.

Charms

Charms are items that gives extra bonus, without having to be equipped.
They give the enchanted attributes when they are placed in a character's inventory.
They have to be identified of course.
They do not give the enchanted attributes when they are placed in the stash, or the Horadric Cube (even if the Cube is in the inventory).
