Changes

The Most of the most powerful weapons and armor in the game are runewords, though they can be difficult to obtain, since the powerful ones require very scarce, high level runes. In addition to the runes, a suitable item must be found to create the runeword in. It makes no sense to create a high damage runeword in a weapon with a low base damage, so expert players search long and hard for just the right item with just the right number of sockets, while working to store up the runes they'll need to fill them.Runewords offer all the individual bonuses of all the runes used, and in addition usually add several other bonuses. For example, any runeword containing the rune "Zod" will have the indestructible trait, along with other bonuses of the particular runeword. Runeword items may also be reset to the original unsocketed item state via a cube recipe (Runeword + Hel rune + scroll of town portal) removing all the runes, and destroying the runes in the process. Once a rune is placed into an item, it is impossible to get it back, so it is best to make sure the runes are placed in the right order, and the right weapon/armor class is used.
