* +3 to Bone Armor
If you made this recipe with a 2-socket wand that already had +3 to Skeleton Mastery and +2 to Bone Spear, those would add to the bonuses from the RuneWord and you'd have a total of +7 Skeleton Mastery and +4 Bone Spear, along with all the rest. A couple of examples, such as this [[Runewords#Ancients Pledge| Ancient's Pledge ]] made in a Paladin Shield for more resistance, and this [[Leaf| Leaf ]] with huge skill bonuses.
The bonuses don't need to stack, you could make a weapon one like [[Runewords#Silence | Silence]] in an Amazon bow with 6 sockets, and you'd get all the huge Silence bonus as well as +1-3 to Bow Skills from the bow.
==Do superior items keep their bonuses if they become Runic Items?==
They should, but there are some reports of it not working correctly.
What's a "Runic Item"?==
A term for an item with a RuneWord combo in it. Once you get a three-socket shield and stick RalOrtTal into it, you have a Runic Item.
=Are RuneWords better in Superior Items?=
Yes, the bonus to durability or defense or damage from an item being Superior is preserved with the RuneWord bonuses once it becomes a Runic Item.
==Can I make a RuneWord out of a magical or Unique, Set, Rare, Crafted, or Magical items?==
No, items must be normal or superior socketed items, (grey colored-text names) to make a RuneWord from them. You can find or make the socketed items with the socket-adding quest in Act Five. Note that some Uniques and all the items in Griswold's Set have two or more sockets in them as inherent properties, which is why they are included here. Crafted Items and Rare items only ever have one socket, but you couldn't make a RuneWord from them even if they had more.
==Is there any way to take a Rune or Runes out of a socket?==
No, like all other socketing in the game, once a gem or Rune or Jewel is in the socket, it's there forever. Be careful moving things around in your Inventory or Stash.
==Can I make two RuneWords in the same item?==
No, RuneWords can only be made in an item with the exact number of sockets the recipe calls for. If you put 1 or 2 two-rune RuneWord into a 4 socket item, you'll get just the base Rune stats, not one or two RuneWords.
==Can I socket a Runic Item and add another RuneWord to it?==
No, you can't add any sockets to a Runic Item with the socketing quest. There aren't any known RuneWords that create Runic Items with sockets in them, but even if there were, they wouldn't be allowed, same as the Uniques and Set items with two or more sockets now.
