Ethereal
,→The Zod Rune Bug
=The Zod Rune Bug=
The [http://www.diabloii.net/items/runes/runes.shtml [Runes Alphabetical#zod|Zod Rune ]](#33) makes anything you socket it in indestructible. This is the only way to fix an Ethereal item, and as it would retain the damage or defense bonus from being Ethereal, you'd have an indestructible item with higher than normal stats.
Zod in Ethereal has been bugged several times, and is currently this way again. Inserting a Zod into an Ethereal item with bonus durability will ruin the item, making it drop to 0 durability. However, zod in an etheral item that does not have bonus durability will make the item indestructible.
For example, The [[http://www.diabloii.net/items/uniques/weapons_maces-elite.shtml Unique Maces#baranarsstar|Baranar's Mace ]]has +100 durability, and due to the bug can not be Zod'ed properly. [http://www.diabloii.net/items/uniques/weapons_axes-elite.shtml [Unique Axes#messerschmidtsreaver|Messerschmidt's Reaver]] has +25 durability, and will break if you Zod it. However [http://www.diabloii.net/items/uniques/weapons_axes-elite.shtml [Unique Axes#hellslayer|Hellslayer ]]has no bonus durability, and will therefore become indestructible if you Zod it. The same is true for the [http://www.diabloii.net/items/uniques/armor-body_armor-elite.shtml [Unique Body Armor|Unique elite body armor]<nowiki>]; Gladiator's Bane will break if you Zod it, but Arkaine's Valor will become indestructible.</nowiki>
