Weapons selected for runewords are almost always chosen for their damage. Elite weapons of whatever type a character uses best, based on the str/dex requirements, attack speed, range, etc. Ethereal items are the best choices for runewords to be equipped on Mercs, or ones involving the Zod rune. Bowazons generally want to use their class specific bows for the +Bow skill tree bonuses.

To Make a Runeword

Items used for Runewords must be gray text items, normal, exceptional, or Elite. Low Quality, Superior, and Ethereal can be used, but you can not use magical, Rare, Set, Crafted, or Unique items, even if they have the correct number of sockets.
The item must be of the correct type.
The item must have exactly the correct number of sockets -- no more.
You must socket the Runes in the correct order.

Notes:

The Runes fill the sockets in numerical order automatically, i.e. in the order 1, 2, 3, .... For example, trying to place the third Rune of a Runeword into the third socket while sockets 1 and 2 are empty will result in the Rune filling socket 1, contrary to intentions. As mentioned elsewhere, it is possible to remove an item from a socket, but the item is destroyed in the process.
The Runeword Preparation Recipes tune equipment for receiving Runewords.
Check the Rune FAQ for further help.

Weapon Types

Weapons are divided into various sub-categories by runewords. Be sure you're using a type of weapon that will work with that runeword.

Maces

Some runewords work in all weapons, or all melee weapons, or all ranged weapons (bows/xbows). Others are more specific. "Maces" is a term used in the game, but it's deceptive since it only applies to some blunt weapons. The Mace, Morning Star, Flail, and Exceptional/Elite versions of those items are "maces." "Clubs" and "Hammers" are different, when it comes to runeword eligibility, and the Club, Spiked Club, War Hammer, Mauls, and Great Maul, or the excep/elite versions of those weapons will not work with "mace" runewords. Nor will any type of scepter.
