If you look at the list of all runes, you can find out the cube recipes to create a rune of one level higher than Eth. Here are the Eth attributes:

Rank: (r5)
Weapon: -25% Target Defense
Armor/Helm/Shield: Regenerate Mana 15%
Ilvl/Clvl Required: 15


The Right Runes[edit]

Look at the rune list for information on how to get the right runes. For weapons you'll want to find the best type of weapon possible, since that's what the bonus damage is based on. Same with Armor if you are after Defense and shields for blocking percentage. If defense isn't important, look for an item that looks good, has low requirements, and for armor and shields, is not going to slow your running speed.


To Make a Runeword[edit]

  1. 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.
  2. The item must be of the correct type.
  3. The item must have exactly the correct number of sockets -- no more.
  4. 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.

Crafted Items with Eth[edit]

Ingredients Crafted Item Comments
Blood Boots
Magical Light Plated Boots
or Battle Boots (Excep)
or Mirrored Boots (Elite)
+ Jewel (any)
+ Eth Rune (#5)
+ Perfect Ruby
Blood Boots
Preset Mods:
1-3% Life Leech
+10-20 Hit Points
+5-10 Life Regeneration
Potentially very useful boots, though you'd probably have to roll quite a few of them to get the faster run and resistance most characters demand from footwear. The boots are easily-obtained, and so are Eths, so this is almost a free recipe to run.
Caster Shield
Magical Small Shield
or Round Shield (Excep)
or Luna (Elite)
+ Jewel (any)
+ Eth Rune (#5)
+ Perfect Amethyst
Caster Shield
Preset Mods:
+4-10% Regenerate Mana
+10-20 Mana
+5-10 Blocking Percentage
Only the mana regeneration was altered in v1.09, and this now works only with a small shield.
Hitpower Shield
Magical Gothic Shield
or Ancient (Excep)
or Ward (Elite)
+ Jewel (any)
+ Eth Rune (#5)
+ Perfect Sapphire
Hitpower Shield
Preset Mods:
5% chance of casting Slvl 4 Frost Nova when hit
Attacker takes 3-10 damage
+5-10% Blocking
Safety Armor
Magical Breast Plate
or Curiass (Excep)
or Great Hauberk (Elite)
+ Jewel (any)
+ Eth Rune (#5)
+ Perfect Emerald
Safety Body
Preset Mods:
Reduces Damage 3-9
Reduces Magic Damage 2-5
Half Freeze Duration
Increased Defense 10-30%
Nice for a character who don't need big Defense or resistances on Armor, though the damage reductions are so small in v1.09 that it's pretty lame now.
