Diablo 4 Runes & Runewords

The Runes and Runeword system in Diablo 4, introduced with the “Vessel of Hatred” expansion, is a great way to strengthen your build. Runes are socketable items you can find while playing the game.

There are two main types:

• Runes of Ritual: These set up rules that need to happen to trigger effects.
• Runes of Invocation: These use the rules from Ritual Runes to make a special Invocation effect happen.

To make a runeword, you combine a Rune of Ritual and a Rune of Invocation in an item with two sockets, like a weapon or armor. This gives your gear special bonuses, like faster skill cooldowns, additional stats, or even skills from another class. Each runeword is different, so picking the right one is essential for getting the most for your playstyle.

Here’s how to get runes:

• Farming: They drop across all types of endgame content, but the Tormented Bosses are one of the best ways to farm the runes.
• Crafting: Use runes to craft other runes using Jeweler.
• Trading: Trade with other players through the game’s trading system.

Season 7 has over 40 runes, each giving you different ways to strengthen your build. If you are wondering what are the best runes, feel free to check the Runes & Runewords Tier List prepared by the Maxroll team.
