Ort Rune
An Ort Rune is a low tier rune that can be socketed into armor and weapons in Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction and Diablo 2 Resurrected.
An Ort Rune requires level 21 to use. When you socket an item with an Ort Rune, you increase the level requirement to level 21, unless it was already higher.
Ort Runes are mostly wanted for their use in the Spirit runeword and for repairing and recharging weapons.
