Lore runeword

Lore is a Diablo 2 Resurrected runeword created by combining ort + sol into a 2 socket helm. It requires at least level 27 to equip.

Lore is a great early game option, considering the cheap rune cost. It is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to get +1 to All Skills in the helm slot. Besides that, its +2 to Mana After Each Kill can be very handy for early game builds that struggle with Mana regeneration.

Did you know? It takes on average 8.4 countess runs on Nightmare difficulty to get this runeword.
