List of All Weapon Runewords
How to make Weapon Runewords
Most weapon Runeword bases are chosen for the high damage. Therefore, elite weapons with high attack speed are often chosen. Ethereal bases should always be preferred for Indestructible Runeword like Breath of the Dying or Death.
Determining the correct weapon type for a Runeword is not easy or straightforward, because the game doesn't always use the same terminology for item classes on items as it does for Runewords.
For example the Mace Class is split in Hammers, Clubs, Maces, and Scepters. The Staff Class is split in Staves, Wands, and Orbs.
