List of all Weapon runewords
How to make a runeword
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 runewords 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 Axes, Hammers, Clubs, Maces, and Scepters. The Staff Class is split in Staves, Wands, and Orbs.
- Weapon: every weapon is allowed
- Melee Weapon: only melee weapons are allowed
- Axe: includes both one-handed and two-handed weapons of the Axe Class, surprisingly this also includes the War Spike, but doesn't include Polearms like the (Great) Poleaxe, Lochaber Axe, or Ogre Axe
- Hammer: includes only the Hammers of the Mace Class, War Hammer, Maul, and Great Maul
- Club: includes only the Clubs of the Mace Class, Club, Spiked Club
- Mace: includes only the Maces of the Mace Class, Mace, Morning Star, and Flail
- Scepter: includes only the Scepters of the Mace Class, Scepter, Grand Scepter, and War Scepter
- Claw: includes all weapons of the Claw Class
- Sword: includes all one-handed and two-handed weapons of the Sword Class
- Polearm: includes all weapons of the Polearm Class, note that this doesn't include Spears
- Spear: includes all weapons of the Spear Class, note that this doesn't count as a Polearm
- Staff: includes only the Staves of the Staff Class, note that this doesn't include Orbs or Wands
- Wand: includes only the Wands of the Staff Class, note that this doesn't include Orbs or Staves
