An equipment base that can have different qualities and properties.
Builds & value
What this item is for
An equipment base: Sword. Its quality and bonuses depend on the version you find.
- Can have up to 3 sockets. A runeword needs exactly the right number of sockets in a non-magic base.
- Socket limits by item level: 3 at levels 1–25, 3 at 26–40, and 3 at 41+. Item level depends on where it dropped; it is not the required character level.
- The list below checks the base type and maximum sockets. Check the sockets on your actual item and the runeword’s game-mode requirements before using runes.
- Base requirements: 71 strength and 45 dexterity. Bonuses and ethereal status can change the requirements.
Trading interest: Depends on sockets and bonuses
For runeword bases, compare the exact socket count, base type and ethereal status. Magic and rare versions need a separate check of their bonuses.
This is a rough guide, not a live price. Compare recent trades for your ladder or non-ladder mode, platform, Hardcore setting, and item rolls.
