📋 About This Mod
Runed Set and Unique Items
This mod allows you to inscribe a weakened version of any runeword onto any unique or set item with the correct base, opening up way to hybrid builds that never existed before. What's most interesting is that the mod encourages you to search for both high-end runes and unique items.
Items enhanced this way receive a unique tag “Runename” fully localized into all official D2R languages. New properties will be added to the existing properties on the item.
✨ How to use mod:
To inscribe a runeword, simply place the item together with the required runes into the Horadric Cube and transmutate.
All runeword combinations supported by this mod are listed in the Changelog section on the mod page. Make sure to check it.
So far, I think the mod is quite capable of compensating the weaknesses of physical and staffs builds.
📖 Major changes from reference mod and features:
-
[]No longer turns off old Runeword system
[
]Mod has been fixed and no longer causes crashes. An empty "throw" property is used, making the mod compatible with other mods and game updates. Unfortunately, I had to remove unique names for runewords.[]Checkboxes for uni and set variants
[]Works only for sets and uniques as I planned in the first place
[]This version of the mod only adds cube "runed" recipes
[]Mosaic is nerfed to 33% not consume charges
[]Infinity works with Staffs, Crescent Moon with spears
[]Insight now can be applied to any weapon
[]As a game considers Throwing Axes, Knifes and Javelins as Axe, Knife and Spear, you can apply specific runewords to them
[]Old bugs were fixed, new ones were added
⚠️ Knows issues:-
[]Update from versions before 1. 23 will course crash, clear all runed items in mods like Horadric Forging or throw them away
[
]When wearing a set, there is a high probability that new properties will be added to the set properties instead of the basic ones. Remove all set items from hero and relogin before transmutation - The game engine allows adding only five item modifiers at a time, and one of those slots is already used by the “Runename” marker. More properties is not planned
Installation: place in D2RMM /mods, load order is no longer matters, uninstall is safe now
