This page lists all weapon runewords.

For runeword lists pertinent to specific weapon types, see:

 * Hammer Runewords
 * Sword Runewords
 * Dagger Runewords
 * Polearm Runewords
 * Bow Runewords
 * Staff Runewords
 * Orb Runewords
 * Wand Runewords
 * Scepter Runewords
 * Claw Runewords

Item Base Requirements
Runewords can only be made in regular items ( ethereal or non-ethereal), and the socket count must be exact. They cannot be made in magic / rare / crafted / unique / set items.

Melee Weapons include all non-ranged weapons except Orbs. Technically, Wands are classified as melee weapons despite their similarities to orbs.

Note that the in-game tooltips can sometimes be incorrect since they refer to weapon "super-types" rather than the "sub-types" that are relevant in most scenarios.


 * Wands/Orbs are not part of the Staff sub-type


 * Scepters are not part of the (Tipped) Mace sub-type
 * Clubs, Tipped Maces, and Hammers are all commonly referred to as Maces, but Clubs/Hammers are not part of the (Tipped) Mace sub-type. To help differentiate the Mace super-type and Mace sub-type, the latter is called "Tipped Maces" instead.
 * Clubs:
 * Club, Cudgel, Truncheon
 * Spiked Club, Barbed Club, Tyrant Club
 * Tipped Maces:
 * Mace, Flanged Mace, Reinforced Mace
 * Morning Star, Jagged Star, Devil Star
 * Flail, Knout, Scourge
 * Hammers:
 * War Hammer, Battle Hammer, Legendary Mallet
 * Maul, War Club, Ogre Maul
 * Great Maul, Martel de Fer, Thunder Maul
