This page lists all weapon runewords.

For runeword lists pertinent to specific weapon types, see:
 * Axe Runewords
 * Mace Runewords
 * Club Runewords
 * Tipped Mace Runewords
 * 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, and the socket count must be exact. They cannot be made in items whose rarity is magic or higher.

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
