NEW RUNEWORD

[IKKE]

Wanted to do ETHETH shield voor low lvl char
accidently did EThlum :D

@IKKE:
I seriously doubt that you're the one who discovered this runeword, considering that it's located in the other player's trade screen. :) Nice try at stealing the credit, though.

[DarkCrown]

At no point do I see a claim by IKKE that he was the one who made the shield.

Thanks for the backup, Obi2Kenobi, but I'll eat my crow here; DarkCrown is correct that IKKE never explicitly said that he created the shield (though it's a fairly strong implication, what with the lack of any subject otherwise). My mistake for jumping to conclusions.

Mmm...crow...

There's a big thread about this on the AB forums.

Personally, I'm very annoyed that this isn't in the MPQ. That means SP players can't use it, and it means that MPQ reading and SP testing are useless for determining the stats (or even the existence) of such runewords. There's simply no reasonable way to find realms-only runewords. You'd have to test about 17 billion rune/item combinations (needing about 3 billion of each kind of rune) on the realms if you want to be sure you aren't missing any.

The only real way to find such runewords would be to be given them by someone in the know.

Nice choice here by Bliz, like the spellcasters need a more accessible Lidless to make 'em easier to play. <_<

There's a nasty feeling I get, this is a purposefully leaked runeword to renew interest in the next ladder season.

[Bun-Bun]

Is it my imagination or do a rather large proportion of halfway decent armor runewords already use Lum? And the SP/Ladder unique weapon upgrade? Are they trying to create a Lum economy, or a Lum shortage?

Where's the image????

[Griselda]

Since this topic is more of a general interest topic, and since people were already creating "new runeword" threads in Atma's, I went ahead and moved this thread to Atma's. Please keep all "new runeword" discussion in this thread. Thanks.

new link guys

and about the screenshot...(first) that screen aint mine alright, because i can't upload them to nowhere..

Same here, as it is practically useless. I mean, it's like a weak lidless-Rhyme combination (less cast, no resists, no block).

Can't see too many of these being made...

[Little Faith]

If Blizzard just could be convinced to do a patch update for the single players.

I mean, we still have the FE bug.

ah, i thought it has 15% of extra mana, actaully its 15% mana regen, oh well...

[Caaroid]

Well, I am rather excited about the ES build myself, but I do not understand why do you say it does not need faster cast. A sorceress ALWAYS needs faster cast, but the ES build needs them most: her spells are frighteningly underpowered, so she needs to make up for that with speed. (Unless you go Orb, but can you spell BORRING?)

Also, I seriously believe it to be a wasted opportunity to use a non-staff weapon on an ES sorc. If lucky, you can get +6 to all skills from the weapon and the shield slot, what can only be surpassed by an even luckier Orb-find.

And yes, I know that I should not dream of finding that 4 socketed +3 ES +3 Chain Lightning +3 Lightning Mastery staff, but one can hope, can't one?

PS: Ok, on switch with GULL, this is an OK shield; I don't mind loosing the 5% MF over a rhyme...

There seem to be some more new (armor) runewords like DURESS (shael-Um-Thul) and PRUDENCE (Mal-Tir).

[Fragbait]

Hi everybody,

It's all at the amazon basin, here.
Hope it's the right link B)

Greetings, Fragbait

Unless this is yet another brilliant idea like once "Your duped SOJ's for a chance on fighting the Diablo Clone!" to burn the duped runes on the (ladder) realms, it would be nice to get an official list of changes/new features and/or a single-player patch from Blizzard for the legit players ;)

[Dozer]

Those are those runewords from some issue of Computer Gaming World a few years back in 1.09. Better late than never, I guess :D

[adeyke]

No. The CGW runewords were these:
Duress (ThulHelUm) in body armour
Famine (TalIthAmnThul) in axes and clubs
Pattern (EldThulOrt) in claws

The actual Duress that was just discovered is ShaelUmThul. Famine was introduced in 1.10 and is FalOhmOrtJah. I'm not sure if anyone's tested the EldThulOrt Pattern yet, but the TalOrtTalTirEld Pattern doesn't work.
