All Runes in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred

Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred adds several new features, like a new class, new endgame activities, Runes, and Runewords.

Those last two additions are yet another way players can customize their characters and builds in the action RPG. Here’s everything there is to know about Runes and Runewords in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred.

What are Runes and Runewords in Diablo 4?

Runes are a new consumable item in Vessel of Hatred that can be slotted into gear to offer certain powers and abilities. Runewords are then made when combining two different kinds of Runes: Runes of Ritual and Runes of Invocation. One of each must be slotted into a piece of gear with two slots available (helms now have two slots, too, as of Vessel of Hatred).

“Runes work off a resource system called Offering, which is generated by Runes of Ritual upon meeting their listed condition,” Blizzard explained. “Runes of Invocation consume this Offering to activate their effects. The more demanding of a requirement, the more Offering the Rune of Ritual will generate. On the inverse, the Offering requirement to activate a Rune of Invocation scales with the strength of its effect. Generating more Offering than is required results in Overflow, or a bonus to a Rune of Invocation’s effects.”

There are 15 Runes of Ritual and 26 Runes of Invocation in Diablo 4 so far, but it’s likely more will be added to the game over time. Rune crafting can be done at any Jeweler NPC, and Runes drop as rewards for completing activities.

So, to summarize, you perform an action in a Rune of Ritual to generate Offering, and then the Offering is used to trigger an ability/buff/etc. to use the Offering generated.
