[2.0] The Runewords Overhaul

Can't wait to try it !!! Very exciting change in my opinion!

You need to keep more runes, so you need more stash space. If we got shared stash, it's actually a good change. Less focus on base item, more focus on runes. Good!

I also felt that most RWs were underwhelming, especially mid-game runewords are useless. E.g. Between Pax Mystica (level 13) and Elverfolk (level 100) there is nothing that any sorc would consider and even than most of the time you would prefer a TU instead of Elverfolk. So after level 20 the runes are not worth much until you get to end game content. (and the runes that you want there are much different) hopefully new RWs will also fix that problem.

Now that's a good change, should help some build that to too reliant on SSU to work I hope.

But I wonder if there will be a gem or rune storage recipe just like arcane cluster or shrine with oil of craft. At least for gems

Nice stuff

I fully agree. The current runewords between level 15 and level ~ 80 are usually worse in case of stats than the normal TU's. Only the Xis-enhanced runewords can make a change after that, but that doesn't change the fact that most runewods between 15 and 80 have no use with some few exceptions.

Btw since the renewal oil is limited to one time use and the base superior roll with lowest socket number, that item will be totally useless then. Making rare drop base item like Gilded Shield or Setzchild a real gamble. Unless there is a way to add extra socket on an already 1-3 socket items.

it's not specify if u can use oil of renewal > oil of enhance > oil of renewal again...
it would be nice if any1 from ptr could confirm or negate this possibility :

If it's true, that sounds like a lot of extra work than before, unless all superior item comes with all or no socket
