Learn how to craft the powerful Spirit runeword in Diablo II: Resurrected. Discover its stats, requirements, and the runes needed for this essential weapon.
Alright, let's talk about one of the absolute best early-to-mid game runewords you can make in Diablo II: Resurrected: Spirit. Seriously, if you can get the right runes and a 4-socket sword, this thing is a game-changer, especially for casters. It's called Spirit, and the runes you need are Tal, Thul, Ort, and Amn. You'll want to put these into a 4-socket sword, but remember, the base stats of the sword itself matter, so try to find a good one!
Spirit Stats
| 4-Socket Sword | |
| Damage | weapon base |
| Durability | weapon base |
| Required Strength | weapon base |
| Required Dexterity | weapon base |
| Required Level | 25 (or weapon base, if higher) |
This runeword gives you a ton of awesome bonuses. You get +2 to All Skills, which is huge for any character. Plus, you'll see a +25-35% Faster Cast Rate (this varies, so aim for a higher roll!) and +55% Faster Hit Recovery. It also adds some elemental damage: 1-50 Lightning, 3-14 Cold, and a 75 Poison Damage over 5 Seconds. On top of that, you get 7% Life Stolen Per Hit, +250 Defense vs. Missiles, +22 To Vitality, a variable +89-112 To Mana, and +3-8 Magic Absorb.
- The base weapon you use for Spirit matters a lot. Look for a 4-socket Sword, preferably a Crystal Sword, Broad Sword, or Long Sword, as these have lower Strength and Dexterity requirements.
- The Faster Cast Rate and Mana rolls are variable, so keep an eye out for the best possible rolls when you're crafting.
- Spirit can also be made in a shield, which is incredibly powerful for survivability. The runes are the same (TalThulOrtAmn), but you'll need a 4-socket shield, ideally a Monarch shield for its low Strength requirement and high block chance once upgraded.
