Runewords don't work for me anymore

[jimeez]

I have been inserting runes into items for the past few days and they're not creating the runewords they're supposed to. Take this one for example:

Any ideas?

Hey jimeez. It's not working because you can only make the runewords out of ethereal or non-eth socketed (grayish text) items.

Indeed. Just to reiterate, you cannot make runewords in unique (gold), set (green), rare (yellow) or magical (blue) items.

Now I feel like a real idiot. Thanks for the info. Now I can stop wasting runes and items. ;)

Or crafted (orange) items. Just to be complete. :)
