RuneWord Question

[jamespal]

when something reads like ohmjah whatever, i get those are the runes that were placed in it.

I was told the order is important.... So, if i look at someone elses bow and it says those rune words, is that the order they were placed in the bow to make it runey?

also is there some site that has runeword combo info?

Here are all the runeword listings. Scroll down to see them.

Yes, the orders you place runes inside your item is important - "RalOrtTal" in a shield will create a runeword "Ancient's Pledge", but if you try "TalRalOrt", the runes will remain the runes, and no additional bonuses will be added.

Also, play VERY close attention to the item type(s) the runeword is designed for. Spirit (ladder) will work only, and I mean ONLY in swords/shields. Try to stick it in a mace or axe, and you've wasted the runes.

Generally, read the page that Evrae Altana provided - it has all the must-read info on runewords.
