Runeword didn’t work?

Got an eth dusk shroud, added sockets in the cube and tossed in runes in order for treachery. All that came out was a grey eth dusk shroud with no runeword and some bonus gold find, fhr, and cold res.

Any idea what I did wrong?

Crafted on BNET with my one mod causing the (1) being an offline item level mod for when the queues are high.

No editors. I’ve crafted rune words since that worked.

Just logged in and now my armour has been changed to a 4os?

Wrong number of sockets? Incorrect runes/ rune order? A screenshot would help.

Hard to diagnose without a screenshot. 99.9% of runeword failures is using an incorrect item (ones with things like artisans, jewelers or mechanic’s are NOT valid for example) or putting in the wrong order.

probably put the runes in the wrong order

Yah don’t know how to add a photo. My bad. I can promise the runes are correct and in order though. Looks identical to a screenshot of a 3 socket eth dusk i looked at online.

You can upload it and post a link in a preformatted text like this

  • Good luck. If you’re right, you will be the first to report an actual runeword bug.

The (1) is from an offline mod that shows item levels, nothing to do with the item.

Sorry I can’t post links

I dunno anything about mods really, but it works in unmodded offline mode (here’s mine) https://imgur.com/a/Mbb0w26

Sorry. To be clear this was on BNET not offline. The bracketed 1 just seems to be a carryover since I put the offline mod on.

Mods online? Wouldn’t that be against EULA? Sounds risky.

if you’re using an offline mod, what version of d2 is it running?

treachery was introduced in 1.11

also if using hero editor it could be something to do with how the item is labeled. like if the game doesn’t think it’s an armor or something

Once again. This was made in bnet. No mods active while on bnet, but for some reason my one offline mod just puts a 1 next to items while on bnet. I don’t know why maybe that’s the issue even. Just seems odd to me.

No hero editor is being used

My current game is up to date. I’ve only played the offline here and there because I can only play for a little while during peak times and get sick of the queue here and there.

Looks legit to me but it’s difficult to tell what effect the mod is having. The code might be looking for a specific string that the mod changed. I would question the mod source to find out exactly what it’s changing.

Just to add to this. I just crafted a malice 2h sword and stealth armour and both worked fine.

The issue seems to be solely on the treachery

I just had a thought that maybe it was always a 4os but there’s a bug in showing sockets. That could also explain some other reports that never had a proper answer.

I agree on this. But I am sure it always said 3os before adding runes. I remember the disappointment of wanting a 4os …. Guess I’m in luck now.

Yes, it would show 3os but could actually be a 4os and it required something to be put in the sockets for it to change.

I can think of several ways to do this such as sockets = 6 - 3 but socket count actually starts at 0, which means 6 is really 7 and sockets would be 4. I’m guilty of silly mistakes like this myself but without seeing the code, I’m just guessing.

Anyways, you could run it through the cube with a Hel rune and get the empty sockets back.

Edit: I see that was your plan. I’m curious if it will turn back into a 3os. Report back if you do this after all.
