I attempted to make the runeword “hustle”, Shael/Ko/Eld, in a 3 OS PB, in D2R nonladder, online, but it didn’t work. According to the D2R wiki, this runeword should be active in version 2.6, and work in all 3 OS weapons. What went wrong? What is the current version of the game online, is it 2.6? Do version 2.6 runewords only work in ladder? Thanks.
Hustle is a new runeword so u can make it only in ladder. After reset in some months u can make it in nonladder
after ladder it will transform into hustle so dont trash it.

Only if they add new ladder only rw for season 4. The ladder only rw for season 1 weren’t available to make and didn’t update to working until season 3, since they didn’t roll the season 1 rw to NL until season 3.
I still agree you should keep your failed Hustle since it should someday work, though.
It works in offline too.
Hustle is online LADDER only.
All rw are also enabled in offline with D2R.
No not the ones who came with 2.6, has to be online ladder. Look it up.
" We are introducing eight new Rune Words for Ladder and Offline Single-Player play."
They are for offline too!

The official patch notes say offline. Are you saying there’s a confirmed bug where they are not working as intended by people who tried them in offline after ladder went live?
I was incorrect, I got my info from an unofficial site where they stated incorrect information. This is good news as now I can make this runeword for my iron golem in single player

Hi all,
I tried today the Shael Ko Eld in online mode
It seems after all the time this word is not activated. I’ve lost those runes…
Any idea if I keep my stuff few months, waiting for the word to be for non-ladder players, it would make the job and the runeword would be understood by the game ?
What you described didn’t work with classic d2, but it appears that possibly yes, when blizz changed the last batch of d2r ladder only runewords to be able to be made on non-ladder, we had several users report their failed runewords magically became legit! So good chance if blizzsoft ever does make Mosaic and co applicable for non ladder that your failed runeword may not be a waste! No guarantee that’s for sure…
Thank you Guitars for this quick answer
So I’ll keep this armor, loose 6 slots in a mule and maybe one day I’ll see the lethal armor begin to shine
