Undiscovered Rune Words

A while back; I recall folks talkin’ about the extra slots in the game-files related to runewords. The runewords where listed sequentially with gaps in the list. As far as I know it hasen’t been confirmed if those are empty placeholders or runewords that haven’t been discovered.

can anyone confirm anything here?

all runewords are known but i believe there are 2 not in the game.

There is plague and 1 other not in game

Plague could be implemented though quite usefull for assasins and makes cham used in smthg useful

There are unreleased/non-activated runewords, not undiscovered.

Vengeance
3 socket weapons
Ith Amn El

Voice
2 socket helm
Tir Ith

Wonder
3 socket wand (!!!)
Nef Sol Ist
(Wands only have two sockets, but it could be from the second expansion – where three socket wands could’ve been a thing)

Plague
3 socket weapons
Cham Fal Um


Only the last one has effects added to it – but it is not enabled.

In addition, there’s a lot of ‘words’ that don’t have any runes assigned in a Runes.txt file that’s been around for a long time, that is or were a part of an update.mpq file in D2 LoD.

Wonder could also have been ment for Orbs. They can get up to 3 socs.

There is several runewords which werent used in files. They were never activated.

They’re set up to be used for the item type Wands – not the item type Sorceress Orbs
But that could be a typo on the devs part in the files.

did you find the jar jar blinks runeword?

ah, beauty. just not enabled.
