***SPOILER*** v 2.21b Runeword Information

Post by jbouley » Sat Oct 04, 2003 8:18 pm

RUNEWORD SPOILERS_v2.21b___________________________________________

This file contains the runewords in the Sanctuary in Chaos mod, listed by name, along with the items they work on, the runes needed and the order of the runes. In addition, there are notes after the first table to explain the item codes, and some general notes about some of the runewords (just a few tidbits to help out a little).

I don’t provide information on the codes for the powers of the runewords, as it would be too complex to explain simply for someone who hasn’t done modding, and the table would not fit well in this kind of document.

A couple players of my mod got together and created a resource with screenshots of all the runewords. At the time of the writing of this document (Sept. 14, 2003), the resource was located at:
www.yonder.de/es/sic/sic_runewords.htm

I will probably add this resource (or part of it at least) on my own site at some point.

If you are using version 2.20 of this mod, you may find that Word of Yahweh crashes the game. It was buggy in earlier versions, and I don’t think I fixed it for 2.20, though I may have done so and forgot that I did. However, I know it’s fixed for version 2.21. The runeword Oath probably won’t work on swords in any versions prior to 2.21.

Almost all runes can be purchased from Anya in Act 5, except for the four seasonal runes (Sumr, Wint, Spri and Autn) and the GodsEye rune. Those five runes must be created via Horadric Cube recipes. If you need more information on creating those five and don’t want to find the clues in the game (or cannot understand them), you should consult my Cube Recipe Spoiler document.

Note: There are six versions of each of the four powerful “seasonal” runewords listed in the table below. That is because various rune combinations are possible to create the words. But there is no difference between those different versions in terms of powers granted.

Added: For version 2.21b, four new weapon-oriented runewords have been added (Wind of Penance, Sun of Rebirth, Desert of Suffering and Snows of Purity), as many players thought my “uber runeword” for weapons, Oath of the Endless, was not powerful enough for its level requirement (which has been reduced in 2.21b) nor useful enough in Hell difficulty for high-level characters. So, consider these four new ones to be “uber-uber runewords,” I guess.

A Few General Notes
This is NOT a complete spoiler list, but it will guide you toward a few of the runes you may want and some you
may want to avoid.

Destiny’s Daughter
Five-level boost to the skills of all female characters, plus an AC bonus that scales upward with character level.

Son of Prophecy
Same as Destiny’s Daughter, but for the male characters

Tradition
Oriented primarily toward paladins, amazons and barbarians. Skill level for each are randomly determined,
between 1 and 3, along with health, defense, mana and blocking bonuses.

Whisper
Oriented primarily toward sorceresses, assassins, necromancers and druids. Skill level for each are randomly
determined, between 1 and 3, along with a mana bonus and a health bonus that scales upward according to
character level

Cursed Runewords
Some runewords simply will mess up your item with completey useless skills, or they will give you a couple
modest bonuses and hefty penalties along with them. Here are a few of them:
Despair
Jealousy
Patience
Void

Character-Specific Runewords
Several runewords are specifically geared to certain classes. Here are the single-class-oriented runewords:
Skill-Tree Enhancing Words
Paladin:
Knight's Vigil, Lawbringer and Sanctuary
Druid:
Nature's Kingdom, Pattern and Wonder
Barbarian:
Kingslayer, Passion and Victory
Amazon:
Rain, Sting and Unbending Will
Sorceress:
Obsession, Plague and Wisdom
Assassin:
Night, Peril and Still Water
Necromancer:
Loyalty, Punishment and Spirit

Overall Class-Enhancement Words
Paladin:
Piety
Druid:
Mist
Barbarian:
Woe
Amazon:
Pride
Sorceress:
Knowledge
Assassin:
Principle
Necromancer:
Red

Fires of Summer
Call of Autumn
Bite of Winter
Glow of Spring
These four runewords are the some of the most powerful in the game.

Oath of the Endless
Word of Yahweh
These two words are even more powerful than the four “seasonal” words above. One works on weapons and the
other on armor, but they use the same runes.

Wind of Penance
Sun of Rebirth
Desert of Suffering
Snows of Purity
These four runewords are strictly for offensive use in weapons, and are meant to provide a more high-level,
Hell-worthy level of destruction that players of 2.21 and 2.21a thought was lacking in Oath of the Endless.
These were added in 2.21b and do NOT appear in earlier versions of the mod.

A riddle wrapped within a mystery surrounded by an enigma -- served with a heaping side order of fried conundrum and a tall glass of puzzlement.

I will update my runeword site as soon as I start to play 2.21b. That means that I'm wait for JEBs running 2.21b on the {No mentioning of private realms - consider this a warning} server. No single player for me, plz. :)
