-*WARNING #1: You cannot create runewords in anything but White and Superior bases. Meaning Magic, Rare, Set and Unique items with sockets will NOT work.
-*WARNING #2: You cannot socket already socketed items. Also, when using the Horadric Cube it gives a 50% chance at the max sockets.
-*WARNING #3: Always double Check Runeword recipes to make sure you put the runes in the correct order and in the correct item type. (Many people accidentally put
Polearm-runewords inside Spear-class weapons for example.)

Important Tips:
-Choose bases with low strength and dexterity requirements.
- Larzuk quest will always give the maximum number of sockets for that items ilvl.
-You can easily buy a lot of the bases with open sockets from Vendors too. Reset all Vendor items by leaving town through the Main Entrance, Portal or Waypoint.
-Use Hel Rune + TP scroll in the Horadric Cube to Remove all items from sockets, the Runes or Gems will be destroyed in the process.
