It creates a Unique-tier item granting +5 to All Skills, Attack Speed, Maximum Resource, Impairment Reduction, and a weapon-or-shield conditional bonus. Players can equip Spirit starting at <strong>level 25<\/strong> across several one-handed and off-hand weapon types.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"spirit-runeword-recipe-and-base-items\">Spirit runeword recipe and base items<\/h2>\n<p>Crafting Spirit requires the Horadric Cube, unlocked by playing through the <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/diablo-4-lord-of-hatred\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lord of Hatred<\/a> campaign. Place four specific runes and an eligible white item inside the cube:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tal<\/li>\n<li>Thul<\/li>\n<li>Ort<\/li>\n<li>Amn<\/li>\n<li>1 Common (white) compatible base item<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Spirit accepts ten base item types: Axe, Dagger, Flail, Focus, Mace, Scythe, Shield, Sword, Totem, and Wand. The base item must be Common white quality, as runewords cannot be made in the Horadric Cube using Magic, Rare, or Legendary items.<\/p>\n<p>Socket counts do not matter on the base gear, meaning unsocketed items work without modification. Using an <strong>Ancestral Common<\/strong> base produces an Ancestral runeword variant with higher Item Power and potential Greater Affixes. Once assembled in the cube, clicking Transmute converts the components into the finished item.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/diablo4\/boost\/runewords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Diablo 4 Runewords Boost<\/a> gathers the necessary runes and handles the farming steps for your desired crafts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\"><div class=\"blog-info-media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" height=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/diablo-4-runewords-boost.webp\" alt=\"Diablo 4 Runewords Boost\"><\/div><div class=\"blog-info-text\"><p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy Diablo 4 Runewords Boost<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Leave the grind to us!<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/diablo4\/boost\/runewords\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"spirit-stats-and-item-affixes\">Spirit stats and item affixes<\/h2>\n<p>Spirit functions as a Unique-quality item with set affixes.
