What’s the difference between Runes of Ritual and Runes of Invocation?
The difference between Runes of Ritual and Runes of Invocation is the same as between cause and effect: the two only work in pairs, and you can create those pairs out of 19 Runes of Ritual and 29 Runes of Invocation.
Let’s consider a pair of Yax (a Rune of Ritual, representing cause) and Ceh (a Rune of Invocation, representing effect), creating a Runeword YaxCeh. Yax will give you 100 Offering (a rune resource; consider it your Mana for Rune skills) when you drink a Healing Potion — that would be our cause that triggers the effect of Ceh — summoning a Wolf to aid you. So it happens that both of these runes either provide or spend 100 Offering points, but there are other combinations as well.
If you drastically outperform yourself and get much more offering than a Rune of Invocation requires, it will proc an Overflow effect that boosts the skill of a said Rune. In our case, you’d summon multiple Wolves to help you instead of just one.
Can Runes be used as a crafting material?
Yes, Runes can totally be used as a crafting material in these two ways:
- Rune Crafting — this mechanic allows you to use three Runes with the same name to craft a new Rune which will 100% be different from the ones that you used for crafting. Besides, there’s a chance the resulting Rune would be of higher quality than the ones used;
- Mythic Unique Items Crafting — with one Resplendent Spark and 30 Runes (3 types of Runes, 10 of each type), you can craft any Mythic Unique item you want! Before Vessel of Hatred, you had to collect 4 Resplendent Sparks and 50 million Gold to be able to transmute them into a desired Mythic Unique at the Alchemist. But now, it should be somewhat easier with only one Resplendent Spark required! However, you’ll need a different set of Runes for each Mythic Unique, for example: to craft Andariel’s Visage, you’ll have to gather one Resplendent Spark, ten Tam Runes, ten Qax Runes, and ten Zan Runes.
If you don’t have Resplendent Sparks, you’re welcome to use our Resplendent Spark service in the Diablo 4 Crafting Materials Boost section!
Let’s say I found the Diablo 4 Runewords Boost service at a lower price elsewhere. Will you match the price?
Yes, we will gladly do a price match, provided a platform offering the service at a lower price is trustworthy. Scam service providers do not count, but if a service provider is credible (can be checked at their profile on Trustpilot or Reviews.io), then the discount for you will be right there!
