Diablo 4 Ritual Runes

Understanding Ritual Runes

Ritual Runes are the foundation of the Runeword system in Diablo 4. When you meet the condition specified by a Ritual Rune, it generates a resource called Offering. This Offering is then used by Invocation Runes to trigger powerful effects. The Ritual Runes’ conditions vary, and the amount of Offering they generate scales with the difficulty of the task.

List of Ritual Runes

Here’s a comprehensive list of the Ritual Runes available in Diablo 4, along with their effects:

  1. Yul (Legendary): Gain 50 Offering when you cast a Skill with a Cooldown.
  2. Cir (Magic): Gain 25 Offering when you cast the same non-Channeled Skill 3 times in a row.
  3. Ahu (Legendary): Gain 10 Offering when you hit an Injured enemy with a Lucky Hit (up to a 100% chance).
  4. Neo (Rare): Gain 300 Offering when you deal damage after not taking any damage for 5 seconds (resets if Invulnerable).
  5. Tam (Legendary): Gain 25 Offering when you cast a non-Channeled Core Skill.
  6. Xol (Legendary): Gain 150 Offering when you evoke power from another Class.
  7. Zan (Magic): Gain 150 Offering when you cast an Ultimate Skill.
  8. Feo (Rare): Gain 1000 Offering when you become Injured or Crowd Controlled (Cooldown: 20 seconds).

  15. Moni (Magic): Gain 10 Offering when you cast a Skill after moving (Cooldown: 0.2 seconds).
  16. Kaa (Rare): Gain 2 Offering when you lose 1% of your Maximum Life.
  17. Lith (Legendary): Gain 25 Offering when you stand still for 0.3 seconds.

Using Ritual Runes in Runewords

To create a Runeword, you must socket a Ritual Rune and an Invocation Rune into an item with two sockets. When the condition of the Ritual Rune is met, Offering is generated, which the Invocation Rune then consumes to activate its effect. The beauty of the system lies in the flexibility it offers — you can pair any Ritual Rune with any Invocation Rune, allowing for endless combinations.

Example of a Runeword

Let’s consider an example using the Bac Rune of Ritual:

  • Bac Rune of Ritual: Generates 50 Offering every 5 meters your character moves.
  • Jah Rune of Invocation: Requires 500 Offering to replace your next Evade with the Sorcerer’s Teleport (2 sec cooldown).

By equipping both the Bac and Jah Runes, you create a BacJah Runeword. As you move, you generate Offering, and once you have enough, your next Evade will become a Teleport.

Crafting and Upgrading Runes

Runes can be used to craft other Runes or upgraded to higher rarities. For example, you can use three Runes of the same name to craft a new Rune, with the possibility of creating one of higher rarity. Additionally, at the Jeweler, you can craft Mythic Runes using specific combinations of Magic, Rare, and Legendary Runes.

Obtaining Runes

During the PTR (Public Test Realm) phase, Runes can be acquired as monster drops across Sanctuary. Players participating in the PTR can also obtain caches containing all Runes from the ‘PTR boost’ NPC in Zarbinzet starting September 6.

Conclusion

The Ritual Runes in Diablo 4 open up new possibilities for character customization and power progression. With 17 unique Ritual Runes to discover and countless combinations to experiment with, the Runeword system encourages creativity and strategy in building your character’s abilities. Whether you’re aiming for devastating effects or subtle enhancements, mastering Ritual Runes will be key to conquering the challenges of Sanctuary.
