An Eth rune is a low rune which can be socketed into equipment in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. Some popular rune words use Eth runes, but the value of Eth runes is limited by how frequently they drop.
Effects[]

| Weapon | −25% To Target Defense |
| Body armor or helm | Regenerate Mana 15% |

Socketing an item with an Eth rune increases the item's level requirement to 15, unless it was already higher.
