A Fal rune is a low-mid rune which can be socketed into equipment in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. Although Fal runes are not used in popular rune words, they are still useful for upgrading rare weapons to elite versions.
Effects[]
| Equipment type | Effects |
|---|---|
| Weapon | +10 To Strength |
| Body armor or helm | +10 To Strength |
| Shield | +10 To Strength |
Socketing an item with a Fal rune increases the item's level requirement to 41, unless it was already higher.
