An Ith rune is a low rune which can be socketed into equipment in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. Ith runes are common, but have only two popular uses, the Enigma rune word, and the crafting of Caster belts.
Effects[]
| Equipment type | Effects |
|---|---|
| Weapon | +9 To Maximum Damage |
| Body armor or helm | 15% Damage Taken Goes to Mana |
| Shield | 15% Damage Taken Goes to Mana |
Socketing an item with an Ith rune increases the item's level requirement to 15, unless it was already higher.
