A Lem rune is a mid rune which can be socketed into equipment in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. Although Lem runes are somewhat rare, few non-ladder rune words use them. In ladder games, Lem runes have additional uses, such as upgrading unique armor to elite versions.
Effects[]
| Equipment type | Effects |
|---|---|
| Weapon | 75% Extra Gold From Monsters |
| Body armor or helm | 50% Extra Gold From Monsters |
| Shield | 50% Extra Gold From Monsters |
Socketing an item with a Lem rune increases the item's level requirement to 43, unless it was already higher.
