A Lum rune is a low-mid rune which can be socketed into equipment in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. In open and ladder games, Lum runes are useful for upgrading unique weapons to elite versions.
Effects[]
| Equipment type | Effects |
|---|---|
| Weapon | +10 To Energy |
| Body armor or helm | +10 To Energy |
| Shield | +10 To Energy |
Socketing an item with a Lum rune increases the item's level requirement to 37, unless it was already higher.
