Rune Slots and Rune Effects
Enhancement adds rune slots, while runes provide stat bonuses or conditional effects; diamond rune slots are limited to mythical weapons and torso armor.
How it works
The guide distinguishes round runes, which provide specific bonuses, from diamond runes, which provide conditional bonuses such as speed when health is low or igniting a weapon after a critical hit. It says diamond rune slots are only found on mythical weapons and mythical torso armor. Armor runes affect one armor piece; a weapon rune changes a stat for equipped weapons that use that stat.
