Whereas the current system would make it so that uniques are limited to base item and level, a runeword system very slightly extends it by allowing base item type and level.Įx: instead of a certain unique always being of the exact same base item with the same base stats, it would make it so any of the allowable types would be able to use it regardless of the base stats as long as it met the socket requirements (or as a crafting base). The runeword system would only provide a slightly more flexible version of the current unique item system.
