About this converter
Diablo II rune levels run 11 to 31 across the first fourteen runes, and socketing sets the floor. El and Eld open at 11, Tir and Nef at 13, Eth and Ith at 15, Tal at 17, Ral at 19, Ort at 21, Thul at 23, Amn at 25, Sol at 27, Shael at 29 and Dol at 31. Three of a kind cubes upward to Thul, then gems join the recipe. That makes Dol nearly three Els. Countess runs to Hellforge drops feed this band on every difficulty. Spirit alone spends Tal, Thul, Ort and Amn, which is why Nightmare Countess runs target this band. Every figure here is the socket level requirement from the rune tables.
How to use it
Pick two runes and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Dol against Els to see the level gap behind the cube chain.
Higher runes climb past this table: Hel has no listed requirement quirk, Io 35, Lum 37, Ko 39, Fal 41, Lem 43, up toward Zod 69, and stay noted. Socketing raises an item to the rune level only if it was lower. Ladder-only words use the same levels.
