Rune values in the game Path of Diablo 2 (PD2) are an important aspect of the game's economy and character progression. Runes are used to upgrade and socket items, providing various bonuses and enhancing a player's character. In PD2, each rune has a specific value, determined by its rarity and usefulness in crafting or upgrading items. The higher the rune's value, the more sought-after it is by players. Runes range from low-value details like El, Eld, and Tir, to higher-value runes like Ber, Sur, and Jah. The most valuable rune in PD2 is the Zod rune.
Rune Value
All 33 Runes in Diablo 2 are listed below in order of Trade Value from highest to lowest.

Keep in mind that the Relative Value of runes changes over the course of a Ladder season. Runes listed with Very High , High , Medium , or Low values are typically easy to trade.
