Ladder runewords in non-ladder (2.5)

Hello everyone!

Are new runewords (Plague, Obsession etc.) working in non-ladder now? Could you explain?

You can only make them in ladder but any that were made in ladder season one can now be used in non-ladder.

So yes or no ?

Not sure if serious but I don't think it can be any clearer! Maybe if I use numbers and extra formatting but keep the same words.

1) You can only make them in ladder.

But

2) Any that were made in ladder season one can now be used in non-ladder.

:p

You can only make them on Ladder. On non-ladder you can only use them (transfer them over from a previous ladder season). I believe this is correct after the Blizzard u-turn ^

But it is possible to make older runewords like Infinity into the new bases (spears in that case) also in NL, right? Or am I misinformed?

Yes, that's possible, I've made Insight in a bow with non-ladder chars.

Great, thank you for the confirmation

Still not working,it's supposed to be Wisdom

The rune words that were added in 2.4 are still ladder-only.

The old rune words from before D2R are all available on non-ladder, even the ones that used to be ladder-only back then.

There seems to still be a lot of confusion around this, since sources for D2:LoD refer to the old rune words such as Insight as ladder-only, for obvious reasons (D2:LoD is still playable and there those rune words are still ladder-only).
