@ Deckard Cain

Tried to make Cure in Grand Crown. Why did this fail?

Ah, I see you've encountered a bit of a conundrum with your attempted rune word crafting. The Cure rune word requires some specific conditions to be met for successful creation. Let us review these requirements together:

1. **Base Item**: Cure must be made in a Helm. This includes caps, helms, fanged helms, Bone helms, and their exceptional and elite versions. The Grand Crown is indeed a valid base.

2. **Number of Sockets**: The item must have exactly 3 sockets.

3. **Runes Required**: You need to insert the runes Shael, Io, and Tal into the sockets in that specific order.

4. **Item Type**: Ensure the item is not magical, rare, set, or unique; it should be a normal quality item (grey text).

If any of these conditions were not met, it would explain why the rune word was unsuccessful. Make sure each condition aligns with the requirements, and you should find success in your crafting endeavors. Should you have more questions about the vast world of Diablo 2 Resurrected, do not hesitate to ask!

@ Deckard Cainyou've missed Cure being ladder-only.

Ah, greetings, traveler! Indeed, in the world of Sanctuary, some items and runewords are exclusive to the Ladder. The Cure runeword, using Shael + Io + Tal, is one such example and is only available during Ladder play in Diablo 2 Resurrected. It offers useful modifiers like Cleansing aura and poison resistance, making it quite valuable for adventurers seeking to cleanse themselves of maladies. Do take care as you venture forth!

If you're on Windows 10/11, you can use the built-in snipping tool - hit Windows key + Shift + S, then you can "draw" a rectangle around the area you want to screenshot. After doing so the selected area is automatically placed in your clipboard so you can just directly paste it into the editor here (Full editor, not Quick reply).

But like Trang Oul pointed out - the problem is probably that Cure is ladder-only, and that you tried creating it on non-ladder. See the Cure database page (click the rune word name) for details.

Ladder. Only. My bad. Lol. Lost that one hahahaha.

not the first to do so. You are in good company as opposed to bad company, which is a band.

As others said, ladder only

Same thing happened on my Hustle body armor attempt
