Question about making Insight RW (non-ladder).

Is it possible to make it into missile weapons in non-ladder?

Would like to know to make sure before potentially wasting a good 4-socket base.

TL;DR I quit d2r on the ladder season they first updated it to make into bows, and I have no idea if this was updated into the non-ladder RWs

thanks in advance

Yes I think you can use it in a bow in non-ladder. That being said if it doesn't work you can always unsocket the base for reuse, all you need is a 1

Hel rune and a TP scroll.

Just tried it now in NL, it works in bows, ty.
Also I forgot about the unsocket recipe, been away from D2 so long haha

Glad it worked and good to see you again @halflife it's been a minute!

For future readers - this was the blue post when they made it available in missile weapons:

Developer Comments: Insight is a popular Rune Word, and we feel that allowing it on ranged weapons will promote more build possibilities that complement the skill and mercenary changes seen above.

Absolutely. I use Insight bows for some of my rogue mercs, and i use Insight bow as weapon for some of my characters.

It's super useful for bowazons for example, to recover mana that fast, and the damage output of the runeword is plenty decent enough that i have a lvl 76 amazon with a Insight

Blade Bow on switch(slightly more damage) and an Insight +3 skill

Ceremonial Bow as main. Not superduper powerful, but entirely adequate.
