Diablo 2 16-Io Wiki & Tips

What is Io Rune in Diablo 2 Resurrected?

The 16-Io rune has a special ability that adds +10 to Vitality when inserted into a socket on a weapon, armor, or shield. This means that if you insert an Io rune into a socket on a piece of equipment, you will gain 10 additional points of Vitality, which increases your maximum health points.

In addition to its basic ability, the Io rune can also be used in certain runewords that grant additional bonuses and effects. For example, when used in the "Peace" runeword, which requires the Io rune and a few other specific runes to be inserted into a piece of armor, it grants the ability to cast a level 15 Valkyrie spell when struck, as well as other bonuses to resistances and damage. So while the basic ability of the Io rune is to add +10 to Vitality, its true power comes from its ability to be used in powerful runewords that grant unique and useful effects.
