→Rune Names
==Rune Names==
There are five types of runes in Diablo 3. Their names have changed during development, though when he named them in (May 2010), Bashiok said these were fairly set for the final game: [[Crimson runeRune|Crimson]], [[Indigo runeRune|Indigo]], [[Obsidian runeRune|Obsidian]], [[Golden runeRune|Golden]], [[Alabaster runeRune|Alabaster]]. These names are all adjectives for colors (red, blue, black, gold, white), but it's not known if the rune names will appear in those colors in the game.
The five known rune names, prior to the color-themed name change:
* [[Energy Rune]]
* [[Viper Rune]] (named Lethality before)
* [[Indigo rune]] -- formerly known as the [[Hydra Rune]], which was previously called the "Multistrike" rune), and is now the [[Indigo Rune]].
* [[Force Rune]] (named Power before)
* [[Striking Rune]]
Only the Multistrike > Hydra > Indigo rune name progression is confirmed as of June 2010. It's unknown which of the others are now called Golden, Alabaster, Obsidian, or Crimson. Their properties are unchanged; just their titles.

As of BlizzCast episode 8 (30th of March, 2009) [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcast-8-live-with-diablo-iii-goodies/] Runes and Rune Sockets changed from squares below a skill to horizontal rectangles, as seen in the image to the right.
