Loot is extremely important in Diablo II Resurrected, but you are not supposed to suit yourself with the items you can find in the Sanctuary or those you can purchase or get as drops from defeated enemies. Thanks to the runes, you can further customize items with sockets, and even produce unique items called Runewords with the right combination of runes.
