Diablo 4 has seen a major overhaul with the release of the Vessel of Hatred expansion and Season 6’s “Season of Hatred Rising,” and one of the elements that has seen a slight tweak is The Artificer’s Stone. It was previously called a Runeshard, but has been changed, possibly to avoid confusion with Runewords. If you’ve played since Season 4, you’ll know that Runeshards were a key resource needed to enter The Pit, a challenging endgame dungeon. Here’s what you need to know about Artificer’s Stones.
