Greater Iron Rune FAQs

What makes Greater Iron Rune a top-tier choice for endgame builds?

Greater Iron Rune is one of the most widely used runes in Path of Exile 2 due to its powerful scaling across physical damage, defense, and spell amplification. Its versatility makes it a staple for both melee and caster archetypes transitioning into high-level content.

Can I remove a socketed Greater Iron Rune?

No. Once socketed, it cannot be removed. However, it can be overwritten by another rune or soul core.

Can I socket multiple Greater Iron Runes into one item?

Yes. As long as the item has multiple open Rune sockets, each Greater Iron Rune will apply its full effect. The bonuses stack linearly, making this rune a powerful choice for gear with multiple sockets.

What happens when I replace a socketed rune?

The original rune is destroyed. Only unsocketed ones can be reforged or reused.
