The Centre Of The Oak (HOTO) runeword is very popular and offers a lot of useful bonuses to all caster classes and builds, especially when fighting demons. It can be made with whatever mace or staff class weapon but maces. Flails are more popular because they tin be wielded one-handed, assuasive the player to conduct a shield in the other hand. The but circumstance in which you lot might want to make a Heart Of The Oak staff is if yous're playing as a Sorceress and detect a iv-socket staff with an ideal set of modifiers.

The base weapon for Center Of The Oak must take exactly four sockets, and so that the runeword 'KoVexPulThul' can exist spelled out. Remember, you must add the runes to the weapon in that exact same society, otherwise y'all won't go Heart Of The Oak. So add the Ko rune, the Vex rune, the Pul rune, and then the Thul rune.

You can find a 4-socket flail anywhere from Act IV Normal onwards, or else yous tin notice a normal flail and add together sockets using the Horadric Cube (only flails found Act Iv Normal or later will have a hazard of getting four sockets though), or using Larzuk after you complete the Siege Of Harrogath quest in Act Five.

Thul is the easiest of the HOTO runes to detect, equally it starts dropping on Act Four on Normal difficulty. Ko is the adjacent easiest, but much harder, to notice. Information technology starts dropping during Act II on Nightmare difficulty, but you've a improve chance of finding it at the Hellforge on Nightmare or Hell, or getting it from The Countess on Hell. The same goes for Pul, although information technology doesn't get-go dropping until Human action IV on Nightmare. And Vex is really hard to find. You tin't go it at all from The Countess or the Hellforge, so you'll but have to hope for a random drop somewhere on Hell difficulty.
