well i dont see it funny because he said he was gonna update his RHYME bone shield that he already had to a elite shield, and i dont see how finding runes for another rhyme shield would make it ironic, i would understand if he found like the rune that he needed to upgrade his boneshield to the elite shield but not the runes for another rhyme, i hope u can understand what i mean or am i just not understanding what he is trying to say
I'm not completely sure but I don't think you can upgrade runewords, just uniques and rares.
