Ward Ref /3
Runic Ward
Runic Ward is a last line of protection, absorbing fatal damage instead of your Life. If you take damage that would cause your Life to reach 0 while you have Runic Ward, you will drop to 1 Life and your Runic Ward will take the remaining damage. You will still die if you do not have enough Runic Ward to absorb the remaining damage. Runic Ward does not protect against Life loss that is not caused by taking damage.

Runic Ward constantly regenerates at a default rate of 5% per second.

Monsters can also have Runic Ward. While a monster has Runic Ward, it cannot be Culled.
Quality
Quality grants small bonuses to an item depending on the type of item, up to a default maximum of 20%.

Martial Weapons gain 1% more Physical damage per Quality.
Armours gain 1% more Armour, Evasion, Energy Shield and Runic Ward per Quality.
Rings and Amulets have a number of possible quality types that provide bonuses to specific modifiers on the item.
Flasks gain 1% more Life and Mana recovery per Quality.
Charms gain 1% increased duration per Quality.
Skill Gems or equipment that grant Skills grant a specific bonus to their Skill based on their Quality.
Honour
Honour is an additional resource you have to manage within the Trial of the Sekhemas. A percentage of the damage you take from enemies in the Trial will be taken from your Honour. If your Honour reaches zero then the Trial is failed.

Your starting and maximum Honour are the sum of your maximum Life, Energy Shield and Runic Ward. Your maximum Mana is also added if you have [passive_keystone_mind_over_matter|Mind Over Matter].
Low Runic Ward
You are on Low Runic Ward if you have 35% of your maximum Runic Ward or less.

Runic Ward

When you run out of life, your Runic Ward will kick in, sustaining your body until your life can return.

It effectively acts as an extra life pool.

Of course, when you take enough damage to run out of that, you will still die.

Every single piece of armor in the game can be upgraded by Runeforging, even Uniques.
