well check the timer. If you are approaching the 5 minute mark, do not do it. Wait til after the 5 minute mark or an interval of it. After you do that, make the Runeword. if you like it, save and exit. If you dont, have another char spam tp's as fast as they can outside of town (a5 of course). The game should drop.

Make sure there are no golems on the lower stairs. Dunno why, but dont do it
