It is possible to make these Rune Word items from the runes obtainable from the Countess in Normal and Nightmare levels. The Countess guarantees at least one drop, so some Countess runs may be in line for those who want to build these items.

 

Here are the Runes the Countess drops by difficulty. 

 

Difficulty

Runes

Normal

El, Eld, Tir, Nef, Eth, Ith, Tal, Ral

Nightmare

El, Eld, Tir, Nef, Eth, Ith, Tal, Ral, Ort, Thul, Amn, Sol, Shael, Dol, Hel, Io, Lum, Ko

Hell

El, Eld, Tir, Nef, Eth, Ith, Tal, Ral, Ort, Thul, Amn, Sol, Shael, Dol, Hel, Io, Lum, Ko, Fal, Lem, Pul, Um, Mal, Ist, Gul, Vex, Ohm, Lo

 

The Countess is a very thankful boss that supplies most of the runes we need, but unfortunately, she doesn't drop the runes above Lo. The drop rate of runes Gul, Vex, Ohm, and Lo are known to be extremely low, so to obtain these runes and above (Sur, Ber, Jah, Cham, Zod), you'll need to go somewhere else that has a higher Treasure Class.
