Rune Drops

Okay people..... i know that many people say runes all come down to luck and MF doesnt help towards the drop.... which i totally understand.... but i have noticed certain things... and that is certain places drop more runes then others!

Im not sure if this is in the game coding or not but i have noticed that the Chaos Sanctury has a very high rune drop rate... okay most of the time it only drops Tir's and Ort's.... but its dropping them atleast 3 to 6 times a run which is pretty good... and luckily enough i have had a cham from there.....

but what i was wondering other than Moo Moo Farm... has anyone else noticed a high rune drop rate while running in certain areas... even if it has been a handful or El's and Ith's.

If so could you tell me :crazyeyes:

i know Lower Kurast is good... but thats beacuse of the stupind amount of chests, logs and skeletons... its like a passive cow run that place

many thanks :jig:

Re: Rune Drops

Well.. The Chaos Sanctuary and Hell Cows are renowned places for farming runes, yes. It's nothing new, I'm afraid.

Re: Rune Drops

your right dude.... but what i was wondering if anyone knew any other random places other than the cows and the sanctuary? like the icy cellar or the hole or something like this?

Re: Rune Drops

Some monster types have higher chances to drop runes. I think Gloams & Specters are two, so anywhere those spawn you should be a little better off. I remember someone (salvo?) in 1.10 running the Arcane Sanctuary with a lightsorc and trying to farm runes - I believe he got a couple of Vex runes in a reasonable amount of time.


But I still believe that luck, killing-speed and time are the only three noteworthy factors in rune hunting.

Re: Rune Drops

I don't know if this is a fact, or just something I've experienced, but the Councils seems to drop runes quite often. I've played much goldfind runs in travincal and they drop lots of runes. Found Ist there 1-2 weeks ago.

Re: Rune Drops

yeah ive noticed the council drop runes quite a bit... and when i use the 'find item' skill with the barb when they are dead not only do i get a bucket load of cash but ive noticed they re-drop runes... and amus.... loads of amus!... but then i remember reading somewhere that the council have the highest chance of dropping Tal's amu... so thats probably the connection.

Re: Rune Drops

My first HR ever was a Lo rune from nightmare Lister in season 2.

Found Ohm and Jah from council near mephisto, and Sur (yesterday) from council in Travincal, all in hell.

Ohm, and Lo from the Summoner in hell.

ki_leigh found an Ohm rune from nightmare worldstone keep on a random monster while we were baaling, then a few weeks later she found a Vex.

There is a drop code in the game that says you will never find what you are actually looking for.

Re: Rune Drops

The odds of a Hell Council Member dropping a Lo rune (a good metric to go by) is 438201:1 against in a 1-player game, and this is the best chance you will find of any regular monster.

Some boss and super-unique monsters have a higher chance, but not much higher (163284:1 against in the case of Andy, the best chance for drop-on-kill in the game, but a much longer run and only 1 per game)

The council is far and away to best farm-spot for these high runes, although rushing to hell forge is certainly more productive if you have dedicated help.

In 8-player games, the odds are 286826:1 for a Lo per council member.

Re: Rune Drops

I tested this NM Worldstone keep farming and runes did drop on every run (always at lvl 2) but very low end. Also much more charm drops than, say, in The Pit. With quality range of [email protected] GC vs. 1 mana SC.

thats exactly whats happening to me but in the 'Lower Kurast'.
i done a couple of runs there over the weekend and the Small Charm and Grand charm drops were intense (found me a nice SC 7%mf 7% cold resist)! but not always great! and thats the problem im having with the runes! There dropping but all low level
found a Rising sun amu aswell on a skeleton :jig:
hopefully tho the rune drops will start getting better!!

Hehehehehe.

I found a Vex in Hell Lower Kurast, random bosspack I didn't even intend on killing.
Lots of Ists and Guls of Hell Hellforge, ofcourse.
Pul from Nightmare Council.

I think those are all the good runes I've ever found..
