The Rune Finder
Hey guys. Been a while since I've posted in these forums but I have a curious point I've been wondering about for some time now regarding a rune finding character.
A couple of months ago I ended up in a 2-man game with a barb who had the highest-end runeword equipment on (i.e. 2 hotos to bo with, enigma, bla bla bla you know what I mean: the same 4 runewords everyone uses over and over again. All the same, if I had 2 hotos on one char I'd probably show them off in the trade screen too). He couldn't believe me when I told him I had never found a high rune, saying that he had found an ohm, a cham, and 2 vexes this season alone.
Apparently, he uses the find item skill on the high rune droppers: hephasto, council members, izzy, etc. in full games with his buddies. It makes a hell of a lot of sense, as runes are items, so it's logical that FI is the skill to use. But I never see barbs doing this kind of thing.
Am I so off base? Or is this common knowledge?
n.b. sorry if this is the wrong forum...I just thought cuz it's stat based it would go well here
