Re: Where to find a Matri Pike?
They can be dropped in NL ( actually, I think I found one a few days ago ), and you're doing the right runs for this...
The hell cows drop it 1:14073, and as a comparison, Act 4 venom lord ( hell ) drop it 1:15484
There's not much difference for the regular monster's odds of dropping this.
Hell cows are the best with 1:14k, and the worst are wretched defilers, with 1:25k
Your best bet is just to kill as many monsters as fast as possible.
If you kill special monsters, well, Baal hell drop it 1:368...
But you'll kill WAY more than 42 hell cows (15484 / 368 = 42) by the time you kill baal, making the cow run better than baal runs.
If you kill the monsters all the way to baal, maybe, just maybe you get better odds, overall, with the lower odds of the monsters, and the awesome odds from baal ( along with other items :thumbup: ).
But there's also the easy/hard thing to consider. Cows are much easier than baal runs.
Basically, if you're having any difficulty at all in baal runs, just do cow runs.
If you're owning baal run easily... Don't know. I'd say cows are still better, because you kill hundreds of them in no-time.. but it's hard to count/figure.
