I am doing some tests for fun and here are results from 1000 Countess Hell in Terror zones on /players 8 (lvl 99 countess) . The reason for higher player setting was to test her normal drop where she can drop anything up to Zod. My MF was 465%.

When mfing and rune farming always go with odd numbers. /p7 is way better than /p8

HP increase of monsters didnt matter for my char. For drops it doesnt matter if it is p7 or 8 unless you are in group together. Outside of group is p7=p8 drops. I was outside of group.
Do 100 Chaos runs on /P7 and another 100 on /p8. Regardless of what the experts say on Maxroll, every time /p7 will produce better drops.
Its pointless as there is no difference.
Also I am testing only boss and special monsters as they have changed loot most significantly in terror zone. I guess I should mention it.
I’ve done more that 100K Chaos runs on those settings over the last 20ish years, there is a huge difference. Do 100 each for Countess, there will be a big difference. I’m not speaking form what I read, but actual in game experience.
What difference lol? I was getting 6 drops on p8 practicaly every single time. You cant get more.
Unless you keep statistics, its not reliable. Sorry but I trust game files more than your experience

I am doing Andariel now in terror zone simulation of 1000runs and omg, its madness if you dont have her quest bugged. 250 runs in and I have uniq sacred armor, like 3 griffon, several tomb reavers…
Like look at this lol:
Isnt her quest perma bugged as standard now? It was an early patch I think for D2R.
No, they let that bug in game. They only changed her no qest drop TC line to quest one, so she has two same lines for No Quest and Quest drop.
But it means that quest drop line is overriding her Terror zone line if you quest bug her. Which you most likely did.
So I would say very tiny fracturre of player base actualy has proper Terror zone loot from her.
Is there a deep dive forum post somewhere that details what you just said, or some maxroll.gg page so I can read on it further?
Just read it. Makes sense. Not unexpected given Blizzards lack of understanding the game sometimes.
Wish they would update her to have quest bug applied to TZ.
Hard to test in Hell, maybe I’ll test in normal next season. If you do 100 normal Andy runs in TZ and don’t see any exceptional items, it’s pretty much confirmed. Your 15 tests to me aren’t statistically enough to have the level of confidence I want, but the theory is definitely valid!

As I stated there, its very unlikely you would not find any higher TC items as they have low chance to drop with higher TC lines in terror zones. Its not just me, other two people were doing runs too. I also done test offline that quest bug does exist, there is no question about it. Take this as fact. You can surely test it, but you will only waste time
Here you have drops from terrorized andy hell if you dont have screwed drops with that bug, quite crazy:
Do you think MF plays into rune drops as well? I feel like I was seeing more runes when going from lower level with no MF or gear to 660+ MF
My kill speed isnt an issue either…
My bad, I though you knew what it’s meant by better drops on /p7 compared to /p8. I knew you were a noob but I never realized how much of a noob. I should of explained to you the difference, but one day if you actually learn to play the game instead of playing with the game files you’ll figure it out. But I doubt it.
Mf isn’t used when the game checks for runes and the game always checks for runes before magic items. Runes drops are based on monster/clickable types, kill speed, number of players, number in party and RNG.
