I’ve been playing since launch and quite a bit. No runes are dropping above a Lem on Hell difficulty. Do other runes actually drop above Lem or is it bugged on console?
They do fall, but they are very rare. Raise your hand and be grateful when an Mal falls. Prioritize farming in places with a high density of mobs and that you eliminate them quickly. Cow level, Tal Rasha tombs, Sanctuary, are places with a lot of mobs.
In 20 years I’ve never seen anything better than a mal drop.
People tend to get lucky and nab them in 8 player games or trade for them.
It’s very very rare to find them playing solo online.
So far… x3 Vex from hell cows, Gul, Cham, and Zod from hell cows as well, Ohm from hell catacombs lvl 2 clearing to andy, x2 Jah, 1 from cows other from chaos sanc, about 5 Mal from cows/sanc/worldstone keep, ended up xmuting to get an Ist to make my CTA, 4 Puls, maybe 5, used some to up gear… my secret to finding so many runes is opening and killing as much as possible to wherever I’m heading. MF does nothing for rune drops, and regardless of what you may have heard neither does gold find, but… the main thing that increases your chance of a high rune to drop is simply increasing the amount of chances a rune will drop period. Such as opening coffins, rocks, chests, LOCKED chests, sarcophagus’, skull piles, etc. So dont leave any stone unturned IMO… has done me a great deal of fortune!

I’ve had a bunch of vex gul and ist each. A jah, ohm, and 2x Lo drop for me. My other high runes came from trading.
Most of my rune finds come from trav. My goldfind barb pushes against the join game timer and 55% hork. So it’s probably as efficient as rune farming can be.
If you are going to farm runes in other places the only things that matter is where you farm (density and spirits are what you’re looking for), your player count, and how quickly you kill. So baal runs are bad for runes, chaos/world stone is pretty good, cows is great.
Use the cube to make high runes don’t rely on them dropping
this is a bad plan for HR
