My highest so far is ‘io’ rune. I just made a 'Lum" rune from 3x ‘io’ runes and a flawed Topaz.
Killed Andariel Hell last night all on Solo.
I beat the whole Nightmare becoz of multiple Amn, Thul, Ort and Sol runes.
The main key on how I beat Act 1 Hell is becoz of the Lum rune. Now I am on Act 2, and I believe the mobs here are getting harder and harder. I would need Ko runes to start to drop… or give me 3x Lum runes to make one.
I just turned Level 72 last night. Does high level runes drop according to your level or according to your gear or according to difficulty? If I could get Cham and Jah runes right now, I would faceroll the whole Act 2. But I dont need those runes for now. Just want Lum and Ko runes to start dropping right now… and even Fal and Lem.
Sorry I have to say No to Multiplayer. I dont want carries… or cheat to get ‘Ber’ runes or my current Solo games would become faceroll.
luck and playing more. monster level has something to do with it so the level of the monsters being higher grant better chances for higher runes but it’s just RNG and playing more. there are certain runes people do like “The Countess” to specifically target areas which are more likely to drop runes but there’s no real easy way. i grinded my paladin up to about level 85 before i started getting more useful items, i was mostly wearing all rares and low tier unique items up to that point.
Yeah… this is a bit harder, but it drops! I’ve take Sur, Vex, Lo, Cham, Ist … all droping killing Tower, Cow Level… Bosses isn’t better option to drop Runes! Do towers on Hell… You can drop all content, but first hit level 85 and farm, farm and farm! This is a RNG game, so you have 1 in 200.000 chances to drop some HR… Good luck!
You farm and farm and farm, if the game deems it, it will drop a rune for you, MF% does not apply to rune drops, rune drops are completely and 100% random and RNG something you cannot target farm.
In my entire career of playing D2LoD and D2R I have never, seen a rune drop higher than Ist.
it is what it is.
Can confirm. Some sessions, rune drops like crazy, most oftentimes, not at all or very few. Sometimes I’ll get sets, uniques, most oftentimes, none at all.
It’s completely random. Hence the RNG. MF helps but it’s notguaranteed.
It’s possible complete on one or two weeks, but best items should be more! Anyway in month or two farming a lot, as you can’t drop a HR rune, you can trade these items for runes and you will be finished… But if you want the best items with the best stats, you will take a LONG, LONG time to do! So, it’s even possible ppl getting 20 years to get all your characters full with BIS and best stats the game can drop! LOL
But let’s think about, there’s 5 million ppl playng the game every day… killing a lot of mobs, drop a Ber with 1:200.000 isn’t too impossible, right? So you can trade good items that you can drop for a Ber or a Jah with another ppl that want your item… It takes a while to guys didn’t use more Ber that they got, but in one time it will happen and you will could trade for one… It’s the game!
pick an area lvl 85 and farm it without thinking about the numbers. itll drop eventually.
i enjoy chaining chaos sanct runs and it’s given me Ber Lo Gul(s) Ist so far
add some MF in the mix to spice things up inbetween rune drops.
Yeah, I eat Torment 15 for breakfast in there. Leveled up at Torment 10, reached Torment 15 while leveling before reaching max level. ROFL.
D3 progress is dictated by your skills/reflexes and some patience. D2 progress is dictated mostly by RNG and by patience skills up to martyrdom level. I will see how high I would go. ROFL.
That 1/200,000 is mobs you kill.
That’s why speed is king when it comes to runes. There are locations and mobs that can help you with a better chance to find loot, but ultimately, it’s how much time you’re willing to spend.
i’ve found most of my runes opening chests in the catacombs. there are so many chests and unique monsters in there it’s just a time efficient area for me to maximize the amount of objects that an item will drop from. i take 24 keys and kill every unique monster and open every chest and flip every body. ohm/vex/jah/sur from catacombs
To get Lums and Ko, go back to Nightmare and farm the Countess’s Tower. She drops as high as Io but I have gotten a Lum from her. And got a Ko on the way to her.
But even if you don’t get those runes naturally, you should be able to farm up enough Dol’s, Hel’s, and Io’s to cube up enough Lum’s to cube up a Ko.
I’m not sure if you’re playing on-line or off-line.
I’ve been playing off-line and found that it’s okay to /players8 the game through Lvl 4 and part of Lvl 5 but once you’ve cleared the two side rooms, you’ll want to lower back to /player1. For some reason, her higher runes drop more frequently in a single player game.
Since you can’t /player 8 on-line, it’ll take longer to find the tower and get through the maps. But yeah, Countess works if what you’re looking for are just Lum’s and Ko’s because you can cube them up from the runes she drops.
I made some progress on my toon (all on Solo). io rune was my highest rune drop last time. I made a Lum rune out of io runes. After fixing my Resistance, I made more progress on Act 2 Hell. The other night the game dropped me Mal and Ko runes. So I said to myself that I am making a progress. Then tonight, behold, the game dropped me a Ber rune… clearly my highest rune that dropped on me. I will just repeat what I am doing and I am positive that I would get more runes.
Mal and Ko runes were dropped from Act 2 dungeons while doing the campaign. And so is Ber rune before Tal Rasha tomb stage on Act 2. The highest rune that Countess dropped for me is io rune so far. Nightmare Cows highest runes on me are Shael and Dol.
With this, I only need more play time. I think I could beat the game. I was even able to kill mobs immune to me. It was fine. I became a pure solid tank while my Merc kills them all.
ROFL. I still wanna see how far I would go.
