Rune drop rate feedback

The rune drop rate feels really bad. There’s this excitement thats intended from getting sparks so that you can craft your first mythic, but in season 8, the bottleneck is no longer the sparks, but the runes. And it feels REALLY bad to have to trade billions of gold trying to trade runes from other people. The amount of gold people are asking for is absurd, I would have to play for dozens of hours farming gold alone to be able to craft one mythic. This seems like something that could be patched very quickly.

I have yet to be able to actually craft a mythic that I want, and the drop rates from bosses also seems to have been lowered. If not, then its very inconsistent.

I think an easy solution to legendary rune drops is to just also make them drop from certain bosses so that they’re farmable. Maybe not the best long term solution but certainly better than what we have right now.

agreed. i have killed lillith, unlocked all the boss powers, got my build online and thriving. Traded almost all of my bankroll for 1 legendary rune for my weapon and lucked into the 2nd one on my other weapon.

I lack motivation to push further because i can’t readily craft a mythic despite getting 2 sparks. Let the runes flow!

I agree and have experienced the same. Does anyone know if the Tribute that gives runes in the UnderCity drops anything other than blue?

there’s the gold one that drops yellow, but nothing that seems to drop legendary.

I hate the rune drop rate. Until this season it was no problem. I have 300+ boss kills, 100+ hours of gameplay, and I have 15 legendary runes. Looks like no mythic crafting for me. I am done with D4!
