Acording to what I've read, /p7 is best for Ber while /p5 is best for Lo. Sur isn't as much useful, so I would make this a deciding factos for the /p setting chosen. I'm not doing LK runs often though, even though I'm on single player, it's too tedious. Superchests are nice for gems, jewels, charms and rares, however... and gold, as we have autopickup in D2R. Regarding Councils: The best fire protection is the Rising Sun amulet. When wearing it, you are basically immune to the hydras of the Councils, even at negative fire resists. In fact, the fire absorption will heal you! Also, once only the cold immune council is left, your cold sorc can put him in hit recovery with telekinesis.

What I tend to do on my blizzsorc for travincal council is going first where they are, let's say inside, then cast glacial spikes since freezing multiple/aoe'ing helps merc stay alive. Then after like 3 GS casts/when they have all spawned their hydras, I tp outside to line of sight the hydras, blizzard the ones that are there and spam GS until hydras start to spawn outside. Then tp back in to line of sight again etc etc. Essentially going back and forth depending on where the hydras are and this has been a very fast and efficient killing strategy for me. Not once died or taken alot of dmg since I started doing this. Try it out and I hope it works as well for you guys that it does for me!

Love your content! Been farming a HELL lot of travi myself, on a blizz sorc. The first 100+ runs i did like you: teleporting all over the place to keep my merc alive, while periodically dropping blizz. But i found out if you use a couple of sec to bait out all the hydras at 1 spot, and then tele so you 'line of sight' the hydras, u can just nuke all the council members super quick without your merc being in trouble (unless council has conviction aura). If i remember correct hydras dmg is like 400% to mercs compared to players. When i started doing this my runs became noticeable faster.

The amount of players that has the most patterns that contain HR's is 3-4 that is why LK is specifically 3-4 for best odds for HR's (it is only for those SUPER CHEST) as the super chest are not effected by anything else other than the patterns / players (MF also doesn't work for the super chest)

Just thought I'd mention that at 3:10 you mention some statistics for the Lower Kurast superchests noting you may be wrong, and you are but that's okay! The odds are even better than what you mentioned! There are about 84 known drop patterns for Pul to Ber runes out of 65,536 patterns. This means there is a 1:780 chance of getting one of these runes from a single superchest. But if you reroll your map as mentioned to get two sets of bonfire huts, that nets you 6 superchests in total per LK run, which nets you at about 1:130 chance of getting one of these runes each run. Note that these stats are for /players7 drops.... Number of drop patterns on players 7 for those who wanna know (update this in comments if anything has changed BTW): Ber: 3 Sur: 11 Lo: 2 Ohm: 5 Vex: 6 Gul: 11 Ist: 7 Mal: 15 Um: 10 Pul: 14 Also just saw this video is old news as it was posted last year in 2021, but screw it. Hope this comment helps folks. Also, don't be afraid to check poppables for runes as well. Chances are obviously lower than superchests, but from personal experience I got nearly half my high runes (Gul, Vex, Ohm, Sur, and yes, a Ber) from poppables so far. Just don't waste time each run going for every poppable on the map as you're better off starting a new run. Peace.

In reallity to understand how chances work in games like Diablo you need to understand the difference between open and closed chances. A closed limit chance means that you are guaranteed a loot in every 100 runs. So if Mephisto drops 10 items with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10% chance means that in 100 runs you are guaranteed 1 of item 1 , 2 of item 2 ..... and 10 of item 10. On the other hand if chances are open you are not guaranteed anything at all. This means that you might drop a 10% item in 10.000 runs or even 0 or even 50. The chances are a metric used to show you a rough estimate based on other people's findings. In such games you play and pray. Same works for WoW. Some people farmed for thunderfury since its release on the same character and found 0 or 1 pieces.

My arbitrary goal when I picked up D2 recently (not D2R; I'm playing oldschool offline with plugy) is just to finish hell difficulty with every class. I did a bit of Mephisto mf'ing with a sorceress to get some uniques, and while playing through Hell with 6 classes I haven't gotten anything higher than a Gul rune. But it's fine because I haven't needed any to finish the game yet, and I only have barbarian left at this point.

@@fartdonkey8290 Yeah, I gave up on infinity too, which I really would have wanted for Amazon and Sorceress setups. Instead I had to opt for a less powerful hybrid setup to wrap up Hell on the Sorceress (Lightning + Frozen Orb), and get some decent gear to swap to for lightning immunes on my Amazon (a lucky Thundergod's Vigor drop also helped).

Helpful video. Still, I don't get it: statistically speaking if you count 1min/run (incl load times), you'd still spent 22 days x8h with nothing else to get that 1 rune. How can people afford spending (and not getting bored) 1 or several months of pure repetitive farming? Crazier still: How can people do such in ladder?

Why would player 8 be less optimal? Doesn't that just decrease non-drops, meaning you roll more chances of the rune? Isn't that strictly better? I am legit asking cause I don't know.

@CarlosGonzalez-lc8tu2 жыл бұрын
This is only efficient if you can kill them all in under 1 min using a char specifically designed to killing them. Like a posion necro or a hammerdin. Just jump in cast skill all die reload. 90% of the time at least one of them will be immune to cold so its not a good idea. But anyway the best way to find runes is to kill mass amounts of enemies like at cows.
@GaaraVII2 жыл бұрын
Problem with cows on battlenet/online density is so low when play solo and multiplayer all other people with steal your loot
@lefgia2 жыл бұрын
The best way to find runes is to pick the area with the highest drop chance that you are most efficient killing. If you play a hammerding, who is average at clearing density areas like cows but apsolute king in killing boss packs, then travincal on the long run will average you more high runes. To make it simple, lets say each travincal minion/boss has 20% chance to drop a high rune and a cow has 1% for a high rune. Travincal has say 10 members and cow level has 400. This means that on average, every travincal run will give you 2 high runes and every cow run will net you 4. This doesnt mean cow lvl is better for runes. Lets say a player can clear travincal in 1 minute and cow lvl in 3 minutes. This means that on average, for every 3 minutes he spends on farming, Travincal will net him 6 runes and cows will net him 4. For this specific player (class/gear) its more efficient to farm travincal.

I used to always get some type of rune out of the Lower Kurast chest, however lately, no matter how many times I run it, no runes drop at all.
@akashic73482 жыл бұрын
How are those drop chances calculated? Are they just data fed from players? Because if so I wonder if the monsters with "higher" chances like the council aren't just because there's more people farming them and better data. I've gotten stuff like mal and lem from random monsters but generally I see that players skip most of the enemies and focus on bosses or unique bosses.

The super chests have never given me anything above a TAL rune, but the random chests and corpses have given me 2 MAL, 1 IST, and 1 OHM rune since D2R release. From my 20+ years of playing this game it just comes down to dumb luck when these things will drop if ever. The drop rates for items in this game need to be modernized since it's not 100% true RNG.
