Find HIGH RUNES | Best Areas and Monsters - Results may shock you!

[@BumphreyYoughurt]

Gotta add a personal note here. I’m a family father and my gaming time is limited. But I keep statistics on my runs! I play hammerdin, and started out poor, online. To get high runes for my dream items (Enigma, of course, but also Hoto, CtA) I decided to go cows. I deemed it the best spot to kill as much as quickly as possible. I played solo and killed every cow. In 395 runs I got Lo, Cham, Cham, Ber, Lo and Sur. For that I could with HRs from before create Hoto and CtA, and trade for a Jah for the holy grail Enigma. After that my dream was true. So I decided to start boss runs to get my dream uniques. I do Andy, Trav, Meph, Diablo and Baal. I kill a lot of creep in sanctuary and (if good enemies roll) in Worldstone keep, to at least try and increase chances from runes as well. So far I have done almost 200 ”complete” runs. And how many high runes from that? ZERO. I can only conclude that, at least if you purely are looking for hogh runes, that Cow level is one of the best options.

[@NeesyPlaysGuitar]

I have the same experience, honestly. Cows OP.

[@test-rj2vl]

Had D2R made it easier? I never counted my runs but like 10-15 years ago when I played D2 LOD I would say that average income from cows when solo is like gul to vex per 400 runs.

[@olegil2]

@@test-rj2vl Now I'm curious. How many cows are there in the cow level?

[@mihau2622]

I had bad luck? ~200 Cow runs 5players and got only jah there. I prefer Travi where I found 2xlo vex cham sur and some lower like guls and ists in 300 games (one in every 40-50sec with hork)

*Tip* Dont use any cold damage on your Barb and Merc (no Fortitude) especially for Travincal so you can use Find item without an issue. I would say fallen camps in Pits level 1 have been very profitable for HRs, even on P1

[@brosephbroheim6428]

100% I need to change my merc up. I still get gold but I probably lose 20% of the council horks to freeze pops. Was also thinking I'd go with a Grief/6 Lem Phase Blade + full gf set up instead of just leaping. Need to get a Cham-Lem IK helm. I feel like it needs to be a 40% IK helm or it's not justifiable to use a high rune.

[@repsgsongs4562]

Pit, no luck at all, lvl 1 or 2

[@Yadeehoo]

P1 is the way to go for rune farming, more items drops take over the chance of rune drops.

[@froghermit9852]

@@Yadeehoo that is absolutely 💯 not how the game works my friend. Rune Drop chance is much higher in p7 games because the item Drop rate is almost double.

[@AwoudeX]

@@froghermit9852 sorry for the lateness of my comment, 7 players you'd need a top tier character for it to be justified or else your kill rate is just going to be way too worse. Just to illustrate, if you have a javazon spamming 1-2 fury and clearing screens of trash mobs on player 3 versus taking way longer for just a few extra drops. At player 3 or 4, almost every mob drops something.

[@Badkitty24]

I got pally geared finally and after 35runs i got a ber from council. ;)

[@reggenerator8]

My tip for Lower Kurast is to pop most of chests, logs, and bodies. Last week i got Ohm from a log

[@cortaeali8838]

Best way to explain the barb that yells at dead bodies is that when you use find item, it basically gives you a get a second chance for item drops on a previous kill to drop again. It's basically a reroll on the item drops for the mob you've killed. I go dual blade of ali baba for this cause, y'know, highest magic find with 2 weapons. :D

[@rafaelb.m.4756]

Even a very small amount of hours doing LK runs in players 8 has given me more high runes than I've dropped so far in D2R online.

For barb item finders you should have mentioned NOT to use Lawbringer and alike weapons with the "rest in peace" feature, and for switch weapons use a pair of Heart Carvers.

[@ewannoelkailevi4772]

Certain builds are very profitable for LK runs in terms of ... everything. A Hammerdin can quickly pop chests (especially if you have tele, can use Vigor) and many times the profitable stuff comes from the logs, skeles, chests, buckets, all the poppables. A Hammerdin can literally stop and spam a hammer field on p7/8 and grind xp well up to the early 90's. My Hammerdin actually found my 1st d2r HoZ off a skele in LK for example ... and you can farm the chests with pretty low risk because you don't actually have to kill anything if you don't want to.

[@zanido9073]

Best rune drop I ever got without botting was a Ber from... Dark Elder! If you're doing Tunnel runs, there are SO MANY enemies in that area, including Dark Elder, and the sheer number of creatures as well as champions and the aforementioned superunique make it a GREAT spot for everything from general magic find to rune hunting and even socketables if you want to go lower on the mf.

I did thousands of LK runs (until I got an Infinity), and I found a ton of good small and grand charms, a ton of bases, and I made 7 or 8 perfect Spirits (in terms of fcr), 2 of them in 40+ all res paladin shields. So yes, LK is a place where you can get a lot of good stuff besides HR's. However, it can be very frustrating, specially when you are in a dry spell and spend 10 hours farming without seeing any rune better than a Ko. It happens

Because it takes 15hours to have your best chance at getting one hr if you do the math....

[@soldierxgaming8753]

Why no pit from act1? Outside monastery? That has high lvl mobs and runes can drop there and good items also

[@IMP3TIGO]

This was obviously written by a guy who doesn't play battle.net much, or always has a bunch of people to play with which is unlike the experience for most players online. In general, no you are not going to be able to get a bunch of Gul runes by grushing 7 players at a time (lol please), nor will you be able to readily farm LK chests because if you haven't been playing in the last few months you might not realize how hard it is to consistently find group games online, and when you do, there is always another person or two popping super chests in LK. So yeah, Travincal is the best followed by Cows and Chaos.

[@aaronp9835]

Cows and Arcane have been amazing for me. After 600+ hours ive found alot

[@Atze.Tatze69]

even with few friends online, we did some sick runns as 3 friends. Joining the game, One kills Pindle/Eldrich, One checks LK-chests and One kills Trav. then when its cool, you can go on with: one kills Meph, One kills Andy, one makes Cow Portal, then we killed Cows and if you want you can go 3 players CS or Baal too, but this does take at least the time u could run another including Andy Meph Cow´s, so it depends, but it sure is fun and 3player drops are good and finding 3 players is totaly viable so is killing Bosses on players 3 with crap-gear, infact Trav players 3 is the hardest in my opinion. ...well sometimes Pindle can be a duckhead too

[@adidasxs]

man listening to you makes me fall asleep faster haha only good vibes ofc just such a nice voice ^^

[@justinjones5281]

Chaos is the number one spot. Highest frequency and consistency of drops coupled with finger mages and monster density. Cows are number 2 cause you can slam cows pretty quickly. Lower kurast is the lowest overall payout. I’ve played this game for almost 20 years lol

[@Robert-un3cf]

Agreed on LK sucks. Yes you can get some Sur runes eventually but it is soul crushing to do 1000+ LK runs and I'll never so kt again. Cows has been preferable for me, and IMO best. Having played many thousands of hours of D2

Great video, though I am confused why you left out Worldstone Keep + Baal. My luckiest rune drops have been cows, 1 Jah 1 Ber, few Lo's, Ohm's and a Cham across 15 yrs of playing. However, recently I've found a Ber + Jah and quite a few high runes from WSK. A well geared Javazon shreds this zone and there is a huge mob variation and lot's of density. Also giga xp.

[@lancejohnson3278]

Yeah confused why he left out WSK here. Mob density is bonkers and they all drop the goods. It's tough to bring a sub-par geared Java in there with the wisps being light immune, but once you have the gear to run WSK its a banger.

Here is where i've found HRs Pits : 2x Ohm Trav: 2x Lo Cows: Ber - Jah - Ohm Baal minions: Sur And ofc i've been getting anything under Vex on a regular basis.

[@bobnewkirk7003]

If you look up Ber in Silos and do some math you can work out that 1 ghost = 2 cows = 3 regular mobs. so by timing yourself out you can see just how many ghosts/cows/regular mobs per minute you can kill and that will give you an idea how good your spot is. Personally I run AS till I find the summoner, then head into the Tal's Tombs to pick off all the little skellies; remember 3 = 1 so if I wipe out a pack of 20 skellies its the same as a 6 pack of ghosts elsewhere, and there are WAY more skelly packs in tombs, as well as ghosts. Act 2 sucks to respawn in, so I do a quick tower run to finish the circuit.

[@eqbrim]

So one ghost is like killing 2 cows which is like killing 3 mobs? As far as rune chances go?

[@Frostbytedigital]

@@eqbrim not at all, OP is acting like if you have a mob with 1:50k odds and 6 mobs 1:300k odds, killing either is the same, which isn't how probability works. They are right about timing your mobs per minute but personally I put these values along with drop probability in a probability calculator along with how many of each mob I kill per minute and I can look at true probability. Essentially barb at Trav is supreme, java at cows is 2nd given my personal times/calcs. Now given all the math I've still gotten 90% of my highrunes from either LK or chaos playing singleplayer

[@bobnewkirk7003]

@@Frostbytedigital I plugged it into a calculator: for Ber ghosts are 1:356k, regular mobs are 1:1.1m. if you plug in 900 regular mob kills the prob of a hit is .000842 if you kill 300 ghosts the prob of a hit is .000821. They aren't equivalent but for a general rule the 1-2-3 works out. Ghost: 1 - (1 - 2.807860887340198e-6)^300 = 0.000842 Trash: 1 - (1 - 9.127327126142399e-7)^900 = 0.000821 Edit: Trav farming is excellent because of the odds on FI and is the way to go so long as we don't get rate limiting again. I will agree that most of my rune drops are from CS; though, I use a sorc so most of my time is in CS as well.

@@JJV7243 Exactly. You can get a lot of bad monster combos in the keep, but it's worth a peek to see if it's a manageable group.

Any advise for a lvl 74 pal? Working on resistances. Cant move to hell difficulty until i do. So im working nightmare. Still playing original version! On a 20 yr old computer. Lol.

[@richardhaw9757]

anybody else notice that the blood lords in world stone keep hit harder than they should? i dont recall them being this powerful in the original game, is this a bug?

[@thruntroll2983]

I think you're right

Number 1 strategy is Mr.lamasc is now selling… Made me laugh out loud so hard! 😆

[@milesg7877]

#1 is true, for multiplayer, join a baal series or cow series and its sometimes frowned on but smart players will always check real quick at the start then hop in for the run.

[@Bokaj01]

Got mine from all over the place. Act 2 tal rasha tombs, act 3 durance of hate lvls, Andariel throne room, act 5 pits (before patch 2.4) etc. Etc. Never anything from Arcane Sanctuary, Chaos Sanctuary or Lower Kurast, yet..

[@jordanhedgecock5599]

my question is when your rushing 7 ppl. they cant all do there forges in the same game? or can they? or do you really have to make 7 different games each time you get to forge? i feel most ppl dont wanna wait for you to collect on all 7. unless they all can do it same game. lmk i only ever rushed 1 person for that reason. never tried more

[@grimmace45]

Man tip #6 was a real shocker!

Is it still the case that if you kill cow king you can't create?

[@Ringmaster217]

Not anymore

[@juxyper]

how about the _new_ places though? some new lv85s will be added with 2.4, perhaps one with plenty of ghosts would do much better than the old ones?

[@mikkelsvendsen1778]

Typically looking for a circular map, campfires on tiles at each side of wp. With 200fcr you'll hit 15sec avg runs, possible with 120 as well. Requires you to go to a4 tho so see if you can get low load times as has been mentioned. Chances from LK are something like Ber (value) pr 700 runs if I remember correctly.

[@pedromota8221]

In LK runs on single player MF is important when you pop the chests ?

[@cmoor7928]

Another great piece of work, thank you!

Where can we find the best basis for socketable items? Eth 4os Giant threshers etc.

[@stonedstone7503]

Cows

[@Nosfeast]

Should I be doing these runs on players 1 or higher?Also does MF affect it at all either with or without it?If not id rather have the MF on to have that chance to still find other gear as well.Or should I just be going as fast as I can with full gear.

[@kasper1241]

If you include player trades like Grushing then you might as well include flipping items which if you're good at it will be by far the most effective way to get high runes.

[@Vismajor01]

Not really, grush you can do for yourself or with a friend with no money, but flipping items is a trade with another player who has money.

I tried drive by chaos and I'm not sure why it's not working. Sometimes the seals don't pop up bosses unless I hit both seals. Is there a time limit before you hit the last seal?

[@kennypaiement593]

I already dropped a Lo from the countess. I was so excited, not really because of the Lo rune, but just because its super rare. Something around 1 chance in 1.5m

Haha same. Guess both got lucky.

MrLlama, I need help. I'm running a zealot paladin and can't kill anything that's phys immune. can't get through the arcane sanctuary because of all the gd ghosts. i know about lawbringer on the merc or reaper's toll, but i haven't found a decent base for lawbringer and i haven't found reaper's toll. what can i do to carry on while i wait for something to drop that will take me to the next level?

[@Zeon7510]

A lower resist wand to cast it maybe, I believe it destroys the immunity. Or just a lawbringer for youself on switch (my fury druid uses that)

[@ichiwo1526]

I know magic find doesn't help with runes. But should I lower my magic find in cow runs to decrease the pool of items that can drop, thus increasing the chance of high runes. Or should I increase it even more to make sure that the pool doesn't just drop a high rate of white items, but balances out with uniques too, even though that might not necessarily affect the runes? Or does it not work like that? lol

[@MrLlamaSC]

doesn't work like that. :D Rune drop doesn't get help or hurt by MF. Separate thing

[@danhan121]

Only reason lowering MF will help for runes is if it allows you to run a higher skill character so you are able to players 7 the area or kill monsters quicker to get more overall drops

[@ichiwo1526]

@@MrLlamaSC That's unfortunate. Grinding it is then. Thanks for the reply.

I found a sur rune while doing a countess run a couple weeks ago. Such a crazy random drop lol

[@KalenTomlinson]

My method for chaos for only high runes would be a little higher on the list, assuming you have a teleport or a staff with tp charges on a pally only focuses the vizier of chaos seal for that huge spawn of finger mages is faster to quit out after looting and AOE farming them then it is doing the entire sanctuary and killing diablo

[@FlawlessRhythmGG]

After 20 years of playing on and off, I've only ever found 2 (maybe 3) high runes. Every runeword I've had was traded for from awesome uniques I find. I've found like 40 Mara's, but only a couple high runes... Wild.

[@MichaelPohoreski]

You my brother from a different mother? LOL :-) In the 24 years I’ve always found it faster to trade for runes to make runewords.
