The other LO ive found was from the chest behind Mephisto.

For the people considering LK runs: I did this 2 years ago on Single Player and my aim was to do nothing else but LK runs til I had Infinity and Enigma. To entertain myself I brought the Harry Potter audio book just to have something to focus on. 40 - 50 seconds on average per run on players7 and my first Ber dropped on Chapter 2 of Book 6!!! (and it was the German version read by Rufus Beck which is waaaay longer than the English version). So .... don't do LK runs guys, it will cost your soul! At least I was entertained ... the HP audio books are really nice ^^

[@alexeyvlasenko6622]

Short story: everything up to and including Ist - run Countess on appropriate difficulty. Gul, Vex and maybe Ohm are reachable with some dedication by smashing Hell Countess runes together. Anything above Ohm, you will never see unless you have literally thousands of hours to sink into the game, or trade with someone who does (or use bots or find a way to cheat), but best chance is areas with very high monster counts like cows, since you literally have to kill 100,000 monsters on average before you see a high-level rune.

Get high runes in 1 million easy steps: 1) buy d2r, 2) spend x amount of hours leveling your character high enough to play the hell difficulty, 3-999999) die multiple times before realizing you need to level more, 1000000) play 200-300 hours just killing stuff hoping that RNGesus loves you(because, at this point, everyone else outside of the group you do runs with thinks you're an a-hole), 1000001) decide your character isn't good enough to do this whole rune farming thing and repeat steps 2-1000000 and hope the next build is better

Just kill every random elites/champions you see on the way while you do whatever you are doing. Random zombies dropped me Vex on the way while I was searching for the tower. Also a random pack dropped me a Shako while I was on my way to Baal. Both of those were "skippable" monsters if you try to "farm fast". Just slow down and kill stuff on the way if you see elite packs, it's worth it in the long run.

[@IcarusHollow]

definitely always worth it if you can efficiently kill them. i believe unique or champion mobs also have a tc bonus of +[1-3] too, which just increases the odds of something nice

[@michaelbyrne8238]

Some important notes with cows is that it is also great for white bases. But also it is safe and it is very cheap and fast to farm with a javazon. The combination of density, speed, safety, and cheapness makes it so good for rune running.

[@handledhandlehandlinghandler]

Found a Jah in Trav and a Ber off of a ghost in the tower within a month of each other (single player PlugY). Happiest summonmancer, ever. Now after a Lo for a Grief. Scored a Lo after a streak of Mals and Vexes. Now I have a slaughtermonkey zealer and a porta-trapsin. These two runewords lived up to the hype. Good times.

[@afadingdream9675]

Your tip about ghosts in Arcane Sanctuary was great. I went into a game with 5 people and got an Ohm rune almost immediately, followed by a Sol and a Lem.

Thank you for your info. I’m stuck in act 3 in hell mode. This is the furthest I’ve gotten. I will be trying this.

[@skykur]

I found a lem rune today and I’ve never felt more accomplished

[@jujuliolezesuiglaz1780]

Regarding chaos runs there is the seal popping technique allowing you to insta-kill monsters in the area when you activate the last seal. The thing is that only monsters up to close to two screens away from you will drop items (with 0 MF, but since you're looking for runes who cares). But the game considers the monsters active for drops if you've been close to them in a span of something like 7 seconds. First pop a portal at the bottom of chaos, the game considers it to be like an active player; then kills the seals' bosses and leave the last portal. Before you do activate this portal just teleport around to activate monsters' drops and then activate this last portal to insta-kill monsters and just look around for the dropped loot.

[@adamorly2971]

[@njmfff]

I usually find runes in: (by act): Act 1: two crypts where you fight Blood Raven, Catacombs 1-4, Jail 1-3 and obviously Countess\Tower. Act 2: Rocky\Dry Hill\Far Oasis, Snake Temple, Arcane S, Valley\Canyon and Tombs (all seven) Act 3: Kurast (any), Trav, Durance of Hate 1-3 Act 4: Entire act 4, especially Plains of Despair and City of the Damned as they often spawn with Ghosts Act 5: Halls of Pain\Anguish, Crystal Passage, Ancient's Way, Worldstone Keep 1-3

[@norcal7075]

Found Zod on hell cows last week, first zod in my entire D2 career

[@streaksoflight]

Travincal Council can only drop up to Cham. However, the drop rate for high runes on Council is amongst the highest in the game, second only to Ghosts or Wraiths. If you have a good Blizz sorc or a decent Zealer with Laying of Hands, it by far one of the most efficient places to farm for high runes. However, you'll probably have to do like 1000+ runs to have a good chance at one high rune or more. Council is also very good for charms and Rainbow Facets + gold for gambling.

[@JeEhaO]

Chaos is the most fun place to farm, it is right next to the wp and you just tp in and kill stuff within seconds. Chaos requires decent gear though to be quick because you will encounter Lighting, Fire and Cold immunes. I run a Frozen orb and Meteor sorceress with a strong mercenary which deals with most cold+fire immunes in seconds. I do not recommend fire or lightning only for chaos without extremely good gear with a lot of -resistance because there are ware too many enemies for your mercenary to handle. You can do Chaos as Blizzard but your mercenary will need to kill all Oblivion Knights which in some games is a mess because there can be A LOT of them. I got a Ber rune from my last set of Chaos runs.. =)

I haven't seen anything official stating they have, but I'm already a few Ber runes in personally. Still played bnet up until recent pre d2r, and never had such luck.

[@johant73]

dunno. but on my sorc play thru normal i find 4 dol. and 0 sol. no area repeat. my first sol are in hell 😅.

[@InsideOut887]

I thought the same. I found a Vex from trash mob otw to Baal. Some runs after that i found Um and Ist at throne of destruction in between 5mins. Both solo NM On the other hand hell countess gave me Sol as highest so far (like 5-10 runs) so maybe it was just rly lucky rng

@@InsideOut887 I'm still in NM with only one character. My first unique was from an armor stand in countess' tower on normal. I am REEEEALLY digging the shared stash. I can't tell you how happy I am I don't have to 'xfer' to mules anymore. I do wish that runes and gems were stackable, though.

[@InsideOut887]

@@Talon771 My first unique was Gull dagger from a chest in the blood moor. I wear it since than with my Necro now lvl 82. Guess its about time to personalize it lol Yeah they totally should make runes/gems stackable! And also add more shared chest space. At least 10 tabs imo. Since we had the opporunity to make infinite mule accounts it would take nothing from the original game experience

[@anthonyk7924]

I’ve played for 20 years and don’t think I’ve ever had travencal drop a rune. I have had several characters over 90 because you couldn’t reset your skills, and because of the armor and weapons I have found. The rune words came out. Now the remastered version is out and CPUs are nuts expensive so playing on consul. Starting all over now. So frustrating having nothing.

Crazy, whenever I watch these videos, he finds GG items. When I run it over and over I see nothing, feels bad.

[@Boomkinization]

For HRs (and any item in general), the amount of time you spend farming is much more important than the location you choose to farm. Play more = better items.

[@XeroJin84]

Not exactly… you can farm He’ll Meph without killing other things for months and you have allowed odds of finding a high rune than spending that time doing cow runs. Also, you can spend time farming NM and have 0 odds of finding a high rune. It’s not just about your play time - which is what you’re saying. Also items are based on item level, you literally can’t get some items by farming certain areas. Thanks for oversimplifying it though.

[@deangrogan7735]

Best drop for me so far is getting a Gul from Hephastos and then another Gul from the forge moments later. Good day.

Super chests are always worth it

[@Pahli1234]

It‘s still superchests. So if you feel like it, by any means go. But compared to SP it‘s trash since the map is randomly generated so you need to search and take probably 3-4x as long as on a good SP map. Also no /players 8

[@exofive]

Can you elaborate on the build and gear?

[@your_eulogy2688]

@@exofive max nova, light mastery, telekinesis, energy shield, 1 frozen armor, 1 warmth, get a lot of mana and damage reduction/magic damage reduction gear. Flat reduction is nice but % works too. Spirit sword, Vamp gaze, gladiators bane, Gerkes shield or spirit, viper magi, sting of ears, frost burn gauntlets, silkweave boots. Socket everything with sol runes for max damage reduction. Strength enough to wear gear, dex enough for gear (gonna experiment with max block myself later) nothing into vitality and everything into energy and you never die except mana burn and poison sucks max poison res. Pray merc+insight for super nice regen helps against poison. Making another sorc to play with the build and get frozen orb too possibly. It's great for key farming and the demi bosses but not good for solo or boss damage. I recently respec'd bliz to farm Chaos Sanctuary, Baal my merc takes care of immunes but it's slow. Obviously you can swap out certain items for more damage less tank or more mf all depends on what u need. 105 FCR is a MUST and 86 FHR should be achieved also. But again I ran the build with bad gear at 1st and worked up to the better gear. ALL WITHOUT INFINITY. Infinity would make this build gg I think and I'd probably go less into ES and TK and put the points into lightning. Definitely sounds like and is odd gear for a sorc but the damage reduction and ES + TK make it insane. Definitely not a huge damage build. I had around 1k damage novas with not many +skills on gear like you usually do on the sorc. Shako is great for Mana life and DR. Spirit monarch gives more FCR and +Skills so I ended up using that after the Gerkes. Had 2k mana before my BO from CTA

Chaos, cow, any high level area. Kill everything and open them chest... do whatever is easiest for your character to clear.

Go to high density area, kill as many things as possible in the shortest amount of time possible, brute force the drops, you'll get runes.

Same odds but it should be faster on single since you always have the same map. Find a lower kurast map with 2 bonfires as close to the tp as possible. Then pop those chests over and over and over... and over. Don't forget to set the game to players 8.
