6. Takeaways

- I started the challenge going straight to

The Countess upto run 620. It was when I saw two runs before me (mikelessar's stats here and Florian_G's stats here) showing High rune drops from unique/champion mobs on their way to Countess that I changed my approach also. And yeah I sure lucked out on the

Sur drop just when I'm nearly finished with the challenge. With this result and the two previous 1000 Countess runs before me, you can say that adding a minute or two in killing the unique and champion packs that pass your way is doable in running Countess.

- My runs become longer after the 620th run but my drops of Worldstone shard increased a lot also.
:

Western Worldstone Shard (7 in 620 runs) at 37 upon challenge end. 30 shard gain for the next 380 runs.
:

Eastern Worldstone Shard (6 in 620 runs) at 34 upon challenge end. 28 shard gain for the next 380 runs.
:

Southern Worldstone Shard (4 in 620 runs) at 16 upon challenge end. 12 shard gain for the next 380 runs.
:

Deep Worldstone Shard (3 in 620 runs) at 15 upon challenge end. 12 shard gain for the next 380 runs.
:

Northern Worldstone Shard (2 in 620 runs) at 16 upon challenge end. 14 shard gain for the next 380 runs.

-

Black Marsh has lots of shrines so ready some

Flawless Amethyst as some of those will be Gem Shrines. I found 35 Gem Shrines in total.

- You may want to check on the Armor stand and Weapon Rack for runeword bases (tho in my case most of the good ones are from the Armor stand with those multiple 3os Tiaras and a 3os Sup

Diadem). Came in pretty helpful for my other chars, especially for my

Abyss warlock (2os +3

Abyss, +2

Consume

Grimoire) and Paladin (45 res

Sacred Targe)

- Started the challenge with Lvl 85 Sorc and ended at Lvl 89. Unless Terrorized, Countess runs won't give you great XP. You're better off leveling at

Baal runs or TZ areas for exp farm.

- Countess dropped no runes 27 times, 1 rune 304 times, 2 runes 473 times, 3 runes 193 times, 4 runes in only 3 times.

Welp that was a fun challenge to do and hope this statistic helps to other players.
Thank you again for showing your stats @mikelessar and @Florian_G else I would be running straight to Countess all the time and wouldn't have seen a natural

Sur drop any earlier

Great write-up! Thanks for sharing the detailed record of yours.

My hats off to all you guys that did the challenge and showed us the results.
