I've been pretty lucky so far.
Found a Ber in the chest behind Meph super early, like a week and a half after purchase. My sorc was still rocking some pretty budget gear still.
But I found a second Ber yesterday in Trav.
First run in dropped, almost stopped playing lol.

10,000+- runs in and I got my first HR in a solo game doing nilathak runs! Dropped out of a pot I broke while clicking the evil urn.
10K runs?!
Makes me want to quit the game if that’s what it takes

I doubt he was really keeping track of the number. Tasteful exaggeration, to be sure.
The truth is, you can't really estimate how long it'll take to get a high rune. The chance of a Jah or Ber dropping off any individual monster is so remote that the only reasonable strategy is to maximize the number of high level monsters you kill in any given play session.
I started farming cows with a poison necro a week ago and found 3 Jah runes in 6 days after finding 0 high runes since the start of the game on my blizzard sorc. RNGesus giveth and he taketh away.
I dodn't know how this is possible, but i was running cows for about 5 hours yesterday. Wasn't counting runs, but dropped two Lo and one Sur. i think i cried a little when that second Lo dropped.
Ber dropped from a random mob behind eldritch. Sur dropped from a lovely cow Lo from pindle minions (a few times)
Then other valuables often drops in Lower Kurast.
Sadly nothing dropped from Travincal yet (and i did a looooot of runs....)
Good Luck !
And today I only managed to snatch a single Mal in random public baalrun just because my Sorc was brave enough to be up and personal with the minions, Grats on your Ber, Best find I've seen in a while you had.
I never post here but since so many of yalI shared your story, I too have been spending 4+ hours a day doing runs like Baal and Chaos. Just yesterday i got 3x Amn and 5 Ort runes and a bunch of useless uniques. Well damn!

Forgot to mention like many of you, I almost fell out of my chair as well. From disappointment
Try changing farm area, when I get a high rune drop Pul or better, I consider an area depleted and move on just to have some variety. Basicly my strategy last 2 weeks was just doing mf in Pits and Mausoleum, then through the weekend I did some rune wonder runs in Chaos Sanctuary / Travi / Mefisto Council members / Arcane Sanctuary. In 2 days I got 1x Gul in Chaos 1x Pul in travi 1x Mal in mefisto chest and 1x Vex in Arcane Sanc chest. Then this week I'm just doing Pits and Mausoleum mf and I got a god damn Jah from the Pit on Tuesday. It was all Players 1
