would you guys recommend doing countess runs or all bosses rounds? I think the calculations is mass numbers+probability.
so is meph, or nhil, or worldstone have better success rates than say countess or trav?

goodluck, and may the RNG god be with you.

Then again, I play HC.
which means more probability drop rates already no? how much is the ratio between softcore:hardcore drops anyway?

No the rates are the same. I just meanI value survival much higher than the average softcore player, and that I periodically lose all my gear.

my highest is
Sur
and
Ohm
all from Durance 2 and 3 but thats where I run the most so I'd say just pick some place to farm, I got a cute skiller from LK the other day so I traded a
Sur
+
Ist
and cube my first
Ber

I haven’t done countess runs after starting trav runs. I had done a lot for keys, was lucky to find one
Lo
. Otherwise maybe one
Mal
. My rune luck with her was terrible, and
Lo
is as good as she gets and like most things it’s like a small lottery win. I’d try elsewhere unless you’re
Key
farming.

I think about it like this. How many countess runs do you need to find 25-35
Ist
runes? Because that is how many you’d need to match the value of finding a single
Ber
or
Jah
elsewhere. Either way it ends up being more time and determination than luck, but elsewhere you can also find items to trade for runes too.

I play 99% solo. Highest rune I found was a
Sur
in cows. I also got 2x Ohms, one from cows, one from Pindle (Gasp! He still does Pindle Runs! What was the life like during The War old man?). I also got a
Vex
from a Carver on the way to Countess, and probably 3 Guls.

In terms of "worth it", hard to quantify as so much is based on your Faith in RNGesus. I mean, the one SoJ I found was in Act 1, on a Countess run...in Nightmare mode.
7
i would say 50/50 solo or public cow games and i found
Jah
Ber
Sur
2
Ohm
in
Arcane Sanctuary
(cow runs) only. highest rune in single player was an
Ist
in pits.

I'd say both work well but technically trav has better rates. I do recommend countess tho bc you get more immediate gratification, and sometimes that's what you need to keep motivated

Considering HR as
Ohm
+ - i only found
Sur
from Meph.
From usable runes there also was a
Gul
,
Ist
, 2 Mals, 1
Um
and a number of Puls since D2R start.
All Players 1.

My harvest:

Solo
-
Jah
,
Ber
(Cows)
-
Sur
(Treasure behind Meph)
-
Vex
,
Ohm
,
Cham
(HC)
- another
Vex
random anywhere

Multi
- nothing ... but I saw a
Jah
,
Lo
and
Ohm
dropping, but was not fast enough to loot it

In multiplayer games, I have experienced that it is ultra hard to get loot. Everything is about speed and that honestly stresses me out. Many rush through the maps, missing half the mobs and being very selfish.

In solo mode, I can go at my own pace. Even if the drop chance is lower, the chance of getting loot is higher.

So here's my math

If there are 400 cows in a cow run, here are the amount of runs on average to find the following rune, OR HIGHER:

Pul
: 61
Um
: 77
Mal
: 93
Ist
: 117
Gul
: 142
Vex
: 184
Ohm
: 228
Lo
: 304
Sur
: 393
Ber
: 580
Jah
: 851
Cham
: 1773
Zod
: 6402

In the same way, as there are 4 real high council members in a Trav run, here are the amount of runs to find any rune or a higher rune:

Pul
: 710
Um
: 892
Mal
: 1077
Ist
: 1364
Gul
: 1660
Vex
: 2153
Ohm
: 2685
Lo
: 3629
Sur
: 4741
Ber
: 7181
Jah
: 10934
Cham
: 26259
Zod
: 400137

IE if you do 2153 runs, you're likely to find a
Vex
rune or higher.

I have a feeling I might have missed something. My math goes like this:

I've checked the GGmaxroll chance to drop the runes above for a real high
Council Member
(like Ismail), then I multiplied that chance by 4, since there are 4 real high council members. I then added the whole column from
Pul
to
Zod
up and got a one in 710 chance to drop a
Pul
or higher. I then added the whole column up, excluding
Pul
, and got a one in 892 chance to drop an
Um
or higher. Then I went all the way up to
Zod
and there we go.

What annoys me about this calculation is that I read a post by some guy who found a high rune every 400-500 runs. He had done thousands of runs so I kinda feel like his math is repeatable.

Obviously, cow runs are better per run, but you can do trav runs much faster, and with a larger variety of characters.
