Well, the topic in itself is a generator of frustration, envy and miscommunication. :D

Rikus, considering how much you played (four chars level 70+) and I did (one char level 90, my three others are around 20 to 30) I think we could be in a similar situation as for gaming time (for me, 3-4 hours a week, but as much to trade).

But I started trading at mid-Nightmare with my main, so really early.

Now, after 200-ish sales and purchases, I am clearly in the third part of your post, even if clearly less rich than many of the users here.

The goal is not to brag at all, just to say that ALL my Wealth is built on tradings.

Set pieces, bases bring me pgems and mid runes. Countess also is a great place to farm for mid runes and gems.

40 pgems ->
Ist
, 15 PAmethysts ->
Ist
, 25 Rals ->
Ist
are trades that I did several times each.

And after that, DClones killing brought me Annis, kept the best ones, sold the others. The source may vane now with the ladder Annis coming, but anyway it has brought a lot up to now.

Also sold quite a lot of keys. And geared up. And have been also helped by richer generous players. And have to say the community of this side has always been welcoming and nice to me. :)

As for "natural" runes seen, I have seen one
Ohm
(in 3 p with my two comrades, so "shared" loot), one
Vex
(same), and one natural
Ist
solo (Countess, gave me one
Mal
too). One of the two buddies got
Gul
at Hellforge. Everything else is below
Mal
.

tl;dr : trading is the path to e-Wealth. :) Hope you'll get there too soon.

The more I read through this, the more I believe there's a distinct difference in interpretation in that the OP is looking at "absolute numbers of runes self-dropped" whereas everyone else is looking at "overall value".

Case and point, OP is still noting to be "poor" by his own definition but at the same time says he found a
Mal
and more importantly a
Lo
. In terms of absolute numbers (2 runes), sure, that hits the "poor" definition here. But for everyone looking at the actual value, thanks to a
Lo
being far, faaar more than 10
Mal
by itself, it very easily already hits and far exceeds the definition of "rich" being proposed here.

if you count only runes i have in my stash, I am super poor - atm only
Gul


if you count runes I have in my gear I am pretty rich - spent like 15-20bers on my gear

What @schnorki said.

rikus, I trade but my gear (and 90% of my crafting runes) is solo self-found in online play. I've dropped
Zod
, 2
Jah
, 4...5?
Ber
,
Sur
, at least 5
Lo
, and 3-4
Ohm
. I've traded for at least another
Jah
and a couple of
Lo
, maybe a
Ber
.

I don't consider myself lucky. There are techniques to improve your chances for HR drops, which I don't use. If part of your thinking for this thread was to learn from people who get the high runes, my advice is to get a character you're comfy with and farm high-density areas. I did it just for magic-finding better gear; the runes were a side-effect. But you need an efficient character. A clawsin isn't going to be nearly as effective as a blizz sorc, for example.

All prices negotiable. BIN always wins. Americas (Pacific), but int'l trade times can be arranged.

Jesus christ boi, are you barb horking Chaos and wsk? I have heard stories of people finding many a
Jah
/
Ber
but I can't seem to find it. Now mind you, I hate people so I play alone so my drop rate is severely hampered...but still. Share the knowledgean! :p

I am available for trading every other week, limited trading on my off week.
Thanks for understanding.

Like I said, solo self-found on bnet. The first
Jah
was a standard playthrough with my first d2r character (trapsin,
Maggot Lair Level 3
). The second
Jah
was probably on the same character, mf in CS. Pretty sure almost all the
Ber
runes were in
Travincal
from non-council champions/uniques...maybe one was elsewhere? Most of the
Lo
drops were from
Mephisto
's Durance 3 council.

Just mf with a blizz sorc and a trapsin. The only secret to HR drops besides horking trav or LK runs is kill a lot of stuff.

[edit]
Zod
was a random trash mob in CS.

All prices negotiable. BIN always wins. Americas (Pacific), but int'l trade times can be arranged.

I have a bliz sorc, countless runs through CS and WSK. I've just recently started running Trav with my bowazon. I have found 1
Ber
from a White ghost mob in arcane. Sigh, the rng gods are not with me lol

I wouldn't call 10+
Mal
rich. That doesn't even get you a
Lo
.

I'd consider 5+
Ber
overlaps (meaning you already have Enigma+Infinity) rich.

ALWAYS open to other offers if you feel I’m asking for too much or if you do not have exactly what I am looking for.

Yeah theres a giant difference between 10
Mal
and 10 combined
Lo
,
Sur
,
Ber
,
Jah
. One can farm at a casual rate running around, the other has Enigma and is jetting around hunting elite packs efficiently.

btw i didn't find
Lo
..went over all my chars online. so this discussion is void in anycase. it doesn't reflect the community. well, the majority of this trader community.

goodluck, and may the RNG god be with you.

10 runes above
Mal
isn't rich.

I have 14 level 92 characters and I found way more than that just leveling them up.

I'd say, after making Infinity and Enigma, how many runes above
Vex
do you still have?

I agree with this. Because that’s exactly what I was trading with.

You can all cast a re-vote now, if you ain’t tired 😅

goodluck, and may the RNG god be with you.

for Grief?
You’re very kind but I haven’t got to the level that I accept charity. This thread wasn’t a begging post. As I switched my gameplay to single player.

Thank you for your offer!

goodluck, and may the RNG god be with you.

Begging charity,these aren’t the words I intented to make u feel,just asking to know it’s for Grief or not.On the other hand including myselff many players asked for a help lot of times for ubers or getting back the body.Should I feel helpless? Anyways ty for thanks and glhf 😀
