Ghosts and high runes

As far as I know the ghosts have a substantially higher chance to drop a high rune. But none of the high runes I got came from a ghost. and very few mid runes. not sure if it's normal, how is your experience?

P.S. better not to think how many

Ber runes get wasted in the arkane Sanctuary and the

Chaos Sanctuary..

RNG is RNG

Here's the chance for either

Ber or

Jah to drop in p7. Ghosts do well, but it's not like it's totally different. It's marginally different.

If you filter out champions, uniques, superuniques, and bosses you'll see ghosts and their derivatives monopolize the list. (2 minutes ago I found a

Mal in CS off a ghost). Source: https://nishicode.com/#/dropfinder/AAABBwEAbmMBCLIIsw==

The odds of a ghost dropping a high rune is disproportionately higher than most other monsters, but the odds of encountering them is just as disproportionately less likely. That being said I recently had two

Sur drop in the Arcane in a single week. So if you're looking to land some high runes from ghosts then you're going to have to go where you're most likely to encounter them.

If you want high runes, just go and kill white mobs in a dozen. I find one high rune per week on average. This weekend it was

Sur and

Ohm on a single day.

Don't mess around with enemy types or so, it's not worth it. If you make frequent use of Worldstone Shards, it doesn't matter which monster you are fighting, all of them are capable of dropping up to

Zod.

High density areas are the best way to find those runes: Secret Cow Level, Flayer jungle, A2 tombs, Chaos Sanctuary, Worldstone Keep, Halls of Pain etc.

AoE skills and travel speed are key. So the best rune farmers will be: Sorceresses, Javazons, Poisonmancers, Fire Warlocks, Hammerdins, Bowazons, Dragondins....

My best recipe to find high (or any ) runes is to change their sound to something more noticeable. After O did so one month ago, I am getting way more runes. And at least one

Cham rune will be lost if I will not have this. Wondering how many runes I lost before........

Especially when you start playing the game, Casters like Firelock and Sorceress are far superior to stack runes and better gear.

Poppables are also underrated for higher runes. Found a

Jah,

Sur and 3

Vex besides dozens of lower runes out of bodies, chest n stuff in less than a year. Nothing higher than

Gul or

Vex from a ghost till now.
