I really hate the idea to play the game trough 3rd party site, but that was pretty much the only way if you wanted to make runewords, ladder after ladder.Įveryone has their own example but for me its 20+ years, thousands of hours played and one Ohm, one Vex, one Lo rune or something like that, so how exactly are you going to make runewords wihtout dupers flooding the market? and now with even shorter ladder seasons. Just clearing out i never spent any real money to buy items, i know i guy who i played with, spent tons of money just because he wanted to have runewords, i took the slow route. While i hate botting, duping, spam etc to the heart, most people dont realize that all this, generated healthy supply of high runes year after year and everone had all the runewords they wanted, and lets faced it, runewords are there end game of D2, Runewords enable many buiilds, they are pretty much needed if you wanna enjoy playing hell difficulty, but how to get them hmm, for me the the answer was unnamed forums, i felt pretty dumb and cheated trying to gear my Tal Sorc for months legit and then learning other ppl decked their chars within very short amount of time and with best gear using theese certain forums. High rune drop rates are simply wayyyy to low period. It would be nice if the base game looked at similar adjustments or advanced options without needing to download crufty MPQ editing tools to mod the game. That alone makes a big difference over time. Mods like Project Diablo 2 sets the NoDrop rate for /players 1 equivalent to /players 5. Single player does have the /players command, but that raises mob health and damage too, restricting you even further to cookie cutter builds like a blizzard sorc in a limited number of areas, especially if you’re undergeared to begin with.

The worst drop rate for Zod was 1.08-1.09 where it was 1/184320 when the Runes 17 class was rolled. Of course most of that time was spent during patches where drop rates for high runes were notoriously low.

(I’ve spent countless hours playing this game throughout the 20+ years it’s been available, I’ve never found a Jah or Ber or whatever.

I should find a high rune and immediately use it in something fun knowing it won’t literally be the last time in my life I ever find one. Finding a high rune shouldn’t be such a crazy event that it sits in my stash forever because I’m too afraid to use it on anything less than the most perfect base. Also agree that drops should be looked at, especially for single player.
