I believe I can solo the whole thing but it’s a bit slow if there are no higher runes helping me. But I love Solo for now as I play Casually. I understand Group game is way better for this game. I messed up with my specs and the higher runes are the only way I could reset my failed specs. I want better runes to make it a little easier. It took me 2 sets of 12-slots Rejuv potions to kill Diablo and I am using all the rune gear available to me on Solo. It’s freaking hard to Solo the Normal Campaign. I am a bit frustrated on not having higher level Runes at Normal. Anyhow, I am playing D2R now as if it’s a new game to me. Back in the old days, I was just using an illegitimate copy of D2 and I had no idea if my version was way easier. LK runs are so fast that a few extra seconds in load times in D2R has a noticeable impact on the efficiency compared to original D2.īTW, I am somewhat new to higher levels of Diablo 2. I also think it’s a bit less efficient in D2R because of the slower load times. It’s more of an offline strategy where you can manipulate /players. Lower Kurast superchests are also good for anything up to Ber, but it’s best to do LK runs at higher player counts (at least /players3, preferably /players7). You might miss some drops if someone else grabs the runes though, so that’s a bit of a two-edged sword. Rune drops from enemies see better odds with higher player counts, so that can help.

I had a Sur rune drop off the council while I was just progressing through Hell. I think the council in Travincal is also decent. High density and above average rune drop rate. Runes are a volume thing, you want to kill a ton of enemies to maximize your chances. The nice thing about cows is that they have great density, so you can kill a ton of them relatively quickly. They have a higher rune drop chance than most enemies, but lower than ghosts. Arcane Sanctuary I think has the highest ghost density, but that seems like a pretty crummy area to try and farm.Ĭows are in between. Chaos Sanctuary has a decent number of ghosts, so that’s a decent option for runes. So you can farm areas with a ghosts for higher rune drop rates. There’s a bunch of stuff they can’t drop, so they end up with higher drop rates for runes. Or you need to rely on your merc to kill her.Ĭertain types of enemies have higher drop rates for runes. She’s cold and fire immune though, so you can’t farm her with certain builds. Any decent way for solo online to get high runesįor anything up to Ist, Hell Countess is the most efficient way.
