D2R Runes Farming Guide - Fast Way To Farm Low To High Runes In Diablo 2 Resurrected

To get things kicked off in Diablo 2 Resurrected, you need a lot of the kind of mid runes and the countess can actually help you out a lot with that. For all you new players of Diablo, the countess can be found in the black marsh that is act one, this is a nightmare difficulty that you should farm her in. You look around until you find the forgotten tower and then you descend to the fifth level of the forgotten tower which is where you will find the countess.

Which Runes Can Countess Drop In Diablo 2 Resurrected

In normal difficulty, she can drop anything from El up to Ral. In nightmare difficulty, she can drop anything up to Ko technically, although anything above Io is very rare and there's a guaranteed drop that the countess will drop in terms of runes in terms of her special ability to drop runes. There is her random monster chance which also has a different scale to which it can drop runes. Lum and Ko would be on her regular monster drop rate role and then anything up to Io would be on her counter special rune drop role. Finally, in hell difficulty, she can drop all the way up to Lo, although anything above Ist is considered to be much less likely and very difficult. For those very high runes, Sur, Ber, Jah, Cham, and Zod, these runes are extremely rare. If you're new to Diablo, the Zod is the most difficult item to drop in the game, you could play for 20 years and never see one.

Diablo 2 Resurrected Runes Farming Locations

1. The place to go for the very high runes is Lower Kurast. In Lower Kurast, there will be up to two, one to two of these bonfires. When you see a bonfire, the nearby house will contain a super chest. A super chest has perhaps the best chance of dropping the very high runes in the game. So what players do especially in single-player is farm these super chests in Lower Kuras. In single-player you will know exactly where those super chests are and exactly where the huts are and so you can farm them extremely fast. However, in battlement, the maps are always randomized. So it will take you considerably longer to find the super chests each time. This is probably still the best way to look for high runes.

2. The specters, the ghosts, and the wraiths or whatever they are here in the arcane sanctuary actually have the best chance of dropping high runes. Ghosts are just one of those things that have a better chance of dropping runes.

3. The chaos sanctuary is a good spot because of the high monster density. If you can clear this chaos sanctuary quickly, there's just a lot of high monster density and that's kind of the name of the game when it comes to farming runes. Nothing really has a great chance of dropping it. Magic Find doesn't help and so it really becomes a game of killing as many things as you possibly can as quickly as you can to improve your drop chances.

4. The secret cow-level cows are good because they come in high-density numbers and they don't have any immunities. So kill cows all day long, they can drop all sorts of good stuff, and runes are included in that list.
