I literally still can't get over the fact that I'm playing a D2 remaster that looks this good. I can't even believe it while I'm playing it, cause I played this game in 2000. It's literally a dream come true, I feel like I'm in heaven or something, haven't been this happy for a release since forever

I hope that the same people that have done this remastered still working at Diablo IV. They are very talented. I'm old enough to see when games had this particular feeling, this playability.
Just entered hell act 3 on my necro. Walked into spider forest and killed some packs of those little guys and a Jah rune dropped! First time I've found a high rune in 20 years lol. So 20 years from now I'll get a Ber and can finally get an enigma. Already have the 3 socket mage plate.

@@Hank_Amarillo Cause there is nothing to understand tbh. If you are good at winning the lottery, you will be good at finding runes. I've played the game for 10+ years and ive never found more than LO rune. My favorite place to farm (and most fun) is Cow Level. Found 1 Lo there in 10+ years. The other LO ive found was from the chest behind Mephisto. I know they've increased the Rune drop rate in some patch, but ive never played in that version so nowdays, it might be a little easier to find them, but probably still obscenely hard. Last patch i've played was 1.11.

The only thing i Hope they Fix is the desync, got to Duriel,opened a portal got killed and when tried to recovrr the body i was dead in the loading screen
Crypt and Mausoleum in the Burial Grounds is a fantastic hidden gem for HRs. Kill the mobs, pop the chests and kick all the barrels. Theres a ton of containers in those spots plus a golden chest in both Crypt and Mausoleum.
No sooner did I do this did I find Black Hades (Unique Chaos Armor), Naj's Set Weapon (Set Elder Staff) and THEN my first ever Vex Rune within the first half dozen runs!

@@blacklabel130 i just farmed mausoleum for hours, probably 7 hours total. All i wanted was a white Monarch so i could make spirit. I got a single white monarch, zero high runes, and nothing worth while. I did one baal run and a Monarch dropped. Rng is rng is rng.
Watched this yesterday and thought ok, let's do what he says... ran mausoleum, countess, andariel, ancient tunnels, summoner, travincal, mephisto, river of flame, chaos, nihlathak, Pindle and cows. All in 1 game, just to keep killing stuff. Got a mal in the first mausoleum and thought "not a bad start" then got a cham on my second chaos. This guy know what he is talking about lol.
For me its much easier to spot right place in Lower Kurast by looking at map and searching for rectangular (technically those are parallelogram on map, but what I mean is separated "houses" with just 4 walls on map, not those joined with wooden parts or with additional wooden extensions on side) "houses" without yellow entrance.
Hey Mr. I just wanted to say thanks for feeding the curiosity of this wonderful community. I've played the game since release (I was 9 years old), and while I knew most of this kinda stuff intrinsically it's great to see a cool friendly face explain it so well for everyone. Keep on doin' whatchoo do, brother
I've been playing since a year after release, so I think I was about the same age as you. I was a dumb kid and bullshit a druid to 73 and hell, where I promptly got smashed over and over. Mrllamasc and thr arreat summit have completely changed my game play and I pretty much walk through the game until act 3 nm. Bless this man. 🙏
@@d8l835 I would feel bad myself if I asked someone to boost me Hell without any compensation. Also if someone offers a deal, I won't deny it, why would I? Besides, it's a service, he/she needs someone's time and ability to crush Hell, and offers a fair price for it. Do you also say to your taxi drivers that they should drive you to your destination for free? I bet you don't. Also, they always have the option to "play the game themselves" for free. Hf is a very generous and normal offer for a Hell rush, I offer it to others if I need a rush to my alts, and I rush others for it, it's not weird or greedy, both sides can feel fair and good.
@@diacor4life489 lol its fair but its also generous??? What is it man? First off its diablo 2, what you did wasnt hard at all even in the slightest, second of all dont compare anything you did in a videogame to real world currency or value, makes me believe you one of those jsp losers who spend money on items for a game made 20 years ago
I just have to say, I admire you guys that play this game. The only reason I am watching this is to write an article about it, and just looking at this aches me to my core. I never understood what's so fun about these games. You roam around, kill stuff, get stuff in return, and then do it all over again. I guess there's a storyline and whatnot, but wow, this gameplay bores me to death.
Mr llama!!! You probably already know this but I just stumbled onto something huge. So the drive by chaos. You can turn up to players 7 before you go into the river of flame and it will populate more monsters. Then when you tele past them you can switch to players 1 to kill the seal bosses. But before you tele through you can switch back to players 7 and then tele through and then pop the last seal and the mass of mobs will drops waaaaaaaaaay more stuff
Short story: everything up to and including Ist - run Countess on appropriate difficulty. Gul, Vex and maybe Ohm are reachable with some dedication by smashing Hell Countess runes together. Anything above Ohm, you will never see unless you have literally thousands of hours to sink into the game, or trade with someone who does (or use bots or find a way to cheat), but best chance is areas with very high monster counts like cows, since you literally have to kill 100,000 monsters on average before you see a high-level rune.
@@thezod2307 Hmm, I've been having a lot more luck than expected too, compared to last time I played several years ago. I wonder if Resurrected upped the rune drop rates
Just kill every random elites/champions you see on the way while you do whatever you are doing. Random zombies dropped me Vex on the way while I was searching for the tower. Also a random pack dropped me a Shako while I was on my way to Baal. Both of those were "skippable" monsters if you try to "farm fast". Just slow down and kill stuff on the way if you see elite packs, it's worth it in the long run.
definitely always worth it if you can efficiently kill them. i believe unique or champion mobs also have a tc bonus of +[1-3] too, which just increases the odds of something nice
Been watching so many of your videos and use most of your sources for learning, I literally typed in “how to find high runes” and you have a new vid up lmao you da man
I wish I'd have met you online in 2000 lol. I love how you started out though, "target these areas" and then just finally came to the point of it all. Kill as many things as quickly as you can... High density areas are always best!
Some important notes with cows is that it is also great for white bases. But also it is safe and it is very cheap and fast to farm with a javazon. The combination of density, speed, safety, and cheapness makes it so good for rune running.
Your tip about ghosts in Arcane Sanctuary was great. I went into a game with 5 people and got an Ohm rune almost immediately, followed by a Sol and a Lem.
Regarding chaos runs there is the seal popping technique allowing you to insta-kill monsters in the area when you activate the last seal. The thing is that only monsters up to close to two screens away from you will drop items (with 0 MF, but since you're looking for runes who cares). But the game considers the monsters active for drops if you've been close to them in a span of something like 7 seconds. First pop a portal at the bottom of chaos, the game considers it to be like an active player; then kills the seals' bosses and leave the last portal. Before you do activate this portal just teleport around to activate monsters' drops and then activate this last portal to insta-kill monsters and just look around for the dropped loot.
For the people considering LK runs: I did this 2 years ago on Single Player and my aim was to do nothing else but LK runs til I had Infinity and Enigma. To entertain myself I brought the Harry Potter audio book just to have something to focus on. 40 - 50 seconds on average per run on players7 and my first Ber dropped on Chapter 2 of Book 6!!! (and it was the German version read by Rufus Beck which is waaaay longer than the English version). So .... don't do LK runs guys, it will cost your soul! At least I was entertained ... the HP audio books are really nice ^^
I've come back to this video several times during my rune hunting journey. And every time I see him get that Reaper's Toll on cow level it makes me want to cry :') Still haven't got my BIS merc weapon for my hammerdin so i'm just running insight at the moment.
I remember back in the day i used to rush people for their mephisto stone drop. Had map hack the whole nine yards. Solo ubers with my smiter paladin. Just bought the game again and starting from scratch. So nostalgic.
Another place I enjoy is halls of pain. I find the monster density in there can be pretty high, the narrow hallways helps with keeping them together. But my favorite mob to spawn in there is the fetishes, because there seems to be a larger number of them in comparison to other mobs. But all types of mobs can spawn down there, i believe even ghosts.
Keep up the great work!! You are amazing at Diablo and you help so many people. You seem to be a really good person. Take care and have a great weekend!
Travincal Council can only drop up to Cham. However, the drop rate for high runes on Council is amongst the highest in the game, second only to Ghosts or Wraiths. If you have a good Blizz sorc or a decent Zealer with Laying of Hands, it by far one of the most efficient places to farm for high runes. However, you'll probably have to do like 1000+ runs to have a good chance at one high rune or more. Council is also very good for charms and Rainbow Facets + gold for gambling.
Found a Jah in Trav and a Ber off of a ghost in the tower within a month of each other (single player PlugY). Happiest summonmancer, ever. Now after a Lo for a Grief. Scored a Lo after a streak of Mals and Vexes. Now I have a slaughtermonkey zealer and a porta-trapsin. These two runewords lived up to the hype. Good times.
How are you farming the Trav without any HR's that's my question. we all know most of the good spots, but how do you survive without the stuff you are looking for?
I usually find runes in: (by act): Act 1: two crypts where you fight Blood Raven, Catacombs 1-4, Jail 1-3 and obviously Countess\Tower. Act 2: Rocky\Dry Hill\Far Oasis, Snake Temple, Arcane S, Valley\Canyon and Tombs (all seven) Act 3: Kurast (any), Trav, Durance of Hate 1-3 Act 4: Entire act 4, especially Plains of Despair and City of the Damned as they often spawn with Ghosts Act 5: Halls of Pain\Anguish, Crystal Passage, Ancient's Way, Worldstone Keep 1-3
I place I have been trying out lately is "halls of pain"(Nihlatak WP map). It's only TC84 I believe but the mob density is very high. Have flayer jungle blowdart mobs (found a Sur rune in flayer jungle couple days ago). Seems like a good place to search for runes. It's basically like running Flayer jungle but at a higher TC level( Flayer Jungle is TC80). Nice when you have grown tired of cow level and the usual TC85 areas.
I found a Vex rune randomly in Stony Field from a trash mob looking for the Tristram portal for cows. I died just before going in portal, so I had to tele from WP and found it lying on the ground. If I had never died and recovered my body I never would’ve found it 😂
Chaos is the most fun place to farm, it is right next to the wp and you just tp in and kill stuff within seconds. Chaos requires decent gear though to be quick because you will encounter Lighting, Fire and Cold immunes. I run a Frozen orb and Meteor sorceress with a strong mercenary which deals with most cold+fire immunes in seconds. I do not recommend fire or lightning only for chaos without extremely good gear with a lot of -resistance because there are ware too many enemies for your mercenary to handle. You can do Chaos as Blizzard but your mercenary will need to kill all Oblivion Knights which in some games is a mess because there can be A LOT of them. I got a Ber rune from my last set of Chaos runs.. =)
Get high runes in 1 million easy steps: 1) buy d2r, 2) spend x amount of hours leveling your character high enough to play the hell difficulty, 3-999999) die multiple times before realizing you need to level more, 1000000) play 200-300 hours just killing stuff hoping that RNGesus loves you(because, at this point, everyone else outside of the group you do runs with thinks you're an a-hole), 1000001) decide your character isn't good enough to do this whole rune farming thing and repeat steps 2-1000000 and hope the next build is better
@@spawnofblood7892 eh it enables me to do all of hell with good resistances and MF...I wouldn't call it trash tho. Still farming for better in slot gear tho but most is much more expensive.
thanks for your help, im doing a pro character for the first time of my life in diablo 1.14d with plugy because u know.. storage, reset skills and u know runes are a key to success on this game
im looking for doing a tesladin in diablo 2 1.14d vainilla and i will use the knowledge i get from plugy but i believe on the higher levels a pure zealot paladin its the best one
For HRs (and any item in general), the amount of time you spend farming is much more important than the location you choose to farm. Play more = better items.
Not exactly… you can farm He’ll Meph without killing other things for months and you have allowed odds of finding a high rune than spending that time doing cow runs. Also, you can spend time farming NM and have 0 odds of finding a high rune. It’s not just about your play time - which is what you’re saying. Also items are based on item level, you literally can’t get some items by farming certain areas. Thanks for oversimplifying it though.
Dropped a Jah from the chest behind Meph in Hell last night. Got an Arach from Meph tonight. Got a Sur from a trash mob on the way to Baal. Been a good two days! Woo!
Got a Jah in the Forgotten Sands uber Duriel zone the other day when I wasn't even hoping to find anything at all. D2 keeping the surprises and the hype coming at all angles!
I have spent almost 20 years (D2 original and now D2R), and have multiple level 99 characters, and I am still missing a BER rune. Never found one. Not one. I have crafted one, but never actually found one.
it sucks but at the same time I feel this rarity and hunt is why some people still enjoy playing. I love gambling IRL so it kind of translates over to this game
Lk still works on multi-player, I found a Mal and ist so far. Also found a vex out of the dungeon chest in ancient tunnels no cold immunes there btw. And a Jah in cows
@@FlaxDK been playing this game since original release and I farm Meph a lot. Best I have seen from him is ohm, couple vex. Getting jah and ber from him in a short amount of time is insane. Chaos and cows is where I have found most of mine.
I've been doing cow runs in 5 minutes for 2 weeks of 4 ish hour sessions and little bits here and there between work and I've gotten a Ber, 2x Ohm, and 4 Um
@@naabaanit639 you are at the top of variance i used to run bots in diablo 2 that would run this : ANDY, THE PIT, MEPH, PINDLE + highlands and i'd average a high rune once about every 200 runs
Go to high density area, kill as many things as possible in the shortest amount of time possible, brute force the drops, you'll get runes. High density area exemple: -Cows -Arcane Sanctuary ( Wich contain superchest at each ends wich can drops HR mathematicaly easier ) -Tal Rasha's Tombs -Chaos sanctuary -Worldstone Keep -Halls of Anguish up to Nihlathak
@@boldureanumarianboldureanu2034 of course you can, just lower your expectation because they are ridiculously rare, most online players do farm player 1 anyway, better play alone than with other people that can grab your loot =)
Nice shit lol. Ive been trying to get a Lo for Grief. Have basically everything good except, no gore riders and Fort. Managed to get Dracul’s off travincal today lol, which helped a LOT on my cow runs. Howl is pretty busted against them lmao. Happy hunting though! Good luck! Ive managed to find a Vex and Ohm so far!
I played Diablo 1 when it first dropped and played D2 till around the time runes popped up. Just bought the game and have an 85 summon nec and am realizing how scarce the runes I need are.
I really love chaos sanctuary since its also a lvl 85 area so you can both find juicy uniques and sets along with runes since its a good place with high monster density. As an example ran it yesterday and the grand total over multiple runs I got myself a shako, arachnids mesh, war travs, tals armor, dracs along with an ist and a mal rune. And as Llama pointed out high runes are just really really rare.
@@tgn30001987 Im playing a blizzard sorc with a merc rocking insight in a cryptic axe and trechery with Andys mask and before that tals mask. And when I feel lika mixing it up I go with my hammerdin.
Farming Countess and Arcane Sanctuary with an immortal Nova Sorc is where it's at. Farming champion ghost packs getting HRS, good item drops. Lucky last 30 minutes I got WarTravs then a SUR rune from a ghost in arcane
@@exofive max nova, light mastery, telekinesis, energy shield, 1 frozen armor, 1 warmth, get a lot of mana and damage reduction/magic damage reduction gear. Flat reduction is nice but % works too. Spirit sword, Vamp gaze, gladiators bane, Gerkes shield or spirit, viper magi, sting of ears, frost burn gauntlets, silkweave boots. Socket everything with sol runes for max damage reduction. Strength enough to wear gear, dex enough for gear (gonna experiment with max block myself later) nothing into vitality and everything into energy and you never die except mana burn and poison sucks max poison res. Pray merc+insight for super nice regen helps against poison. Making another sorc to play with the build and get frozen orb too possibly. It's great for key farming and the demi bosses but not good for solo or boss damage. I recently respec'd bliz to farm Chaos Sanctuary, Baal my merc takes care of immunes but it's slow. Obviously you can swap out certain items for more damage less tank or more mf all depends on what u need. 105 FCR is a MUST and 86 FHR should be achieved also. But again I ran the build with bad gear at 1st and worked up to the better gear. ALL WITHOUT INFINITY. Infinity would make this build gg I think and I'd probably go less into ES and TK and put the points into lightning. Definitely sounds like and is odd gear for a sorc but the damage reduction and ES + TK make it insane. Definitely not a huge damage build. I had around 1k damage novas with not many +skills on gear like you usually do on the sorc. Shako is great for Mana life and DR. Spirit monarch gives more FCR and +Skills so I ended up using that after the Gerkes. Had 2k mana before my BO from CTA
I always get them in pairs. I'll grind for weeks and get nothing. Then I'll rush a friend randomly and find a Cham and Jah within 2 choas runs. Of course then I go back to grinding for weeks seeing nothing but mid runes.
I've found all my highest runes in games with friends. I think increasing the number of players in the game is the best thing you can do to find more runes.
Hey Mr.Llama, any chance you could put all these new D2R guides in a playlist, or add them to your existing D2 guides playlist? Like watching your stuff before bed, despite not having played D2 in like, a decade. The remaster looks pretty good though, just waiting to see what the devs plan to do for additional content if any.
Ya know, I've been finding so many runes, with much more regularity than I remember when I played D2 in the mid-late 2000s. Did they increase the drop rate of runes (before D2R)?
I haven't seen anything official stating they have, but I'm already a few Ber runes in personally. Still played bnet up until recent pre d2r, and never had such luck.
I thought the same. I found a Vex from trash mob otw to Baal. Some runs after that i found Um and Ist at throne of destruction in between 5mins. Both solo NM On the other hand hell countess gave me Sol as highest so far (like 5-10 runs) so maybe it was just rly lucky rng
@@InsideOut887 I'm still in NM with only one character. My first unique was from an armor stand in countess' tower on normal. I am REEEEALLY digging the shared stash. I can't tell you how happy I am I don't have to 'xfer' to mules anymore. I do wish that runes and gems were stackable, though.
@@Talon771 My first unique was Gull dagger from a chest in the blood moor. I wear it since than with my Necro now lvl 82. Guess its about time to personalize it lol Yeah they totally should make runes/gems stackable! And also add more shared chest space. At least 10 tabs imo. Since we had the opporunity to make infinite mule accounts it would take nothing from the original game experience
I found vex, lo, sur in lower kurast, and jah, zod and ber in the canyon of the magi popping skeletons. not a lot of ppl know about the canyon. one bad thing is that in D2R, the skeletons there are much harder to see.
Great hint about the chests in lower kurast in the buildings near the camp fires - it’s always been my favorite place to farm but didn’t know about those chests 👍
My best rune drop so far has been 'Lem' .... but hey, at least I got myself a Mal rune through a trade. Still having a great time in D2R, it would be boring if it was all too easy and too quick =)
I feel you, my highest rune when finished the game was Lum :)) did a lot of meph and Andy, some pindles.. just Lum hah. Then I got pul, ko, lem from trades, and now, when trying to farm Baal, his minions dropped me a Ohm :)) so I'm very happy!
I was leveling my pala in Hell cows and found both a Jah and a Vex in one run, a couple runs later I found a Sur. Which got me addicted to cows. I farmed it for hours on end for several days and got nothing.. still farming cows tho.
I’ve played for 20 years and don’t think I’ve ever had travencal drop a rune. I have had several characters over 90 because you couldn’t reset your skills, and because of the armor and weapons I have found. The rune words came out. Now the remastered version is out and CPUs are nuts expensive so playing on consul. Starting all over now. So frustrating having nothing.

Because the game is rigged
Got a Cham rune in act 2 just playing through hell on my necro, didn't know I was supposed to be happy about it.
I thought Cham can only be found on Acts 4 and 5 ?
Biggest piece of information for m was that runes aren't based in magic find. Thank you for that.

Rushed a player on Hell, Hephasto dropped Gul and right after the forge dropped Gul too.
A nice double Gul from helping someone.
gaaaaay
Should just rush em for free...
@@d8l835 I would feel bad myself if I asked someone to boost me Hell without any compensation. Also if someone offers a deal, I won't deny it, why would I? Besides, it's a service, he/she needs someone's time and ability to crush Hell, and offers a fair price for it.
Do you also say to your taxi drivers that they should drive you to your destination for free? I bet you don't.
Also, they always have the option to "play the game themselves" for free.
Hf is a very generous and normal offer for a Hell rush, I offer it to others if I need a rush to my alts, and I rush others for it, it's not weird or greedy, both sides can feel fair and good.
@@diacor4life489 lol its fair but its also generous??? What is it man? First off its diablo 2, what you did wasnt hard at all even in the slightest, second of all dont compare anything you did in a videogame to real world currency or value, makes me believe you one of those jsp losers who spend money on items for a game made 20 years ago
@@diacor4life489 fuck the haters. Do you man
I just have to say, I admire you guys that play this game. The only reason I am watching this is to write an article about it, and just looking at this aches me to my core. I never understood what's so fun about these games. You roam around, kill stuff, get stuff in return, and then do it all over again. I guess there's a storyline and whatnot, but wow, this gameplay bores me to death.
I got a Zod in hell cows last week, first zod in my entire d2 career
Mr llama!!! You probably already know this but I just stumbled onto something huge. So the drive by chaos. You can turn up to players 7 before you go into the river of flame and it will populate more monsters. Then when you tele past them you can switch to players 1 to kill the seal bosses. But before you tele through you can switch back to players 7 and then tele through and then pop the last seal and the mass of mobs will drops waaaaaaaaaay more stuff
Le me: *plays LoD for 21 years* *never seen Reaper's Toll*
MrLlama *casually demonstrates cow level* *finds RT*
I have found it 2 times and one was ethereal....but i was lucky finding always the gear i didnt want to use....
I found an ethreal one a couple days ago, might be my best drop so far lol
I dropped IT twice from mef on d2R
I found one yesterday 235%/15% non-eth tho, first time in 20 years
How to find high runes: Wait for the servers to actually be online for more than 30 minutes
This has been driving me crazy.
Just think some of us work full time...
I play around 2 to 3 hours a day, so yeah the servers are actually online when i play.
Haha wow. I just literally commented this
That and pray you don't rollback after finding one...rip vex and mara's i found last week.
Short story: everything up to and including Ist - run Countess on appropriate difficulty. Gul, Vex and maybe Ohm are reachable with some dedication by smashing Hell Countess runes together. Anything above Ohm, you will never see unless you have literally thousands of hours to sink into the game, or trade with someone who does (or use bots or find a way to cheat), but best chance is areas with very high monster counts like cows, since you literally have to kill 100,000 monsters on average before you see a high-level rune.
Most people can find hours to spend. It might just be more spread out, and take longer then for other people. Is it a race? Not really
i literally have found a Ohm, Sur and Lo in 1 week worth of playing. lol
@@thezod2307 Hmm, I've been having a lot more luck than expected too, compared to last time I played several years ago. I wonder if Resurrected upped the rune drop rates
Just kill every random elites/champions you see on the way while you do whatever you are doing.
Random zombies dropped me Vex on the way while I was searching for the tower.
Also a random pack dropped me a Shako while I was on my way to Baal.
Both of those were "skippable" monsters if you try to "farm fast". Just slow down and kill stuff on the way if you see elite packs, it's worth it in the long run.
definitely always worth it if you can efficiently kill them. i believe unique or champion mobs also have a tc bonus of +[1-3] too, which just increases the odds of something nice
Yes i get so often at least Ohm and vex on the elite pack around shenk
Had a vex drop last night, my first decent rune drop! :)
I love how the intro text-to-speech pronounces the "LL" in Llama as "Y" (spanish).
What does it say anyway?
I can hear something like:
Arise, mister LSC. Your dust shall ... ??? / Your dust shoulder?
:D
@@martinxvidxb it says "arise mr llama SC, lord of Diablo ", but it has a strong Spanish accent and says "arise mr Yammas C, lord of Diablo"
Been watching so many of your videos and use most of your sources for learning, I literally typed in “how to find high runes” and you have a new vid up lmao you da man
I wish I'd have met you online in 2000 lol. I love how you started out though, "target these areas" and then just finally came to the point of it all. Kill as many things as quickly as you can... High density areas are always best!
Crankin out vids takin advantage of the huge amount of new players. Good shit man 👍
Some important notes with cows is that it is also great for white bases. But also it is safe and it is very cheap and fast to farm with a javazon. The combination of density, speed, safety, and cheapness makes it so good for rune running.
Your tip about ghosts in Arcane Sanctuary was great. I went into a game with 5 people and got an Ohm rune almost immediately, followed by a Sol and a Lem.
It’s all good guys. All you have to do to farm efficiently is play single player so you can fudge the odds! - Almost every D2 guide
God, D2R has been so good I hope they do D1 too!
I feel like that is a too good to be true item.
Course I also thought that way about d2 being remastered, so who knows?
Regarding chaos runs there is the seal popping technique allowing you to insta-kill monsters in the area when you activate the last seal. The thing is that only monsters up to close to two screens away from you will drop items (with 0 MF, but since you're looking for runes who cares). But the game considers the monsters active for drops if you've been close to them in a span of something like 7 seconds. First pop a portal at the bottom of chaos, the game considers it to be like an active player; then kills the seals' bosses and leave the last portal. Before you do activate this portal just teleport around to activate monsters' drops and then activate this last portal to insta-kill monsters and just look around for the dropped loot.
For the people considering LK runs: I did this 2 years ago on Single Player and my aim was to do nothing else but LK runs til I had Infinity and Enigma. To entertain myself I brought the Harry Potter audio book just to have something to focus on. 40 - 50 seconds on average per run on players7 and my first Ber dropped on Chapter 2 of Book 6!!! (and it was the German version read by Rufus Beck which is waaaay longer than the English version). So .... don't do LK runs guys, it will cost your soul! At least I was entertained ... the HP audio books are really nice ^^
When you mentioned Jah rune, I just got my first Ber rune at Travincal!
Best I've gotten so far is Sur, from mephs council and got a Lo from chaos sanctuary.
I got a sur off countesses cold immune minions!
I've come back to this video several times during my rune hunting journey. And every time I see him get that Reaper's Toll on cow level it makes me want to cry :') Still haven't got my BIS merc weapon for my hammerdin so i'm just running insight at the moment.
Awesome video! I found a BER the other day while farming the Pits in Hell difficulty.
That is sick! Nice find.
Thank you for your info. I’m stuck in act 3 in hell mode. This is the furthest I’ve gotten. I will be trying this.
I remember back in the day i used to rush people for their mephisto stone drop. Had map hack the whole nine yards. Solo ubers with my smiter paladin. Just bought the game again and starting from scratch. So nostalgic.
Literally had a Jah, and ohm drop for me within 5 minutes of each other Saturday. =D
The big rectangle stashes in the River of flame are a good unknown source as well.
Oh, thx for the tip!
Another place I enjoy is halls of pain. I find the monster density in there can be pretty high, the narrow hallways helps with keeping them together. But my favorite mob to spawn in there is the fetishes, because there seems to be a larger number of them in comparison to other mobs. But all types of mobs can spawn down there, i believe even ghosts.
Keep up the great work!! You are amazing at Diablo and you help so many people. You seem to be a really good person. Take care and have a great weekend!
I found a lem rune today and I’ve never felt more accomplished
Travincal Council can only drop up to Cham. However, the drop rate for high runes on Council is amongst the highest in the game, second only to Ghosts or Wraiths. If you have a good Blizz sorc or a decent Zealer with Laying of Hands, it by far one of the most efficient places to farm for high runes. However, you'll probably have to do like 1000+ runs to have a good chance at one high rune or more. Council is also very good for charms and Rainbow Facets + gold for gambling.
So freaking cool that gambling isn't garbage now!
I run Pindleskin for money, he usually drop 35k items and you kill him within a second or two.
Solid advice right there.
Up to cham. So everything but zod lol
sounds like great fun
Found a Jah in Trav and a Ber off of a ghost in the tower within a month of each other (single player PlugY). Happiest summonmancer, ever. Now after a Lo for a Grief.
Scored a Lo after a streak of Mals and Vexes. Now I have a slaughtermonkey zealer and a porta-trapsin. These two runewords lived up to the hype. Good times.
I followed your guide and and started farming trav, and I found a Ber rune! Thanks MrLlama!
Gz. Found a jah and a sur in cow runs
How are you farming the Trav without any HR's that's my question. we all know most of the good spots, but how do you survive without the stuff you are looking for?
I usually find runes in: (by act):
Act 1: two crypts where you fight Blood Raven, Catacombs 1-4, Jail 1-3 and obviously Countess\Tower.
Act 2: Rocky\Dry Hill\Far Oasis, Snake Temple, Arcane S, Valley\Canyon and Tombs (all seven)
Act 3: Kurast (any), Trav, Durance of Hate 1-3
Act 4: Entire act 4, especially Plains of Despair and City of the Damned as they often spawn with Ghosts
Act 5: Halls of Pain\Anguish, Crystal Passage, Ancient's Way, Worldstone Keep 1-3
Found Zod on hell cows last week, first zod in my entire D2 career
I place I have been trying out lately is "halls of pain"(Nihlatak WP map). It's only TC84 I believe but the mob density is very high. Have flayer jungle blowdart mobs (found a Sur rune in flayer jungle couple days ago). Seems like a good place to search for runes. It's basically like running Flayer jungle but at a higher TC level( Flayer Jungle is TC80). Nice when you have grown tired of cow level and the usual TC85 areas.

@@cody4243 not possible

Hey buddy. Same here. 😂😂😂
Chaos is the most fun place to farm, it is right next to the wp and you just tp in and kill stuff within seconds. Chaos requires decent gear though to be quick because you will encounter Lighting, Fire and Cold immunes. I run a Frozen orb and Meteor sorceress with a strong mercenary which deals with most cold+fire immunes in seconds. I do not recommend fire or lightning only for chaos without extremely good gear with a lot of -resistance because there are ware too many enemies for your mercenary to handle. You can do Chaos as Blizzard but your mercenary will need to kill all Oblivion Knights which in some games is a mess because there can be A LOT of them. I got a Ber rune from my last set of Chaos runs.. =)

Get high runes in 1 million easy steps: 1) buy d2r, 2) spend x amount of hours leveling your character high enough to play the hell difficulty, 3-999999) die multiple times before realizing you need to level more, 1000000) play 200-300 hours just killing stuff hoping that RNGesus loves you(because, at this point, everyone else outside of the group you do runs with thinks you're an a-hole), 1000001) decide your character isn't good enough to do this whole rune farming thing and repeat steps 2-1000000 and hope the next build is better

im looking for doing a tesladin in diablo 2 1.14d vainilla and i will use the knowledge i get from plugy but i believe on the higher levels a pure zealot paladin its the best one
For HRs (and any item in general), the amount of time you spend farming is much more important than the location you choose to farm. Play more = better items.
Not exactly… you can farm He’ll Meph without killing other things for months and you have allowed odds of finding a high rune than spending that time doing cow runs. Also, you can spend time farming NM and have 0 odds of finding a high rune. It’s not just about your play time - which is what you’re saying.
Also items are based on item level, you literally can’t get some items by farming certain areas. Thanks for oversimplifying it though.
Instant follow I got a
Sol
Shael
Ort and 2 charms while watching your vid doing a nightmare countess run 😂🎉
Dropped a Jah from the chest behind Meph in Hell last night. Got an Arach from Meph tonight. Got a Sur from a trash mob on the way to Baal.
Been a good two days! Woo!
Just found my first High rune ever after watching your video last night. A cham dropped for me in Travincal :)
Thanks!
surprised he didn't say, "The best to find high runes is to form a team and farm torches."
yes thats it , on nightmare i did a cow run solo some runes was droped and after ppl comes in, mid and low runens drop massiv.
Got a Jah in the Forgotten Sands uber Duriel zone the other day when I wasn't even hoping to find anything at all. D2 keeping the surprises and the hype coming at all angles!
I have spent almost 20 years (D2 original and now D2R), and have multiple level 99 characters, and I am still missing a BER rune. Never found one. Not one. I have crafted one, but never actually found one.
That was the case for me too, until I ran LK super chests. Then I got a Ber in Arcane Sanctuary.
Meanwhile, that was the first high rune drop I got in d2r, horked a ber in hell cows
@@AndrewB383 haha same, my first high-rune was Ber from LK farming (players 3) yesterday

Lk still works on multi-player, I found a Mal and ist so far. Also found a vex out of the dungeon chest in ancient tunnels no cold immunes there btw. And a Jah in cows
Yea it just get regenerated every time. So it's much easier on single player to farm only those chests.
I find it easier to just farm meph for popular items like HoZ, Shaco, Arachnid, and War Travs and just trade up for runes on Discord.
What is a good trading disc?
I farm meph as well - and actually had my two high rune drops come from him - got both a Jah and Ber.
@@FlaxDK been playing this game since original release and I farm Meph a lot. Best I have seen from him is ohm, couple vex. Getting jah and ber from him in a short amount of time is insane. Chaos and cows is where I have found most of mine.

@@naabaanit639 you are at the top of variance i used to run bots in diablo 2 that would run this : ANDY, THE PIT, MEPH, PINDLE + highlands and i'd average a high rune once about every 200 runs

I've got Gul from Meph and 2 Puls from Hellforge. Got 1 Lem from Chaos Sanctuary.
Also traded Guilliam's face for 2 Ko runes.
Aaaaand that's it.
Go to high density area, kill as many things as possible in the shortest amount of time possible, brute force the drops, you'll get runes.
High density area exemple:
-Cows
-Arcane Sanctuary ( Wich contain superchest at each ends wich can drops HR mathematicaly easier )
-Tal Rasha's Tombs
-Chaos sanctuary
-Worldstone Keep
-Halls of Anguish up to Nihlathak
And if you play online...solo with no friends...and no /players8.... You still have chance to drop high runes in cows? :(
@@boldureanumarianboldureanu2034 of course you can, just lower your expectation because they are ridiculously rare, most online players do farm player 1 anyway, better play alone than with other people that can grab your loot =)
Trav Cow runs are bis high rune farming imo. Found Jah Ber Sur Cham so far.
Nice shit lol. Ive been trying to get a Lo for Grief. Have basically everything good except, no gore riders and Fort. Managed to get Dracul’s off travincal today lol, which helped a LOT on my cow runs. Howl is pretty busted against them lmao. Happy hunting though! Good luck! Ive managed to find a Vex and Ohm so far!
I love you! I’ve only found one nah in all these years near mephisto in durance 3.. ima try lower kurast now
When it comes to monster density, shouldn't Act 3, i.e. the moor, jungle and co. be the best place?
Found my first terror key the other day. Lower runes are good for blood amulet, helm, boots, ring and such early on and beyond
Crazy, whenever I watch these videos, he finds GG items. When I run it over and over I see nothing, feels bad.
Sitting in an er recovery room.....ty for gr8 vids. Helps pass the time!!
Chaos, cow, any high level area. Kill everything and open them chest... do whatever is easiest for your character to clear.
I played Diablo 1 when it first dropped and played D2 till around the time runes popped up. Just bought the game and have an 85 summon nec and am realizing how scarce the runes I need are.
Got my first ever high rune today, a Lo rune from a chest in arcane sanctuary today and then lost it when they did the rollback.. thanks blizzard
I put my first Lo Rune in a magical armor and fucked smoke up:,)
Just a quick note, hell trav can only drop up to CHAM not ZOD. Otherwise good info.
I really love chaos sanctuary since its also a lvl 85 area so you can both find juicy uniques and sets along with runes since its a good place with high monster density. As an example ran it yesterday and the grand total over multiple runs I got myself a shako, arachnids mesh, war travs, tals armor, dracs along with an ist and a mal rune. And as Llama pointed out high runes are just really really rare.
which char you are playing?

Farming Countess and Arcane Sanctuary with an immortal Nova Sorc is where it's at. Farming champion ghost packs getting HRS, good item drops. Lucky last 30 minutes I got WarTravs then a SUR rune from a ghost in arcane
Can you elaborate on the build and gear?
@@exofive max nova, light mastery, telekinesis, energy shield, 1 frozen armor, 1 warmth, get a lot of mana and damage reduction/magic damage reduction gear. Flat reduction is nice but % works too. Spirit sword, Vamp gaze, gladiators bane, Gerkes shield or spirit, viper magi, sting of ears, frost burn gauntlets, silkweave boots. Socket everything with sol runes for max damage reduction. Strength enough to wear gear, dex enough for gear (gonna experiment with max block myself later) nothing into vitality and everything into energy and you never die except mana burn and poison sucks max poison res. Pray merc+insight for super nice regen helps against poison. Making another sorc to play with the build and get frozen orb too possibly. It's great for key farming and the demi bosses but not good for solo or boss damage. I recently respec'd bliz to farm Chaos Sanctuary, Baal my merc takes care of immunes but it's slow. Obviously you can swap out certain items for more damage less tank or more mf all depends on what u need. 105 FCR is a MUST and 86 FHR should be achieved also. But again I ran the build with bad gear at 1st and worked up to the better gear. ALL WITHOUT INFINITY. Infinity would make this build gg I think and I'd probably go less into ES and TK and put the points into lightning. Definitely sounds like and is odd gear for a sorc but the damage reduction and ES + TK make it insane. Definitely not a huge damage build. I had around 1k damage novas with not many +skills on gear like you usually do on the sorc. Shako is great for Mana life and DR. Spirit monarch gives more FCR and +Skills so I ended up using that after the Gerkes. Had 2k mana before my BO from CTA
I always get them in pairs. I'll grind for weeks and get nothing. Then I'll rush a friend randomly and find a Cham and Jah within 2 choas runs.
Of course then I go back to grinding for weeks seeing nothing but mid runes.
I've found all my highest runes in games with friends. I think increasing the number of players in the game is the best thing you can do to find more runes.
@@AlbertCloete *find anything
funny you said that. i just found Sur and Lo
Hey Mr.Llama, any chance you could put all these new D2R guides in a playlist, or add them to your existing D2 guides playlist? Like watching your stuff before bed, despite not having played D2 in like, a decade. The remaster looks pretty good though, just waiting to see what the devs plan to do for additional content if any.
What I’ve done just is created my own playlist with his videos, it’s pretty easy
Ya know, I've been finding so many runes, with much more regularity than I remember when I played D2 in the mid-late 2000s. Did they increase the drop rate of runes (before D2R)?
I haven't seen anything official stating they have, but I'm already a few Ber runes in personally. Still played bnet up until recent pre d2r, and never had such luck.
dunno. but on my sorc play thru normal i find 4 dol. and 0 sol. no area repeat. my first sol are in hell 😅.
I thought the same. I found a Vex from trash mob otw to Baal. Some runs after that i found Um and Ist at throne of destruction in between 5mins. Both solo NM
On the other hand hell countess gave me Sol as highest so far (like 5-10 runs) so maybe it was just rly lucky rng
@@InsideOut887 I'm still in NM with only one character. My first unique was from an armor stand in countess' tower on normal. I am REEEEALLY digging the shared stash. I can't tell you how happy I am I don't have to 'xfer' to mules anymore. I do wish that runes and gems were stackable, though.
@@Talon771 My first unique was Gull dagger from a chest in the blood moor. I wear it since than with my Necro now lvl 82. Guess its about time to personalize it lol
Yeah they totally should make runes/gems stackable! And also add more shared chest space. At least 10 tabs imo. Since we had the opporunity to make infinite mule accounts it would take nothing from the original game experience
Bro that's a harodric cube behind you wtf that's awesome 😆 👌🏼
Did they drastically increased the rune drops? we got so much crazy drops from day one on until now ...
Patch 1.14 of the original LoD buffed rune drops. D2R is based on that.
20 years ago I dropped a Vex rune during a Diablo run in Hell on Diablo. That was the best rune I dropped without Hell forge quest.
I found vex, lo, sur in lower kurast, and jah, zod and ber in the canyon of the magi popping skeletons. not a lot of ppl know about the canyon. one bad thing is that in D2R, the skeletons there are much harder to see.
Best drop for me so far is getting a Gul from Hephastos and then another Gul from the forge moments later. Good day.
I thought you couldn’t play /players 8 in an online game solo. As far as I knew it was only available for offline play.
It is for offline single player only
The command only works in offline but online, actual players in the game will bring things to the same level
Great hint about the chests in lower kurast in the buildings near the camp fires - it’s always been my favorite place to farm but didn’t know about those chests 👍
My best rune drop so far has been 'Lem' .... but hey, at least I got myself a Mal rune through a trade.
Still having a great time in D2R, it would be boring if it was all too easy and too quick =)
I got a mal from a chest in durance, my highest drop so far!
I feel you, my highest rune when finished the game was Lum :)) did a lot of meph and Andy, some pindles.. just Lum hah. Then I got pul, ko, lem from trades, and now, when trying to farm Baal, his minions dropped me a Ohm :)) so I'm very happy!
