I am running a 17 druid (non-ladder) on LOD East. I decided to run the
countess to build up my bank. I finally kill her and she drops a tir, a
ral, one minor health potion and 285 gold. that is it. I have gotten better
drops from rakanishu. what is up with this? there weren't any magic items
on the fifth floor at all. all I found was a socketed superior dagger.
everything else was junk. there was a total of less than 1k loose gold. I
have never seen the tower looking this shabby. what is the DEAL???

Your lvl 17 Druid did well to get a Tir and a Ral.

What were you expecting?

I killed NM Andy the other day and got a blue sash from her. Got another
TalRasha Mask on the way there, though. :-)

Which anybody on USEast non-ldr can have, btw.

That is actually a darn fine normal countess run. Normal
countess is a reasonable source of low level runes, and
you got her highest and another one too. If you have a
horadric cube, after another hour of countess running, you
should be able to make an ancients pledge which is pretty
good for a really low level char without access to any
twinks.

I have any chars more than lvl 17 not wearing one).

My necro reached her in Hell yesterday and got just El/Eld.

Back above ground 60 seconds or so later, and a couple of stray Fallen
dropped a Sol. And by the time I reached the Outer Cloister, with a
brief detour via the Pit, I'd also gained a unique amulet (only the
Eye of Etlich, but what the heck) and the first Buriza I've ever
found.

That's probability for you - the unusual happens all the time. Just
not on average.

Cheers - Ian

Oooo-kay! That's even worse...

Dito, maybe that's why I'm not very into Countess, Shenk, Eldritch and
so on runs, 'cause e.g. on my way to one or another pit run the stuff
I may collect in the Tamoe highlands is quite as good (esp. talking
about runes).

I couldn't believe it tonight when my one NM Countess run netted Eld, Ort,
and Hel.

I didn't even know she could drop a Hel in NM.

Where can I find data on who can drop what runes? Someone wrote that the
hell Hellforge can drop up to Gul, so how does one find higher runes?

just look here: http://diablo2.ingame.de/tips/calcs/dropcalc/
in nightmare, max is KO, in Hell, LO. Also probabilities go way down
after NM IO and Hell IST.

My Enchantress is currently running NM Baal and got a VEX on the way to
him.

So if you're really after higher runes, pack a good char for killing
power (no MF needed) and do Nightmare WSK2-3 at /players 8. With MF gear
handy you can throw Baal on top of it...

Regards,

Oliver
