I heard that a bud of mine found a BER rune in hell cowlevel, and that his friend found a JAH rune there a few days earlier.

Could this very well be true ?
And have YOU also found any runes abowe GUL in hell cowlevel ?

I have been cowing endless times and found 1 hel rune 1 time. Thats it.

Indeed it is. Hell Andariel has been known to drop some high runes from time to time as well. I scored an OHM from her once....

Seen several Ists, a Vex, an Ohm, a Lo and a Cham drop in cow games. (grabbed both Ists and the Cham)

Lower Kurast basket/log/chest running is the best way to get good runes though
(no Chams/Jahs/Zods tho)

If you want the higher runes, you'll need to head to the River of Flame for your best chances.

Wouldnt it still be faster just to kill massive amounts of monsters then relying on just baskets, logs and chests?

Well, I think Lower Kurast "objects" are weighted highest for dropping runes (well...other than the Countess), so they are the "best" for dropping the high end stuff (Mal+).

I'm still for the Countess+Cube for getting the rarer stuff (I think I'll find enough Ists from her to Cube a Zod than actually find a Zod :)). A guaranteed rune, and a chance of up to 3 than can go up to Vex (got one, actually), and a rather easy area for any Lightning-using character, like a Javazon or CL Sorc.

by CL u mean Chain lightning right ?

why are ppl using it, sure it does nice dmg, can hit multiple targets but Lightning does 2 times the dmg, and wipes out a room in 2-3 attacks..

Reasons for using cl, targeting, you notice how the countess sends her minions to the door first... well you hit one, your stray lighting from the cl hits her.... I love just targeting 1 in a room like in the tomb area, and hitting everything in the room.

Try it sometime. I got far more useful and "rare" runes by doing LK runs (plus a Stormshield from a barrel) than doing regular monster killing.

Slap on some FRW boots and some FRW charms and set it to players8 and pop like mad.

WHATTT!!??

You got several ists and higher from countess ?
Without using a stupid bot ?
How is this possible, i ran her prolly over 100 times and I got 1 ko, rest lower.
Now i never go near her because she drop so poorly(for me).

I've gotten a mal and a jah from the council memebers near mephisto in hell, and i've seen ists drop in hell cows. Unfortunately i had just started playing diablo when i got the ist and traded it away for something crummy :rant:

My theory is that you get better rune drops if you have a really high lvl character. I'm not sure if this makes any sense though, it's probably just Diablo superstition at play... :lol:

It's superstition, unless... the "really high level char" kills faster than the other ones. Even if it's just by 10% --- killing 110 monsters instead of 100 means 10 more monsters that could drop a rune.

these ppl find the high rune there cuz a lot of ppl run them, i found a jah rune last ladder season running ancient tunnels with a blizzard sorc, saw a gul rune and ohm rune in same chaos run doing quest(i **** you not)didnt get them :grrr:

now i do maybe 100s of runs a week more or less, but if you kill enough things in full games you will see them, just keep your eyes open. in the time i have been playing i have fouond maybe 10 runes from vex up, so it will happen, it just a matter of time
