Do you have to kill Baal before you can start running keys...

Make sure your in hell setting before running her, summoner, or nat....

[DJSapp]

Ah, ok. At least I'm getting some good exp. and finding good socketed items along the way.

And yes, it is a hell game.

[Cubbie]

The same happened to me. I think I ran Countess for hmm... about 40 times before the first key dropped.
AFAIK what will up your chances are multiplayer games, since keys are part of the item drops and will multiply with more players in game.

i do her on average once a day, more on weekends, and lately haven't got anything above a thul rune. but finally got a key for the first time in 3 weeks yesterday! so things'll be looking up for you too eventually.

I ran summoner and countess about 10 times and got 3 keys out of it, when I first started doing key runs. I haven't been doing them since because I have a friend that does key runs like crazy and then we just uber together, but it seems that you either get them a lot, or barely at all, from what I hear. I'd rather MF though than do key runs really.
