Is an Um Rune a good drop from NM Hellforge?

[Boulos]

Last night, I took my Meteorb through Act IV NM. She got an Um from the Hellforge. I'm noob-ish when it comes to rune drops. Is this good, or fairly normal?

On a side note, Diablo went down really easily even on P8. Meteorbs are fun.

i was happy enough to get an um from the hell hellforge :P

[farting bob]

Yes, an Um from NM is very good. the NM hellforge can drop up to Ist.
I just got a Lem from hell hellfoge, which is pretty bad for hell.

An um is the highest the nm forge can drop. The hell hell forge can drop up to gul.

Heh, my meteorb got an Um from NM Hellforge too. Maybe it is a Meteorb thing!
Though i was not unhappy with it i didn't find much use for it...hard to take advantage of it without having some even rarer runes. Unless you want a Gloom armour maybe...

I have one word for you "stone"

Yes Um is a very good drop for the hell forge be thankful you didn't get an el or some other really low rune.

Nice Find.

Um is the best drop from NM Hellforge, i've got more Um's from NM then Hell :scratch: .

I love my stone armour

I've always thought Ums were one of the most useful runes in the game. it's in a ton of good rune words, it's useful on it's own, and it's in the rare weapon upgrade recipe (i think...). and I never seem to have enough, I just burn right through the few I get. I did find one from Pindle recently, so now I have two ina stash and I'm trying to decide the best use for them.

Um = 'stone' All that needs to be said.
