Papa Titi ha thanks man. Thats why i went with such an insane number. I went more then 1000 runs between hi runes at one point in this video so yea 10 k gives you a better idea of averages. Glad you enjoyed it
Sounds a bit rough, but it would probably need about 100k-1million runs to really have somewhat reliable data, at least when it comes to the HR dropchances
Hope you guys enjoyed the video. I tried to take all the positive criticism from my first human bot project video to make an improved version the second time around. Let me know what area to want to see for episode 3! Skip to 19:30 if you want to see the overall results! Join my discord!!! discord.gg/8GXyu7A
Sewers 2 in act 3. ilvl 85 area with a sparkly chest and up to 10 super chests, with occasional boss packs. Might be better than LK runs? You're the man for the job! Awesome videos!
That is crazy drops, I've been a huge lover of Diablo 2 for around 15 years and honestly started playing again recently and only just found my first ever high rune (Lo rune) from a random monster in Countess's tower. I hope you and all of the other D2 content creators keep up the amazing work and help others that lost the love of the game get back into it. Definitely getting my thumbs up and sub!
An incredible amount of runs that we can (and you did some for us so thank you!) derive some statistically significant information from this. Thank you so much for giving us this gem on information. All your human bot project videos are fantastic but being that I've never run LK much I found this one even more valuable! You're doing great work here buddy!!! Ty!
Bro, been watching all your videos. Just accepted I’m going to have to start these tedious lk runs for hours. I’m on my 9th run and I’ve dropped a vex and a sur... I’m so happy I came across your videos and started this.
I love when you say the game was generous to you for dropping high runes... after like 200-500 runs lol. I wouldn't have the patience for this. Great job!
I've done over 2k lower kurast runs and the highest rune I've found is Lum, on players 8. I've found like 7 Lum, 1 Lem and everything else has been trash. It actually makes me furious seeing this guy get 3 sur, 2 ohm, 2 Lo, 3 vex, a Gul and several Mal/Pul in 2000 runs and I have found literally nothing
DUDE! Inspired by your video i started also some LK Runs and found my very first Ber after ~15Minutes!!!! After 17 years in D2 LoD i finally can build my first enigma!
Ber is the highest. You can also find Sur, which are much more common, and can also be transmuted into Ber. Just make sure you hold onto a few of the 10 million flawless amethysts that will be popping out them chests, and you are good to go.
I'm really curious to see you do a video comparing players 1 vs players eight over a 1000 runs each of something. It would really inform us bnet players about what we're missing.
I am currently lucky with my map. I got the two groups of huts right next to each other. If I am in the right hut with the chest and the weapon rack, I need to teleport only twice to the right and I am in the long hut with the two chests from the second group. This really helps with the LK runs, which currently take me about 35 seconds each, including the identifying and loading screens. The highest rune I found from the chests so far are two Vex runes though... One was used for HotO, the second I am saving for Exile.
Watching all this in preparation of D2R coming out, years later, and yeah, seeing just how rare all these runes are is discouraging. Makes me laugh how every character guide says like, "You need 5 rune words to make this build work!"
Yeah a lot of d2 players are 10-20 years older now and D2R is gonna be a rude awakening. The game is gonna be dead in 6 months if there is no botting or duping because 95% of players will be burnt out wondering why they don’t have 5 dupe words on their character yet
i started this project 4 month ago and worked on it on and off like 3 or so days a week. definitely didn't just do it over night. glad you liked it man!!!
inspired from your awesome project, I've started my own personal 10k lk runs project As of today, I count 1.8k runs. Drops include (counting mal runes and upwards only): -3 Mal runes -3 Ist runes -1 Gul rune -1 Sur rune I must say, when compared to your haul within your first 1.8k runs, this looks very meager. I hope that's gonna even out with yours as I approach a higher run count. I'll try to keep this post updated, it'll probably take much longer than your 10k though. Did those 1.8k runs over the course of 2 months.

I also started same project. Am currently on 2 k runs, on players 7 difficulty. So far i found 1 Ohm, 1 Vex, 4 Guls, 2 Ists, 2 Mals and lots of Puls and Ums.
Hey Dbrunski, thank you a million for putting all of this work into the video. 4 months! Wow! But man I really enjoyed watching it and I appreciate your work a ton! It's really nice to get such a great statistic on video. Guess I just have to jump into it! Infinity, here I come!
Hey man - just wanted to give you an update. So I'm really enjoying your videos and streams man. Unfortunately I live in Denmark and always miss your streams as it's in the middle of the night for me. Well - I did some lower kurast runs. I actually already had 2 sur runes that I found off off Mephisto ages ago. So I really just needed 1 ber. I didn't count my runs, but this week I've been sick and home from work. 4 days straight running LK gave me 1 sur, 3 ohms, 1 vex and like 4 mals and ists. No ber tho. I finally cubed up my runes and made the Infinity in an eth Thresher from cows. My luck in rolling runewords are terrible tho... I made a hoto that rolled 33res, my CTA came out 1-1-4 (lol) and finally my Infinity was -50res and .... 255ed (lowest). Lol. I hope the future brings me more luck. Sorry for the long comment and thanks for all your hard work man!
I love the randomness of D2! Both frustrating and exciting at the same time. I am running LK atm and am probably close to 1000 runs without any rune higher than Fal. LK is still great though, tons of charms etc. Scored a perfect 40 life/1 summing sk for necro. A bunch of mf scs and whatnot. I can feel the HR getting closer though! :) And btw, thanks for your content. Your PlugY-video made me start playing again.
I just had to add this: Today (2 more hours farming since my comment about rng) I found a Mal and a Vex and made a 40 all res Hoto. :) Just keep farming and never give up!
DB, this is one of your very best videos, and one that never fails to inspire me to load up D2 and do some LK runs. Really well done video and showcases perfectly the power of LK. I wish you still did these kinds of videos for D2, but unfortunately, all things move on. At least we still have your old vids to enjoy!
For everyone who is interested. I did 10.000 LK runs as well and I want to share my results: I made the runs on Plugy 1.14d on /players8 with my lvl 94 sorceress (120 fcr) I got a really nice map, with both campfires directly near the wp (first hut was 2 tps away) in a circular order. I am not the fastest, but with collecting the items of interest I was able to finish 10 runs in about 4:50. Here are the runes I got: 28 Lem (5 of these from logs, corpses normal chests) 18 Pul (one from log) 13 Um 3 Mal 8 Ist 14 Gul (one from corpse) 4 Vex 2 Ohm 2 Lo (one from corpse) 6 Sur 0 Ber (sadly) Pretty unlucky with the high runes and a load of Lems and Puls...but thats the way it is. I took a brak after 6000 runs (because i could build my Infinity) and started to go there again to collect the remaining runes for Enigma (found a Ber oof of Pindle and just needed another 4 Surs from LK). Now I'm lacking 1 Sur for Enigma and I will go on running LK till its done. Thx for the inspiration @Debrunski125 and good luck to all of u guys running this. Its realy mind numbing, but in the end I am satisfied.
Dbrunski, i really like your channel, this video is inspired me to run 3ppl marathon on closed realm. Ive found 2 sur + ber in 3 day, dunno how much runs i did. Btw Ber got dropped while i watched this video :D. And while i typing this doom apes got my sorc killed in a hut. Keep it up. p.s. you should pick magic orbs, pelts, it could be 2dru 3 tornado / 3fire 3fb and such.
If it took him even as little as 10 seconds per run to pop the chests and grab the items, it would take roughly 28 continuous hours to complete 10,000 of them. My guess, it probably took him closer to 20 seconds per run (or more), which would be 46 continuous hours to complete. To put it bluntly, it's stupidly ridiculous for the Dev's of Diablo 2 to expect the average player to have to spend that much time to acquire only a fraction of the best gear in the game, but they didn't design the drop rates for single player, they designed the drop rates for an online economy of MILLIONS of players, which no longer exists.
@DeadlyDanDaMan true, but 20 seconds is a brutally fast run. I am not sure if I was doing sub 25 second runs even with the best map I have ever seen. Probably half the run is entering the game, walking close enough to the waypoint to telekinesis it. Most people would spend a few hours per day running lk
really nice editting dbrunski! just about to get into some lower kurast runs on 1.13 :D this helps me know what i need to look out for. thanks a bunch!
Just started doing single player LK runs today. I spent two hours on Players 1 getting nothing higher than Shael. Then I saw Mr LlamaSC's guide and tried on Players 8 instead - after like 4-5 runs a Ber Rune dropped o.O, got it on recording. Given your excellent video, it is clear to me that I must have been very lucky with that ber rune.
This really works. I found a map with the two bonfires basically right next to the wp. Did LK runs on p8 for the past year nearly every day, maybe 200-300 runs a day while chilling and listening to music. Made so many Enigma and Infinity. Didn’t find many Bers but a lot of Surs which I ultimately combined into Bers and Jahs.
Just got my first Pul rune from LK super chests. I just started doing rune farming so it's the highest thats dropped for me other than a Gul from the hellforge. thanks for the guide!
I have had 4 ist drop for me in random places. One was countess hell, another nm a5 but the other two were just random places in hell. But you know after 50 runs of LK I have a sol and a dol!
By the time you got the 4th vex you were beyond loaded compared to general player base. GG. Id like to see a 10k nightmare countess vid. That would be supa.
I got a Eth 5 sox Ettin drop and had all but a Vex to make a Death. So I started farming for it in LK and guess what. It dropped within an hour. I know that I was luckier this time since it took me much less than the Lo, but man I wld have nvr dared farming for it in LK, had I not watched this vid. The game feels totally different after watching this single vid. Thx Dbrunski.
And another Sur rune while checking the whole LK map, right next to another Ko rune in the neighbored chest. Man the drop rate feels much higher than I expected. Or maybe its my luckier period.
I've been running this on an Assassin for the last few days. All I've found is about 12 Ral runes, 2 Ort's and a Nef. I guess what I'm trying to say is, you have the fortitude and patience of a holy man, and I am jealous as hell :D (On the other hand, outside of runes, I found Firelizard's Talons and a Bul-Kathos ring, so who am I to complain?)
Ok... I just did 1K runs, using Silospen's run counter. took 9 hours and 3 minutes of actual runtime, with an average of just under 30 seconds per run. The highest rune i found was Vex, This was all on P8. I had done approximately 5-600 runs previously without counting and found 2 Bers, 2 Ohms, a Sur and 2 Lo... Sometimes it really is all about that RNG.
I respect the dedication and patience you have for this......i can only guess that the most important thing here is passion to pull it through. I could never do this....again :) allthough i couldn' t manage to do more then 1000 myself
I've just finished at 2,2k runs and got 2x Ber 2x Sur 6x Mal and 1x Ist, not mentioning lower than mal. So I guess you were very unlucky for that ber drop. Oh, and it took mi 19h44mins with an average 32,2 seconds per run.
Were these runs players 8? P1? I've been thinking about doing lower and then upper Kurast. I know upper has a random # and bazaar only has one... But in p7+ I usually try to go for all 3 areas and sometimes run maggot lair for their super chests too. There can be up to 8 per floor that I've seen so far!
Dbrunki, I recently got back into the game thanks to watching your bot project and MrLLamas speed runs. I'd never played the game on SP because of stashing issues/muling. With PLUGY, I've found much joy in the game. As I grind LK and AT, I find myself wondering what run I'm on. Could you please share your run counter and set up? If it's deeper in your videos, let me know and I'll go dig deeper.
v1.14 this week i've got 2 Ohms there, on legit battle.net- both from other boxes in the place as i clear the whole area, given that the "super" boxes never give me anything...probably less than 100 runs i'd estimate as i clear about 8 areas per game.
I'm pretty sure there is no Ber rune pattern on p8. I farmed my Enigma on p3. Got a Ber after 100 runs, and the rest was Lo/Sur/Vex runes. Don't remember if Ohm dropped aswell, but i can confirm Ber drops on p3.
@@rudrigodiaz1099 3 hours? He did 10,000 runs. At a pace 1 minute per run, that number of runs would take almost a week of continous grinding. Non-stop.
I know it’s an old video, but started playing d2 again on single player, does it matter what you have players set to? And if so, what’s the best number? Or is it the higher the better?
Idk if these runs are worth on b net. On single player it’s no effort to find the chest. 1000 runs later without knowing where the chest is sounds awful haha!! Gj tho
SimplyInspire there are advantages to single player. Like the maps. Your right. Are disadvantages as well tho. Everything has to be self found. If i find something amazing that i dont need. Like multiple tals armors (which i have on this char) i cant trade them for things i need from other players like bnet. This is also a holy grail sorc. I need plugy to store all the items
Also note for the people that already don't know: MF doesn't effect rune drop chance for chests; what matters is the number of players in the game. Having it set to something such as players 8 decreases the no drop chance from monsters and chests in the game by X amount, depending on how many players. Also a side note, this is in no way the "best" way to farm runes. It's a quick and easy way to have a chance though, but you could just as easily get a high rune on your way to baal, it's just slightly harder due to drop tables. Just throw lower kurast runs into your normal MF routes if you're looking for runes, as well as countess runes if you still need runes up to Ist.
yup rng plays a huge factor. LK is still statistically the best way to farm up to jah on single player. but your right about random drops and what not. thanks for sharing your tips. these were all on P8 to increase run patterns
Yeah playing single player with plugy just seems pointless, like it makes it easier to have all the stash space and be able to reset your talents and stat points all the time, but at that point it’s more like you’re just playing a simulation of diablo, who’s to say the drops are actually correct and what you’re finding is real. But then it’s just a video game anyways, I guess it doesn’t matter if the drops are real or not.
thats what kept me going lol. every time i was about to say ah man let scrap doing 10 k runs. id get an ohm or sur drop or something. then kept grinding lol
Duuuude, I love how straightforward and to the point this video is. And your editing is really clean. Also those 3/20 small charms are super nice, especially the one with added 1-10 lightning damage. That 351pdsc would be worth a fortune on ladder! Keep up the great work bro! I'll be waiting for that 50k LK run vid :p P.s. how many tome of town portals have you filled from farming duriel?
I don't know but I found a Sur rune from a chest out of those house, actually I've got 2 Sur runes from LW. That place is sick! good job and keep it up :D I love your content.
Awesome job & video - thanks! So if I want a Ber, all I have to do is do 1 LK run every minute, for 10-hours a day, for 5-1/2 days... I think I'll just buy one online. ;-)
Started playing D2 again after 2 months hiatus or so got 2 Ber runes from lower kurast today a few hours apart.. first Ber runes I've had drop. Only had some sur runes in the past I cubed up to make Enigma. RNG can be crazy
Your video inspired me to do the same, so here are my result : With a 200fcr sorc, i have an average of roughly 100 runs per hour (i take into account the time needed to identify items, storing stuff into the stash, and cubing up the gems) So basically i assume your 10 000 runs took... 100 hours. Wow, the patience is real. I've done a shitton of lk runs by now, and i've collected : 2 ist runes 1 gul rune 4 vex runes 1 ohm rune 2 lo runes Damn... getting infinity and enigma on single player is a pain in the butt...
One question: If there pops up a lot of stuff, do u have to pick to pick up some stuff to see the runes, or do you see them always when you hold shift while opening it? I ask because it is annoying to pick up things and costs time.
This inspired me. I was looking to build enigma on SP. After watching this video i started doing LK runs on players 7 with my sorc, guessing it would take ma about 9k runes to get 1 BER and 1 JAH Surprisingly it took me only 1300 runs to get 2 SUR and 2 BER runes :D I feel very lucky Now i can teleport around with my Hammerdin :D And also: i got 1 OHM and 2 VEX on these runs, so could build CTA and HOTO too
lol dude! I´ve been playing D2 like 10-15 years ago. MFing every day like 20-40 Runs with a beautifull IceSorce ...but honestly...10.000 Runs?! In a row??? Thats insane :D
A cyborg, I swear! 100 runs or even 1000 are nothing. 10k - math and statistics can be applied. It’s a huge job, buddy! Respect
Papa Titi ha thanks man. Thats why i went with such an insane number. I went more then 1000 runs between hi runes at one point in this video so yea 10 k gives you a better idea of averages. Glad you enjoyed it

LK is still great though, tons of charms etc. Scored a perfect 40 life/1 summing sk for necro. A bunch of mf scs and whatnot.
I can feel the HR getting closer though! :)
And btw, thanks for your content. Your PlugY-video made me start playing again.
I just had to add this: Today (2 more hours farming since my comment about rng) I found a Mal and a Vex and made a 40 all res Hoto. :)
Just keep farming and never give up!
DB, this is one of your very best videos, and one that never fails to inspire me to load up D2 and do some LK runs. Really well done video and showcases perfectly the power of LK. I wish you still did these kinds of videos for D2, but unfortunately, all things move on. At least we still have your old vids to enjoy!
For everyone who is interested. I did 10.000 LK runs as well and I want to share my results:
I made the runs on Plugy 1.14d on /players8 with my lvl 94 sorceress (120 fcr)
I got a really nice map, with both campfires directly near the wp (first hut was 2 tps away) in a circular order. I am not the fastest, but with collecting the items of interest I was able to finish 10 runs in about 4:50.
Here are the runes I got:
28 Lem (5 of these from logs, corpses normal chests)
18 Pul (one from log)
13 Um
3 Mal
8 Ist
14 Gul (one from corpse)
4 Vex
2 Ohm
2 Lo (one from corpse)
6 Sur
0 Ber (sadly)
Pretty unlucky with the high runes and a load of Lems and Puls...but thats the way it is.
I took a brak after 6000 runs (because i could build my Infinity) and started to go there again to collect the remaining runes for Enigma (found a Ber oof of Pindle and just needed another 4 Surs from LK). Now I'm lacking 1 Sur for Enigma and I will go on running LK till its done.
Thx for the inspiration @Debrunski125 and good luck to all of u guys running this. Its realy mind numbing, but in the end I am satisfied.
The question now is how many of these can you farm on D2R multiplayer if you do it alone.
Anyone else come back to this video multiple times to use for reference? Lol
Dbrunski, i really like your channel, this video is inspired me to run 3ppl marathon on closed realm. Ive found 2 sur + ber in 3 day, dunno how much runs i did. Btw Ber got dropped while i watched this video :D.
And while i typing this doom apes got my sorc killed in a hut.
Keep it up.
p.s. you should pick magic orbs, pelts, it could be 2dru 3 tornado / 3fire 3fb and such.
glad it inspired you man. ive started picking up pelts for a wind druid. will prob be my next build. thanks for being part of my channel!
You need to tell us how long these runs took, I'm extremely interested in that and I'm sure others are too
It depends on the map, I once rolled an awesome map and could do easy sub 30 second runs.
If it took him even as little as 10 seconds per run to pop the chests and grab the items, it would take roughly 28 continuous hours to complete 10,000 of them. My guess, it probably took him closer to 20 seconds per run (or more), which would be 46 continuous hours to complete. To put it bluntly, it's stupidly ridiculous for the Dev's of Diablo 2 to expect the average player to have to spend that much time to acquire only a fraction of the best gear in the game, but they didn't design the drop rates for single player, they designed the drop rates for an online economy of MILLIONS of players, which no longer exists.
@DeadlyDanDaMan true, but 20 seconds is a brutally fast run. I am not sure if I was doing sub 25 second runs even with the best map I have ever seen.
Probably half the run is entering the game, walking close enough to the waypoint to telekinesis it.
Most people would spend a few hours per day running lk
30 seconds is more realistic. And also you need some time for moving stuff around every couple of runs. That takes time too.
@@DeadlyDanDaMan why "average player" should get best gear in the game?
really nice editting dbrunski! just about to get into some lower kurast runs on 1.13 :D this helps me know what i need to look out for. thanks a bunch!
Just started doing single player LK runs today. I spent two hours on Players 1 getting nothing higher than Shael. Then I saw Mr LlamaSC's guide and tried on Players 8 instead - after like 4-5 runs a Ber Rune dropped o.O, got it on recording. Given your excellent video, it is clear to me that I must have been very lucky with that ber rune.
I just watch you video today, and made around 40 runs and droped a BER from a great chest!!!
Jesus man, you’re a machine.
David haha ;)
This really works. I found a map with the two bonfires basically right next to the wp. Did LK runs on p8 for the past year nearly every day, maybe 200-300 runs a day while chilling and listening to music. Made so many Enigma and Infinity. Didn’t find many Bers but a lot of Surs which I ultimately combined into Bers and Jahs.
Lmao what a way to spend a life
I did like 10000 runs over half year and I still cant afford to make enigma ;(
Hey Dbrunski. will the run count resets when you accidentally exit diablo 2?
The human bot impresses again. Keep it up man loving the content. You have amazing resilience
Deon Oertel ty deon. Glad you enjoyed it!!
After 18 years of playing Diablo 2 online, I only saw a Vex rune drop in a public game and someone took it. Darn RNG for HRs. Grats on the drops.
ty bro
I am working on my LK runs too. I made 70 runs at this moment and found Vex. I was so excited.
@Verkins - You have a lot more patience than I do... I gave up back after 2004 of hitting my legit v1.10 level 99 :)
Im playing single player right now, and already found Vex and Sur, 2 Pul and other low runes. I've made HOTO 36 hehe..
John Woody very cool - In v1.10 runes we’re duped so much and the rust storm hit everyone
Just got my first Pul rune from LK super chests. I just started doing rune farming so it's the highest thats dropped for me other than a Gul from the hellforge. thanks for the guide!
I have had 4 ist drop for me in random places. One was countess hell, another nm a5 but the other two were just random places in hell. But you know after 50 runs of LK I have a sol and a dol!
After a few bong tokes i like doing a couple hundred of these runs 😁
All these vids makes me want to play d2 again,,
How can you make so many runs without going insane? After 50 runs, I'm so bored by the endless repetitions, that I cannot get myself to go on.
From the looks of it he doesn't sleep. It's not good for the mind, body, or soul.
By the time you got the 4th vex you were beyond loaded compared to general player base. GG.
Id like to see a 10k nightmare countess vid. That would be supa.
Finally a Lo after probably 1000+ runs! Made my first single player Fortitude armor!
I got a Eth 5 sox Ettin drop and had all but a Vex to make a Death. So I started farming for it in LK and guess what. It dropped within an hour. I know that I was luckier this time since it took me much less than the Lo, but man I wld have nvr dared farming for it in LK, had I not watched this vid. The game feels totally different after watching this single vid. Thx Dbrunski.
And another Sur rune while checking the whole LK map, right next to another Ko rune in the neighbored chest. Man the drop rate feels much higher than I expected. Or maybe its my luckier period.
I've been running this on an Assassin for the last few days. All I've found is about 12 Ral runes, 2 Ort's and a Nef. I guess what I'm trying to say is, you have the fortitude and patience of a holy man, and I am jealous as hell :D
(On the other hand, outside of runes, I found Firelizard's Talons and a Bul-Kathos ring, so who am I to complain?)
how long does it take you to do 10k runs? Just curious
J Hensel this project took my 4 months to complete. I worked on it on and off. This includes the editing and voice over as well.
I guess my question should have been "How many hours of gameplay was 10,000 LK runs?" if you had to make a guess. Nice work regardless!
J Hensel im not sure i didnt keep track. I dont think i could even give you an accurate guess tbh lol
How long does it take you to do a run on average ?
Ok... I just did 1K runs, using Silospen's run counter. took 9 hours and 3 minutes of actual runtime, with an average of just under 30 seconds per run. The highest rune i found was Vex, This was all on P8. I had done approximately 5-600 runs previously without counting and found 2 Bers, 2 Ohms, a Sur and 2 Lo... Sometimes it really is all about that RNG.
I respect the dedication and patience you have for this......i can only guess that the most important thing here is passion to pull it through. I could never do this....again :) allthough i couldn' t manage to do more then 1000 myself
Alex George ill never do LK again lol
I've just finished at 2,2k runs and got 2x Ber 2x Sur 6x Mal and 1x Ist, not mentioning lower than mal. So I guess you were very unlucky for that ber drop. Oh, and it took mi 19h44mins with an average 32,2 seconds per run.
Were these runs players 8? P1?
I've been thinking about doing lower and then upper Kurast. I know upper has a random # and bazaar only has one... But in p7+ I usually try to go for all 3 areas and sometimes run maggot lair for their super chests too. There can be up to 8 per floor that I've seen so far!
Dude I can't believe how insanely good your luck is with this, man I'm dying to get 2 surs or a ber
Luck? He did it 10 000 times.
I Had 2 Ber Rune in LOWER KURAST. in less than 1000 run.
what player number ?
@@maciejkarwaszewski9772 Ber rune is not given by super chests; get that rune by checking dead bodies etc.
In players 8
I might have missed it in the video but did you say how long it took you? It must have been like 100+hrs right?
That 5to all res, 6 magic find sc would be worth Soooo much on battlenet
Dbrunki, I recently got back into the game thanks to watching your bot project and MrLLamas speed runs. I'd never played the game on SP because of stashing issues/muling. With PLUGY, I've found much joy in the game. As I grind LK and AT, I find myself wondering what run I'm on. Could you please share your run counter and set up? If it's deeper in your videos, let me know and I'll go dig deeper.
I too would like to know how you keep count because i lose track after 20 or so cuz lk runs are so fast
v1.14 this week i've got 2 Ohms there, on legit battle.net- both from other boxes in the place as i clear the whole area, given that the "super" boxes never give me anything...probably less than 100 runs i'd estimate as i clear about 8 areas per game.
Just did a 1000 runs. 500 on players 7 an 500 on players 8. Got 3 gul runes and 1 lo hmm. great vid btw.
I ran for 2 hrs and only a Pul this time.
i ran 2 hours and the highest was a Dol
Yesterday i found LO rune for an hour
I made my character a week ago and have only played a little bit. Just found Griffon's Eye today from random mob at diablo. Good stuff.
I'm pretty sure there is no Ber rune pattern on p8. I farmed my Enigma on p3. Got a Ber after 100 runs, and the rest was Lo/Sur/Vex runes. Don't remember if Ohm dropped aswell, but i can confirm Ber drops on p3.
Søren Hansen p3?
In p1 also.. BER OHM LO..
I can confirm there is. The first HR I got from my LK farming was a Ber rune. I was actually on P7, but P7 and P8 have the same patterns.
Ber rune is not given by super chests; get that rune by checking dead bodies etc.
In players 8
THANK YOU FOR DISCOURAGING ME FROM SINKING TIME INTO THIS GAME ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!
The dudes gotta be poppin adderal, grinding mindlessly for that long :D
not bad at all, if he runs a min each run, it would take him 3 hours to get all that runes. not that bad
@@rudrigodiaz1099 3 hours? He did 10,000 runs. At a pace 1 minute per run, that number of runs would take almost a week of continous grinding. Non-stop.
I know it’s an old video, but started playing d2 again on single player, does it matter what you have players set to? And if so, what’s the best number? Or is it the higher the better?
Idk if these runs are worth on b net. On single player it’s no effort to find the chest. 1000 runs later without knowing where the chest is sounds awful haha!! Gj tho
John Lewis def single player only
and you either compete with 2-3 other sorcs for the drops in 8 player games or do it alone with players 1
SimplyInspire there are advantages to single player. Like the maps. Your right. Are disadvantages as well tho. Everything has to be self found. If i find something amazing that i dont need. Like multiple tals armors (which i have on this char) i cant trade them for things i need from other players like bnet. This is also a holy grail sorc. I need plugy to store all the items
Dbrunski125 you did no self find your sorc items. Therefore you cheated on single player making everything you do worthless. Congrats!!!!🎉🎈🎊
@@Gonz721 all his gear is self found, he's on single player. Wtf are you talking about lol
Also note for the people that already don't know: MF doesn't effect rune drop chance for chests; what matters is the number of players in the game. Having it set to something such as players 8 decreases the no drop chance from monsters and chests in the game by X amount, depending on how many players.
Also a side note, this is in no way the "best" way to farm runes. It's a quick and easy way to have a chance though, but you could just as easily get a high rune on your way to baal, it's just slightly harder due to drop tables. Just throw lower kurast runs into your normal MF routes if you're looking for runes, as well as countess runes if you still need runes up to Ist.
yup rng plays a huge factor. LK is still statistically the best way to farm up to jah on single player. but your right about random drops and what not. thanks for sharing your tips. these were all on P8 to increase run patterns
This is a pretty depressing result tbh. Quite insane just how hard it is to find some of those runes.
Is all about luck unfortunately
ya this game can be fucking brutal
sick bro. The amount of work making this video is insane
Khoa Lam thanks lol. 4 months on and off to make this video
respect bro..... !!
Such dedication with Diablo 2. Fantastic Video man!
Pit or tunnel runs!
Vouch this.
On 2:15 you say that Lo is the rarest rune you can find in LK superchest, yet you find Sur runes which is higher than Lo? Am i missing something?
I can't play single player. My temptation to cheat is just too great.
Yeah playing single player with plugy just seems pointless, like it makes it easier to have all the stash space and be able to reset your talents and stat points all the time, but at that point it’s more like you’re just playing a simulation of diablo, who’s to say the drops are actually correct and what you’re finding is real. But then it’s just a video game anyways, I guess it doesn’t matter if the drops are real or not.
I'm just amazed that you get ALL the lightning skillers. I have a lightsorc in SP, all i get are fire GCs
how much time did this take???
Guillermo SP on and off 4 months to gather footage and edit. Didnt do the runs straight
Dbrunski125 nice, praise the patience, good job
God bless u! In Dbrunski we trust!
Just tell us how long the average run took...
high rune drop on the ground gives me so much pleasure that im able to grind and grind again over to see it again :D
thats what kept me going lol. every time i was about to say ah man let scrap doing 10 k runs. id get an ohm or sur drop or something. then kept grinding lol
Sur you did...
Duuuude, I love how straightforward and to the point this video is. And your editing is really clean.
Also those 3/20 small charms are super nice, especially the one with added 1-10 lightning damage. That 351pdsc would be worth a fortune on ladder!
Keep up the great work bro! I'll be waiting for that 50k LK run vid :p
P.s. how many tome of town portals have you filled from farming duriel?
brandon moon LOL never will i ever do lk again
My man has dedication, how long did it take roughly?
I don't know but I found a Sur rune from a chest out of those house, actually I've got 2 Sur runes from LW. That place is sick! good job and keep it up :D I love your content.
thanks man means a lot. and gg on your sur rune finds man
Wow. You are ...... Wow ! Tons of respect! My God MAN!
Awesome job & video - thanks! So if I want a Ber, all I have to do is do 1 LK run every minute, for 10-hours a day, for 5-1/2 days... I think I'll just buy one online. ;-)
I just discovered your channel and love your D2 videos, man. Keep 'em coming!! :D
Emiliano A. Awesome man. Glad to have you part of my channel dude
Who's a real one and STILL watching this again in 2024 while playing D4? Nothing tops D2 LoD
How did I miss this vid? Awesome work dude!💪🏼
Started playing D2 again after 2 months hiatus or so
got 2 Ber runes from lower kurast today a few hours apart.. first Ber runes I've had drop. Only had some sur runes in the past I cubed up to make Enigma.
RNG can be crazy
is there a difference between players 7 and 8? ive been told its just more xp for killing but loot stays the same.
Your video inspired me to do the same, so here are my result :
With a 200fcr sorc, i have an average of roughly 100 runs per hour (i take into account the time needed to identify items, storing stuff into the stash, and cubing up the gems)
So basically i assume your 10 000 runs took... 100 hours. Wow, the patience is real.
I've done a shitton of lk runs by now, and i've collected :
2 ist runes
1 gul rune
4 vex runes
1 ohm rune
2 lo runes
Damn... getting infinity and enigma on single player is a pain in the butt...
Its so rewarding when you get it tho :)
One question: If there pops up a lot of stuff, do u have to pick to pick up some stuff to see the runes, or do you see them always when you hold shift while opening it? I ask because it is annoying to pick up things and costs time.
you can scan for the orange flash of a high rune or use a loot filter to filter out some things.
miss this kinda dbrunski content. its a shame he doesnt do anymore d2 runs
So this is a good spot to farm for runes and charms ? Like do you only open the chests and do you need more magic find% ?
Wow! Props to you bro. That took some serious dedication. I really enjoy this series. I hope you can keep it up.
This inspired me. I was looking to build enigma on SP. After watching this video i started doing LK runs on players 7 with my sorc, guessing it would take ma about 9k runes to get 1 BER and 1 JAH
Surprisingly it took me only 1300 runs to get 2 SUR and 2 BER runes :D
I feel very lucky
Now i can teleport around with my Hammerdin :D
And also: i got 1 OHM and 2 VEX on these runs, so could build CTA and HOTO too
lower kurast chests cant drop ber...

Wait a second. Whenever Cain identifies items, that doesn't include items in the cube. How are you doing that? Is that a mod?
