Check out my site for more information:
Just started playing single player for the first time (played bnet on and off for 15 years) and I managed to find 2 bers, a sur and ohm within my first maybe 150 runs. Haven't found any more yet since, but it blew my mind seeing as finding a hr on bnet was like seeing a damn double rainbow.
First run after watching this, I switched from plugy P3 to P7 and got a BER! Thanks, dude!
I started running L.K. with a new sorc. and I managed to get a Ber on the 2nd or 3rd run. But after that it took me over a week to find something decent (a Gul today).
Thanks for posting this. I didn't even think about the Act 4 trick to save time. Cheers!
Sounds like me... i got a BEr on my 150th run. Ran another 1000 runs after that and got a vex.
That's the great thing about single player. You can quit and enter games as fast as you want. No temp bans, no "failed to join", no naming games, and probably much faster loading times. Not to mention the maps are saved. Definitely increases the efficiency of farming/running by an insane amount. I can only imagine getting a singleplayer bot to do these types of runs. The speed would be unreal.
Xmayne I love SP. I gave up on bnet haha
with pluggy you can do this
spoiler alert
3 Dol Runes + 1 Chipped Emerald = 1 Hel Rune
3 Hel Runes + 1 Chipped Diamond = 1 Io Rune
3 Io Runes + 1 Flawed Topaz = 1 Lum Rune
3 Lum Runes + 1 Flawed Amthyst = 1 Ko Rune
3 Ko Runes + 1 Flawed Saphirre = 1 Fal Rune
3 Fal Runes + 1 Flawed Ruby = 1 Lem Rune
3 Lem Runes + 1 Flawed Emerald = 1 Pul Rune
2 Pul Runes + 1 Flawed Diamond = 1 Um Rune
2 Um Runes + 1 Topaz = 1 Mal Rune
2 Mal Runes + 1 Amethyst = 1 Ist Rune
2 Ist Runes + 1 Saphirre = 1 Gul Rune
2 Gul Runes + 1 Ruby = 1 Vex Rune
2 Vex Runes + 1 Emerald = 1 Ohm Rune
2 Ohm Runes + 1 Diamond = 1 Lo Rune
2 Lo Runes + 1 Flawless Topaz = 1 Sur Rune
2 Sur Runes + 1 Flawless Amethyst = 1 Ber Rune
2 Ber Runes + 1 Flawless Saphirre = 1 Jah Rune
2 Jah Runes + 1 Flawless Ruby = 1 Cham Rune
2 Cham Runes + 1 Flawless Emerald = 1 Zod Rune
I just can't go back to Battle.net after having Pluggy.
Yup, you can't, unless you want a perma-ban on your B.net account.
Irmarinen and you literally can't, since Plugy disables the Bnet button from the game's main menu.
I just completed 1250 runs on players 8 105% fcr sorc and got the following. 1x BER, 1x Vex, 1xIst. Was using a map with a single campfire right next to the wp.
Put a mirror under that guys nose, because I'm pretty sure he's dead
lol!
Ahahaha! I want wallpaper like that too!
Idk if you still read comments on your videos, but I just ganked Mal, Sur and Vex runes in a matter of an hour or so from LK runs. I was finally able to make a HOTO thanks to you and other fellow D2 TH-camrs. I just wanna say thanks 👍
Awesome finds!! Definitely on the lucky side haha
Got my Enigma doing this. Took ~30 hours, though. Got 4x Sur, 1x Ber and a whole bunch of lower stuff.
on players 8?
@@MrWoojohn on players 8 bers doesn't drop
TheShmsrsh p7/8 drops everything up to BER
@@TheShmrsh what? wait, are you sure?
@@mic8405 no , i confused it with lo, but i never got bers on p8 , only surs
Advice: Teleporting to the right is a bit better at showing items because of the way that items are generated in D2 and listed on-screen.
^^ this is true advice I didn't give in the video everyone
ThePharphis what you mean by that ?
BTW, the reason /p7-8 is the best setting (in 1.13+) is that there are 11 sur patterns. It is very sur-heavy. IIRC there are 3 ber patterns but it is considerably less. Still, max efficiency LK is one of the best and safest ways to get ~ber-jah by cubing.
You look like you're going to miss a lot of rune drops doing it like that since all the items don't show in that manner. Fixed patterns means some of the good limited high rune patterns are in massive drops that can easily be missed with Diablo 2's annoyingly limited item display. Or are you able to see them during the toss somehow to avoid fishing for them? I found it better to pop the right chest first and then the left one second after I got what I wanted from the right one, otherwise a massive drop from the left chest will hide the displayed drops from the right one. Found that aspect of doing Lower Kurast runs annoying/tedious, otherwise it's kind of pleasant and relaxing to do lots of them. Decent place to get charms and flawless gems too.
I got a Lo rune from countess a few years ago and everyone told me hell countess only drops up to gul or vex. Thanks for the vindication.
she can drop up to Lo, BUT its not in the 'guaranteed' drop table which can drop up to Ist
She drops up to IST as an Countess, and up to LO as an SuperUnique monster in Act 1 Hell, i think.
Irmarinen right
Friend got Ohm rune from Countess yesterday.
You got luckier than you know, she dropped it as a super unique boss, it’s not part of her “guaranteed” runes list.
hahahaa so young Llama lol, greetings from 2023
is this dude at ur back dead?
Today was D2's 18th and anniversary. Did some Lower Kurast runs, best drop was a Um rune. Also got a Titan Revenge, unique Balrog spear, Nord's Tenderizer, Butcher's Pupil'
not too shabby!
I was looking for Lo rune but ended with 3 Bers, 2 from superchests and one from a random corpse near the bonfire.
himzo stil jesus lol
himzo stil That's not a patterned drop, you're lying.
Just saw your D2 videos/streams recently and I've really enjoyed them. Got D2 on launch in 2000 and played it for a couple years and then every 5-7 years I'll pick it up and play it obsessively for a few months. My favorite game ever. Curious if you actually played this when it first came out? if not, when did you pick it up? Anyway, thanks for the tips and entertainment!
Yep that's similar to how I played it, except I usually did every 2-3 years I picked it up again :D
Started in 2001 I believe when LOD came out
I dont know if you will see this, but why are you quitting in act 4? Is it so you dont have to walk through town in act 3?
Hey ! How are you doing this in D2 : resurrected ? You can't set /players 8 while online ? Even if i go for a offline game can i even transfer my earns to my online char ?
Even in legacy you couldn't /players online, If you make an offline character you can't transfer goods. This is an offline holy grail character meaning getting every item in the game with perfect stats. You can do this online and the results will be the same just lacking in the drop rates unless you can have some friends afk in your game which will ofcourse increase the loot you receive.
could you eventually make an update video on whats in your chest/all finds?
I believe I have a video already made for all of that. Something like "Stash reveal" if you search my YT
Hi MrLama! Rutger again, First of all...thanx for getting me back in to Diablo 2! I play single player only and it gets me through dialysis :) I am trying to get high runes for my sorc, I have been doing LK runs for the last 2 weeks now and all I got was 1 Vex rune and a couple of mal runes, combine that with some Fal, Lem etc I now have enough to make Delirium, however the infamous Bur rune is still eluding me (I am looking for chains of honor). I am not getting Sur, Um or any others, am I just unlucky? Or is there a patch I need to get? My character is level 85, I am playing on Players 8, LOD version 1.13d (I think, it could be c) and running the latest version of Pluggy also, I haven't actually beaten the game on Hell difficulty yet. Looking foreward to your answer. Stay awesome! Cheers from the Netherlands!
I believe it takes 15 hours on average to get a Ber rune from LK assuming you are opening 6 chests (2 fire camps) in about 20 second runs nonstop...and this is your best chance for Ber in the game lol.
odds ain't great
Is that a real guy cotching in the background?
Think I'm just gonna give up on getting an Enigma lol Jah and Ber are just too hard to get ( I don't play single player, both those runes are expensive af online )
u can buy the armor online for like 2-3 bucks if u wanna just cut to the chase.
sweet thanks. I just started doing LK runs but wasn't sure what I was doing
Look how young llama looks, those eyes, not yet worn down by the punch barb
thanks for explanation lama, keep up the good work man.
damn your stream looks so different now. is that ryu behind you?
I like to swap up layouts :D
and ya that's a ryu pic
looked so real haha. I thought he was with you for like 30 seconds lol
When you restart you don't have to click the difficulty. My game forces me to do that. It would be nice not to have to fear hitting nightmare accidentally.
R = normal, N = nightmare, H = hell
Thanks so much. Cant believe I'm playing D2 in 2018. Its all your fault. If I fail all my classes Im coming for you!
Max Kalinin lol same . After 15ywars I want to finish what I started
Did they delete the double "camp" spawn? 1 hour deep remapping still only single camp maps
Does this dropchance (Ber rune) apply to upper kurast and kurast bazar aswell? Because when I play online, I cannot make so quick games. I will get timeouts.
You mentioned players 8, 7, or 3. What's wrong with players 4, 5, and 6 ?
8,7, and 3 have higher chances for BER runes. 4/5/6 will have lower chances but should have higher chances for like...LO rune I think? can't remember exactly.
i have a question i hope you Can answer for me. How Can i optimize my LK runs with all the loot cluster from the super chests. I find its taking me a lot of time to click through all that gold when a chest pops with tons of loot, just to make sure i dont miss Any Runes. Got any tips?
Somebody already answer this in another comment. Hold alt before popping chest and in that split second u can see if runes dropped or not. I also use this way to make sure no rune missed. Hope that help.
10 hours and the best I've found is um. Got some skillers though and a sweet 20 life 17 mana sc. Also the weapon and armor racks have determined drops like the chests I think? I found a weapon rack that drops colossus voulges often
Welcome to the land of RNG my friend :D
Weapon and armor racks in later versions of LoD are semi-stable. IF you take the same path over and over they will have a high chance of dropping the same item. IN older versions, like 1.07 (also very popular to play) they are even more stable, so racking the best uniques is quite easy once you have a good map!
Some things that reroll racks:
1) minion spawning (hydra, valk, etc.)
2) monster spawning (hence path affected)
3) popping other racks
So a good map for rack-running would have a bunch of racks in a mostly linear or circular path that can be traveled a few different ways to pop them in a different order, and with a healthy mix of testing with hydra.
Llama looked so young back then mrllamaScared
is that Ryu at your back?
You know it
glad you are playing this game, i missed this game~
What is the point of going back to act 4 before leaving the game? Is it something about clearing a buffer or something?
makes it faster to get back to WP
u guessing not ideal for multiplayer being maps change all time?
for sure :) cow level much better...
Hey Llama, can you confirm whether or not that players 3 LK is better for specifically finding ber rune? I've read some stuff that p3 is better for ber patterns than p7/8.
I think they are very close but P3 may give slightly better chance at Ber runes, however P7/P8 give even better chances for lots of other higher runes so I like running that
Why act 4
Is it possible to miss runes, because other stuff is cluttering the screen? Or will they take priority over say useless gold drops?
It can happen. Gotta keep an eye on them
Any suggestions for rune farming from 31# to 33#?
Is this also worthwhile in closed bnet with just players 1?
AFAIK, it's only the players x setting (or actual amount of players) that counts. Players 1 will negatively affect the number of item drops from the chest -> less runes. Supposedly, /players settings of 3 & 4 have the best chances for high rune drop patterns.
I'm not sure. Part of why LK is so good in SP is because you can just reroll for a good map and then do blisteringly fast runs. In multiplayer, you'd have to reexplore the map every time, and most of the maps would only have one of the "two rune huts" patterns anyways. That being said, I don't know, LK is so great that maybe even despite these issues in multiplayer, it might still be faster than some the multiplayer alternatives. But it's going to be far slower and I think that Countess will beat it for lower HRs (Ist-Gul-Vex or so, taking cubing into account) and Travincal or Chaos might beat it for the higher-up HRs.
what do you mean by player 7 or 8?
Does it automatically start your game in hell mode? Or are you just pressing H really fast every time.
pressing h really fast
Thank you so much for making this. :)
does this exist in resurrected?
who is the dead dude?
Hey, could you tell me plz your graphic settings ? Is it Glide ? And if yes is it Sven's Glidewrapper ?
No changes. Just normal windowed
Hi llama, i did this and found some 2 vex, um, pul in not that many runs. was lookin for that juicy ber though :/
does this work on bnet? i assume the map resets every time
you won't be able to farm it exactly like this, but you can still run lower kurast as part of a rotation. Just gotta look for the fire camps so it takes a tiny bit more time on bnet
dont u miss the rune maybe when u have that much items on the ground?
Gotta just watch very carefully :D
If you hold down alt before you open the chests you can see all the items before they get buried under the text.
i got my eth cv infinity from player 8 chaos and cows as i could not stand lk runs... too boring for my blood. GL Llama
-light res from merc doesnt count on you just on merc
aura from merc wokr fine just -res dont thats why some1 build infi into low polearms and wear it with sorc so they could have -50 light res and also u cant break imunity with -res just with aura
I got a Jah on Ladder Expansion last week from the countess.
idk if im extremely lucky or d2se is bugged... found sur rune and 7mf 11cold res sc in the first 10 runs
When running Lower Kurast for runes, should MF gear be used to open the super chests?
nah runes aren't affected by MF
it didn't seem you typed 8 players mode. do you need to type it every single run?
wondering the same thing myself
Same here
Does this work in multiplayer
will there always be two locations on bnet? or just the one spawn of fire?
1 or 2 locations.
thank you for replying so quick haha. So far nothing but shit haha. maybe 400 runs =(
Is there any point in running this in nightmare if I do not have any hell toons yet?
only if you want to find Grand charm skillers!
is alive the guy on the back?
I notice you seem to be clicking on your sorc once you open the character list. You can skip this step and just hit enter instead ;)
Ya but then I have to reach so far across my keyboard :(
I do it sometimes. Depends my mood haha
ah ok.
I do it and just look at my keyboard if I fear I'll hit something wrong. Once you click "single player" it's not like you have to look at anything else for a few seconds anyway.
Also, in older versions you don't have the option of hitting 'H' for hell so it saves a lot of timing repositioning the mouse into the center of the screen while hitting enter
Are Ryu and Lama still friends? 🥺
can I also do this on plugy diablo2 ?
What is the drop rate for highrunes from these chests at p8 ?
www.diabloii.net/forums/threads/lower-kurast-lk-faq.720492/
The room has to be full. Sorc and Assassin is best for lower Kurast mf run. Assassins don't need keys
thanks for the vid! whats the difference between players 7 and 8 in terms of rune drop chance?
drop chances don't change between 7 and 8
@@MrLlamaSC thanks for the fast answer man!
I like your poster
why going to act iv and not just save and exit on act 3?
Because it's such a long run across town in act 3.
lol at 3:30 i notice there is some guy sleeping behind u haha or is it a pic
What do u mean when u say player number ?
In singleplayer you can simulate a multiplayer game by typing "/playersX" - X being a digit from 1-8. The game will then calculate drops, monster health etc. like if there were multiple players in the game, even though you will be still on your own.
lol i wonder if he knows that guy is behind him giving him the 5 minute stinkeye
So where do you find jah?
I just found one in the Chaos yesterday! lots of great places. Cows and trav also good
Do you know how to do the extended teleport using the skill tree and/or stat screen? It would help for these runs
Why does my map only have 3 superchest is it random? :(.
You either get 3 or 6. If you get 3, reset your map (change difficulties) to get 6
Is it possible that I just get one campfire in the map? I'm on single player
Yes, you regenerate the map until you find one with 2 and preferably close to the wp
@@FairtoCyclone thanks, I recently learned that you can reset the map by changing dificulty or creating tcp/ip
What's your source for the info about the drop-specs for chests in LK? I'm wondering if the "super chests" in Kurast & UK are the same.
Out of all the people I wouldn’t doubt llama he knows what he’s doing
@@kairu.kun.z Are you a sheep? Just following the heard without question? If someone makes a claim about an interest of mine, I want to know their source - I'm not going to blindly accept their opinion as gospel. And, btw, EVERYONE makes mistakes.
@@jillbluerei4806 baaaaaaaa
I found my very first jah rune in lower kurast from a boss pack so jah can definitely drop in lower kurast
How is the map already showing for you and why can’t I seem to find the fire pits
that ryu pic lmao
The best hero for LK runs is assasin with burst of speed+mind blast and open all chests logs skeletons on players 7. Same on Upper Kurast with 2-5 superchests. Last MF turnament i played HC assasin and from lvl 1 to Call to Arms HOTO infinity fortitude i spend less then 40 hours of playing.
Faster than a 200fcr teleporting sorceress with telek? That seems skeptical to me...
the point of the LK run is open everything not only superchests. Other chests skeletons logs have the same rune dropchance and yes assasin is the best. As i wrote in last MF tournament i have 3 HR from Superchests and 13HR + tons of Semi rare runes from other stuff. So my experience is running only superchests is wasting of time in LK.
Ur wrong by a big margin, poppables does NOT have the same chances as the supers
I must be incredibly unlucky. I've put in many hours, and the only note worthy runes I've found are 2 Gul and 1 Vex.
Spent already 56 hours and found max um
@@jjgg171 oof. Damn that sucks. Are you on players 8?
@@Vandel212 yes
@@jjgg171 Lady luck is not on your side. Do you have a good map with two bon fires? I can do a run in 20-25 seconds with only a moderately spec'd sorceress. How long does it take you?
@@Vandel212 two camps like 30-40 sec
I love your video...
why is there always a sleeping asian man in the back
Just a heads up. Players 4 is where the both most combinations of high runes and most total high runes: www.diabloii.net/forums/threads/lower-kurast-lk-faq.720492/ search for "number of patterns". If this has been changed since then please do correct me, since I am doing the "looking for everything" quest on my own. Enigma is the first goal and only got sur so far :P
Here to correct you. your information applies pre-1.13 ;)
/p7 is now the best.
For 1.07-1.08, it is unknown what settings are best (but can't be changed in single player anyway) and in 1.09 it is also unknown.
what about p1?
Tal tir amn sol
can you do one on how to farm a archon plate lol, I got from lvl 70 to 92 on my bowzon farming The Pit and nothing >.
TicoDK22 Try Chaos runs for AP.
Spam Chaos or Cow Runs depending on your other needs (Uniques/HRs -> Chaos, socketables en mass -> Cows)
Cow runs or chaos runs or w/e with 0 MF will be your best bet.
6 months later still 97 nice hair tho
97 now almost 98 though :D
place is great for hrs
These comments give me hope.. over 500 runs in, players 8, and the highest runs I found was a fal. Just gotta grind
It'll come
Lots of surs.
Just put on some ancient aliens reruns and have at it 😜👍
Why do u have to go to act 4
Act 3 town is so long from start point, you save time by going back to act 4
Ok that makes sense thanks
I don't like single player I just solo on bnet
So… if u play on battlenet where u cant do the player command.. is it just a lot slower?
yep.. I think better just do cows with other players..
Ugh, wish we had this on bnet...
Yeah for bnet you just gotta mix in other things as well.
Found jah in d2r mp, one person got lucky.
this + countes + pick up 'all' runes + cube em to get higher...
*Plu Ke*, the Countess just isn't worth it for high runes, even if you cube up everything she drops. And you need to factor in the time to farm for the gems to do the cubing as well.
due the time u play u find the gems u need for every rune to convert to a higher one :) for new ladder season for example its a good way to get ur own runes u want for rw's.. or selling. just saying tough :)
*Plu Ke*, Sure... but *which* higher rune? Cubing up runes eats up a LOT of gems fast. And even if you get gem drops while farming on Hell, they'll mostly be either flawless or 'regular', while you need chipped and flawed gems for runes from Amn to Um, meaning you have to farm for those sooner or later.
And really, cuging up to the really high runes from Countess drops is just unfeasible. Basic math - the amounts of lower runes and gems needed quickly become astronomical.
Now bnet is a totally different thing, of course.
Can you do this any faster, lol 👿
singe turder? no thanks
Pointless in multiplayer...
why?
And you dont say Kurast properly lol
