Norm cows for Iro, Pelta, etc drops or Hell Cows for Zod chance? Hmmm...

Hell cows til the end! Pretty sure they're the best chance for Zod and he needs to get the cow king set anyway.

Cowz till Zod!

2 million cows

So much suspense! Let's hope for only 8 items remaining!

at this point it has to be Azure

All other monster types that are capable of dropping Zod have a considerably worse probability (1:6.7m). All monsters above are Wraith, Finger Mage, or Souls. IMO Souls are too inconsistent spawning to farm reliably.

I’d say rolling a map for one of the Act 5 spots or Flayer Dungeon with WP close or CS and only hitting Finger Mages would be the best bet for specifically farming Zod. Also worth noting that these are from a dro calculator that is out of date and rune drop rates have been increased across the board IIRC. You could be looking at as low as (lmao) 1:1.5m for the previously mentioned monsters.

E: if the Wraiths in the Act 5 spots are “guest” monsters they’re probably too inconsistent to farm as well. Haven’t really frequented those spots personally so can’t say.

Don’t forget about the amount of monsters he can kill

It’s also worth noting you need a Leg for each Cow run whereas if you run Flayer Dungeon or CS you just TK the WP and go.
I checked out of curiousity, and “Dark Shape” which is the specific Wraith that is found in Flayer Dungeon has 0 base LR. Hell Bovine has 50.

I’ve gotta think you still end up killing 4x as many cows as you would the wraiths in the same amount of time. You’re talking about farming an area that may only have a few packs per game of the dark shapes. Cows you’re guaranteed 100s no matter what. Getting leg can be done very quickly and with plugy he can just stack up a page with tomes
