Whenever Meph finally coughs it up and you move on to cows, mind posting average run time for like 10 runs or so? Curious and I won’t be running anything besides CS and Nihlathak myself for a while.

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 Also worth noting that these are from a dro calculator that is out of date and rune drop rates have been increased across the board IIRC.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.


set drop calc to 1.13 mode.

This is p7/8 cows:
Zod Rune 0.0000893% 1:1120383

I would argue cows since you get 350-450 per run and blizz sorc is pretty good at it. you're right about all wraith type monsters being good, but as you said, inconsistent.

No need to argue all the testing has been done. 1:3161 runs odds for Zod in cows. And that’s /p5, which i guess is the most efficient

Although! This guys theory sounds like a much more interesting way to go!
