Now here's the funny part. As soon as I complain to you guys that I'm not finding any runes worth keeping guess what happens :D

I didn't have time to get a ground S/S because a horde of smug monsters were about to eat me alive...

I play without dirext.tvt ladder RW enabling and plugy - in other words I play the game without modifikations.

Alright on normal I would suggest that you farm Mephi to get some good items - for instance sigons gloves, belt, boots and shield. You'll get a Shael rather fast, så find a good 3s armor (Gothic Plate is a good option, because you're needing 75 strength for Sigons Shield) - and then you can pretty much finish act 5 without any problems.

In nightmare I would get Act 1-2 rather quick over with - if you haven't got a shael, find one from Countess - to do some Mephi runs. You can do LK runs if you want to. But your main priority is Mephi-farming. The reason for this is that Mephi will give you most of your end game items even though it's only nightmare difficulty so get a good map and do Meph runs in 45-60seconds. For your info I farmed him A LOT! So it's no coincidence that my items are good.

Afterwards you can attempt some Pindleruns (I found Shaftstop here for instance) when you've farmed Mephi and gotten sick of it - maybe gamble a 20ias/3java pair of gloves which I didn't succeed in. Eldritch is a nice place to run as well providing good resistance.

Now in Hell the real WT starts... Tbh I've had a relatively easy run through Hell. It took some time but I was never really close to dying. And that is because I found the items needed for Hell on Nightmare.

Shael is used for Peace made of amn, thul and shael.

About imbueing... It's up to you but I would recommend waiting until a much higher level because the benefit of an imbued javelin in the low levels is not really existing compared to what you may find elsewhere.

In general the higher level the better chance of getting a good item when using the imbue quest (probably to some sort of limit).

Well it is in fact quite usable providing 2 zon skills, fhr, cold resist and a level 15 valkyrie (skill points saved since you only need 1 pt. in this). There are better options but I use mine from normal which is a Gotch Plate Peace and I'm at A5 Hell now - haven't found any better replacement.

Direct text isn't modding. :bonk:

It's in the natural game files.
Edit: you shouldn't skip meph council. They drop excep uniques.
