yeah i did this right before update during downtime. got a second char to 11 just to gamble i never updated them to rotw tho

What's the earliest place you can find a quick 4 socket polearm to make an Insight?

I'll probably reach Act 5 and Level 30+ later on. Level 28 with 5 into Blizzard so far.
Maybe I'll run some normal cows after I kill Baal. So far I'm loving the Cold Sorceress.

But when I do NM Countess runs at some point I must set my 8 player offline game to 1 player for better rune drops?

yes and yes but nm countess rune drops are bad af sadly. maybe You will get a SOL and that will help with insight

Took me like 12 runs a chipped amyth and 3 amns also make sol so I had two by the time I did the12 one for lore one for insight

Does anybody know if I can kill the Cow King an unlimited amount of times in offline play?
Or if I decide to kill the Cow King I won't be able to make the red portal on that characater?
Just about to do my first cow run for offline. Need to farm a four socket polearm or bow soon.

They changed it in D2r so you can kill him unlimited. No more lockouts.

D2r been out for awhile now. I feel like you should know this already.

I haven't done cow runs in forever. Since like 2015 on old D2. Was never my thing.
Even when I played in 2021-2024 when D2R first came out I never did any cow runs

I already wore myself out grinding hard on D2R single player offline. Set to 8 players.
I'll eventually do everything I want. Find every high rune and just be unstoppable.
Not sure if I want to invest all my time doing that. I miss Hardcore Ladder Slasher.
