Any idea why, alot of guides, espcially on like maxroll doesnt give the advice of doing quest 2 in act 5 where u uselly get like tal ort ral rune in reward in their guides. they write farm countess for rand runes for CS sword instead or do cows.. but you get like the 2 out of 4 in a quest reward guaranteed?

Ive checked 9 different lvling guides now. and not 1 give the advice of doing a q, that takes under 5 min to do, and u get more guaranteed than rand countess farm

time spent + reward balance the quest gives you the runes sure, but cows and cs gives you better chance for other goodies

Farming The Countess for spirit runes is a pretty bad idea, seeing how she only drops up to Ral in normal.
But she has chance to drop runes for Lore (Nef), Leaf and especially Stealth.

they pump up the guides super quick a couple days before a new patch and for the most part they don't take the time to perfect them afterwards.

Fair.. but it takes very few mins to find the barbs though? less than 1 countess run


True.. she drops alot of different runes where the quest gives the same



This makes alot of sense in my book

I guess this is why they dont advertise doing TZ runs in like abadonn hils, where you can speedfarm Shenk + Eldrict super fast.. this gives WAY more xp than a baal run.. timewise
