1.13 LK Patterns

@Disposition yes you are correct. Just find urself a good map and have at it.

The whole lk chart and this thread in general is due to the fact that lk chests have been coded 'differently'. Instead of having random drops each time you open the chest, for lk - at least for the times you see the runes drop - it seems to come from a very finite pool of possible combinations. Ppl here are gathering the informations of these possible combinations; and thanks to their effort, we now have a good understanding of what runes drop best in each player settings.

Cool, based on the front page it seems like P8 has the best chance of drops period?

It's hard to say because I'm sure P7/8 has been ran a lot more extensively than the others?

Also, on the note of maps, it really depends on your goals. Early on I like maps that have racks on the route that drop specific bases depending on the build and I feel like in my first 1000-2000 runs on a new character I'm hitting a lot more poppables for charms and jewels/gems for crafting etc. After a while you get a good collection of charms and if you get some of the crafts you wanted to you may even have less motivation to craft so I tend to focus more exclusively on runes and finishing up the higher end runewords that I wanted.

Linear maps are really good with TK because you can make more efficient use of the WPS. On a Sorceress for example, I would roll a map with WP -> Campfire -> Campfire all in succession going in one direction. This way you can teleport to the furthest set, hit the chests, teleport to the closest set, hit the chest-> teleport to just in range of the WP, TK, and go to act 4.

For characters that don't naturally get teleport/TK it's more efficient to build in to run speed anyway (40 FRW boots, M'avina's belt, Harmony swap etc) so I'd just look for a map with campfires as close as possible to the wps and start in Act 3/leave the game at the last chest/or poppable on the route.

Some examples of maps I've rolled with minimal effort:

That's fair. Well I appreciate all of the feedback. I played D2 for a very long time 12 years I'd say and as far as when to craft runewords ect I have no idea or when to farm ect, I've almost exclusively played online so it's so strange to think about this stuff. I appreciate all of the feedback and info, .:)
 
Some alsp run chests in river of flame and sewers level 2 in act 3. But those are not generally as accessible as those in LK
 
LK is also a very good way to get charms, jewels and gems.

RoF superchests aren't even close to LK in terms of efficienty, but they can be ran extremely fast, and they can drop up to Jah instead of Ber. It's still more of a novelty than anything else though, or a change of pace, depending on what you are up to.

LK is also a very good way to get charms, jewels and gems.

RoF superchests aren't even close to LK in terms of efficienty, but they can be ran extremely fast, and they can drop up to Jah instead of Ber. It's still more of a novelty than anything else though, or a change of pace, depending on what you are up to.

And its a lvl 85 area so one could do map clears and chest runs at the same time I guess
 
Is there a way to be sure? I need LEM for my Treachury HAHA! I'll do 100 or so runs and see where we lay at the end.

If Lem's rate of drop in NM LK is comparative to Ber's rate of drop in Hell LK you probably won't see one without investing a lot of time. You'd be much better off preparing yourself for Hell and farming Lem @ Countess IMO. Smoke, Lionheart, Spirit Shroud, and Duriel's Shell are perfectly reasonable replacements for Treachery until you can find that Lem.

As for the shots someone asked about, I know the guy who comprised the list is active on another forum as well where...other things are acceptable. I don't use other things personally but I don't see why that would take away from the drops for the sake of cataloging patterns.

You're right, it doesn't affect the information gleaned about patterns, but I think you misinterpreted the intent of my post. I wanted to establish some facts about the situation, before I made a personal decision to distance myself from or disregard posts from various users when it comes to Pat/Mat threads, item finds and tournaments etc.

This is going way off topic now, so I'll leave it there as I don't want to derail this thread any further.

@Disposition Run Hell Countess for sure, you'll probably get a Lem or 3 Fals in fewer than 100 runs.
 
@N4rkoT1k Did you take all those screenshots yourself or are they made up from a bunch of people?

They are from a bunch of different people (including myself)
Most of the screens were taken on Single Player but there are some "BNet" ones as well
I downloaded and reuploaded every single screenshot to the linked gallery
 
Thanks for responding, I assumed that was the case, any chance you can trace back the user for the screenshot I linked to in my earlier post?
