23 Runeword Search Thread

good news. my new char is back up to do runs to trade for runes. i'm lookin forward to wasting more Um runes, to go along with the first 5 wasted hehe :-)
wathombe, for me shaels come around often. or they're easy access for me. fairly easy to trade around for. if you do start a shael section, i'll gladly particpate in that :-)
 
you try counting all those "T's" in the 2-socket grids!)

Haha, good point...

Testing el-amn might be a serious setback.

It's El-Io, actually. But if you think about it, testing beta runewords with 1-2 runes changed is just as challenging. Not only do you have no idea which runes were changed, you also have no idea what they were changed with, so basically you are left with:

runeword oo1: The, Had runes: El, El, El, El.
Now we don't know which are changed. Or what they were changed to. Thus it becomes 33 possabilities for each slot, and the the crazy squaring thingy, so you are still left with 1 million, 200 thousand posabilities for that rune word we "Almost know". I am pretty sure that doesn't work much better. I'd say we are better off going through every El-Io 2 slot pernumeration...then El-Ist, then El-Zod...if we can eventually do every last 2 slot pernumeration, then well...we'll probably know a rune word or two.
 
responese to certain things,

BetaRune word testing: I agree that it's a long shot in the dark to try and do all the possibilities for one runeword like that. I thnk on the other hand it wouldnt be a bad idea to test some of the beta recipies as they currently are wihtout changing them at all. If this was done durring the 1.07 list then srry

Classic Rusher: Shareing the accont we be fine if that was all that there was on there. But the account happen to have some other things on there not so related to classic. *caugh* 82 hamerdin with hella good gear *end caugh*

Collecting runes: I agree with whitehaven, if we are gonna get to collecting some of the higher runes needed then we are gonna need to do some major collecting. On us west I got a 89 fire sorc that I could tele to countess with if someone else could kill. I also have a 87 zon who can kick some bouvine *** if we are doen that type of thing. She can also kill hell countess.
 
Further to the Warcraft theme, Elune is the Goddess worshipped by the Night Elves. Nightelves use Moonwells to replenish their health and mana and have special abilities at night. We have an 07 r/w by the name of Starlight (I think it was a weapon but don't remember). Starlight fits with Nightelves, so perhaps El Lum Um Nef Eth or some similar combination is a chance. As I said I forget what item Starlight was originally intended for but it couldn't hurt to test ELUNE in a bow.

Asia now has a socketed item mule account, RW_Hunter (I only made it 2 days ago and it is still, sadly, mostly empty) and a couple of people testing, I have urged them to post their results here. Worx this means you!

On HC, I made a lit sorc for the sole purpose of countess runs. While I do get a lot of runes, and the runs don't take long at all, no high end runes are found in this manner. Even though only 21 runes are produced in an hour or so under ideal circumstances, 7 of those are sol-um and another 7 are hel (?) -gul. Can't beat that sort of productivity.
 
Wathombe,

Can you put the link to your spreadsheet in your sig as well as the link to this thread?

Thanks
 
ok if someone wants to coordinate me on hell runs, i have a level 88 tele necro summoner who can rip up most of hell in a matter of minutes. all i need is someone who can open hell cows, only interested in tele-zons or chain lightning / lightning sorcs because most places I mf are fire /cold immune

Hell cows
Hell flayer jungle
Hell travincal
Hell tomb runs

*anywhere else monsters are thick as molasses

msg my avatar or respond on here, we'll set something up for rune hunting
US East Softcore

i'm gonna go do some socketing in a few minutes, as soon as i get the patch on this computer

peace

A different approach. . .

I've got an idea that nobody else has posted here, though I don't know how it will go over. Here goes:

Concept #1: High-end runes are expensive and devilishly difficult to find.

Concept #2: Other than rushing or finding runes, the only way to obtain runes is to trade for them.

Concept #3: (this is where it gets tricky) Annihilus charms, especially very-good to perfect ones (or ones left unIDed) can bring in a decent amount of profit (I'd guess; I've never actually traded one), especially when traded on a forum (whether on battle.net or on rpgtraders.net)

Concept #4: There is an entire community of diablo II players who spend their time forcing the Diablo Clone to walk on servers; an annihilus charm can be found just about every day, if one works hard enough!

I don't know if any of you have read the guide to killing the Diablo Clone (and thus obtaining an annihilus charm), but here's a convenient link (I hope):

http://www.rpgforums.net/showthread.php?t=223863

I personally have used this method; I now have two more anni's than I did when I started. Due to Blizzard's exceptional foresight, though, I have never felt safe about trading one. . . My best is a 19/18/8, I think.

You guys are making some great progress. I don't even have time to check up on the post more than a few times a week, but I'd still like to help out however I can. I noticed the mention of a public account Classic forge rusher. I've been wanting to spark something like this, but since I wasn't working on the rusher didn't feel I should mention it. But I've got a couple hours today so I'm going to start a USEast account and will make a sorc with no stat points/skill points distributed because I really don't know the best way to go about making a rusher (just know teleport = good).

I'll be lucky to get past a1 normal today, but I'll pass on the account info to Wathombe so all the regs can access the character.

Kudos all.
