Best time/environment for forge drops?

Hey,

I've tried to search, but I can't find anything definitive. What are they best circumstances to maximize my hellforge drop? Does character level have anything to do with it? Players in the game? Partied?

I just want to maximize my hellforge drops.

Thanks.

Nothing you can do to maximize your hellforge drop. You'll have an equal chance of a Gul rune regardless of character level, equipment worn, whether the chat gem is "activate", how many sojs you sold to vendors...etc.

Just make sure you aren't partied with anyone, as everyone will get the quest completed but only one rune will drop.

You get a 9% (whoamg) chance for a Gul rune under these circumstances:

Character level 95+
Fully repaired Hammer
3+ players in the game, regardless of party status

there was a rumour that if you repaired the forge hammer before you hit the soulstone higher runes drop.... but i dont think it does... its just random... and luck :weep:

Oddly enough you have a 9% chance of a Gul rune by not doing those things either

You can actually get the best drop if you squash all wild rabbits in act 5 before you break the forge.

So let me get this straight... I should equip an ethereal broken hellforge hammer on my rouge merc while using my barb to cast fireballs at wild rabbits in act 5 turning my computer monitor upside down?

drinking blood of sacrificed virgins also helps

You're all completely wrong.

What you actually need to do is make a portal to uber duriel in that game, go through, kill him and every other monster on the map, clear the map of all items (either pick them up or wait for them to poof), and then squash every maggot that comes out of Duriel.

BUT, you have to make sure that the portal to duriel is the ONLY one on that map (so 33% chance of getting it first rather than either of the other two). Also, MAKE SURE that you DON'T KILL ANY of the maggots that Duriel spawns until EVERY LAST ONE of the monsters are dead in the Forgotten Sands map and EVERY LAST ONE of the items dropped by those monsters are cleared from the map.

If you do all of this correctly, you will be guaranteed a complete, unrounded 0.5% chance of getting ANY high rune at the hell forge in that game.

That's actually where all the HRs on the realms come from; all the stuff about duping are lies made to cover up this method since people want to keep this secret wealth-making strategy to themselves and of course, Blizzard would never let unfair play like duping affect their game.

Sorry if you're on single player; only BNet'ers can make the uber portals so only BNet'ers get this opportunity.

Oh, and while you're doing this, make a video and upload to youtube for all of us to see.

put a cow kind set in your cube with a antidote potion, and a arachs belt and transmute, then add the hellforge hammer, 4 lvl 96 ears, string of ears, and a gheeds grand charm and transmute to get the uber hammer. Smash the forge, combine everything from it in your cube, add 4 lvl 98 ears, along with 5 nagel rings and you can transmute to Ohm

Bleh! I'd rather keep the ears and show it off to everyone I know. Besides, isn't the cube too small for some of those transmutes?

I like my method better.

Re: Best time/environment for forge drops?

what people are trying to say is that your best odds to get HRs from hell forge is when Hephasto drops the Hell Forge Bow.

You have to stat AT LEAST 16.7 yards from the forge and hit the stone. You cannot press at the stone, you have to hold Shift to shoot it.

Iff you get it in the first shot you get a Zod, if you miss one shot and gets it in the secound one you get a Cham, if you miss 2, jah, 3 = ber....


Sometime you can also get the Hell Foge EBotD Zerker, it deals arround 15.000 magic dmg and 25.000 Blassed Hammer dmg, so it is up to you to turn it into 33 HRs with Akara or if you want to use it untill it breaks.
