The Moo Moo Rune Project!

Excalibur · Aug 18, 2022

Ever since I found that Cham I haven't farmed in cows but a Gul from HF is a bonus!

Excalibur · Sep 18, 2022

After so many hours of farming I don't think I would be satisfied with anything less.
Ten hours of farming and the high Rune to drop is, oh my God, a Zod rune.
This is my second Zod in D2r and fifth in my D2 career.

Last 3 drops from Cows were 2 Chams and one Zod.

And our updated stash.
That second Row is so shiny with all the Bers and Jahs that I have.

LET’S GOOOOOO!

Awesome drop, dude!

EDIT: That’s an interesting distribution… the lack of Ber and Jah is puzzling… not what I’d expect.

Come to think I also have 2 Zods and 2 Chams in D2L!
Jahs were also quite common for me in 1.14d but Bers? I have only found 2.

No high tier runes but still double drop?! Wooho! First time it happens to me and I really hope one day to get two high runes in one place.
With an Um dropping a few runs after at least I got three runes within 2 hours.

New HR! I think I am going to take a break from cows with my Javazon.
I will either move to LK or keep building my Auradin... for more Cow Farming!

can't do it ... cow farming gets real boring real fast.

for whatever reason.

I can mindlessly pindle or pit ... but cows ughh.

How come everyone hates cows?
It's so nice having to deal with so many monsters, it's like an easter egg.

BBS_Agonistes · Oct 5, 2022

I actually really enjoy cows... my Furyzon isn't *quite* up to the level I'd want to be able to really shred through, but I've been running the area for bases with 0% MF. Had a few decent runes drop, but nothing crazy yet.

There is something really satisfying about lining up a massive crowd of cows and then firing off some lightning fury and watching them all drop in unison.

I have leveled 2x FuryZons to 99 in 1.07 and 3rd is at 93 now IIRC. That's a lot of cows. And I have done that only to level up other toons for other versions!

In 1.07 there is no "players" command so I have to create a 8 player MP game after every clear. 1.07 is why I hate cows =)

If I recall correctly Cows were THE place to level up a character in 1.07 right?

After a long break I think I will be coming back to Cows. Don't have the patience for LK and I need to complete this project otherwise I can't really develop any new chars since everyone needs runes. So unhappy there's no loot filter yet.

You got this! Looking forward to seeing those drops.

Haven't put Athena into action yet because I was leveling a new Poison Necromancer who gave me an Ist!

My Necro's Bramble needs 70k Gold per Durability so I am running out of money quite quickly.
Thought the best way to get some gold was with my LK Assassin. Open some chests and pick up some items since her inventory is empty and wow! In my whole D2 Career this is the first time I get a HR from LK!
