Um

Well, Um isnt a very high rune, but I dont have one. Or the lower runes to cube one.

Looking at GoMule Countess shows my best chance, though it seems lower than what I remember Atma showing. Is that my best chance of getting one, or is LK or the new council a better choice?

Hoping to make Cresent Moon to improve my Double Swingers performance against groups.

I can run the Countess pretty safely, the Council pretty slowly and dangerously if that helps in the suggestions.

Re: Um

Unless you have some HellForge quests uncollected in NM or Hell (1:11 odds for those drops), then the Countess is by far the best.

I'm guessing her odds are something like 1:600, which is low but attainable (if you're somewhat persistent). If I had to guess on the odds in Travincial it would be something like 1:20k (maybe worse). LK could look close on paper too (once you consider elevated drops for other high runes), but I've gotten a single Um in about ~15k runs, so that's a definite crapshoot.
 
Re: Um

Thanks Sir!

Good, if not a bit discouraging information. lol.

Looks like much better odds than trying to find a Shaeffers or Stormlash though.


Well, I just found Frostwind. Seems a bit faster than Sacred Charge, even with the Cold Immune Skellies.

Hurt my resists a bit, but fun to try the different weapons.

Re: Um

The odds for Um's at LK special chests at /p3 is about 1:16000, but consider that Ber's, Sur's and Lo's drop there as well. But if you really need an Um right now, go for the Countess.
 
Re: Um

The best chances would probably be here in the trade forum :) Though um is allready in the higher leagues, and i dont know if you wanna trade at all. I would say the probabilities are trading > HF rushing > countess running.
 
Re: Um

Countess would be my bet.

The odds on an Um aren't extraordinarily long, but are also improved when you consider you should also run into some Puls etc that can be cubed up if you want just the Um.
 
Re: Um

Yeah, Countess is the way to go if you just want to get an Um ASAP. Remember it only takes 2 Puls (and a flawed diamond) to cube an Um--that's how I got my first Um, when I just wanted to make a 'Crescent Moon' PB ASAP. :)
