ive found a sol rune in a5 norm was in the throne room actually right before baal think from one of those death lord things. ya know, big axes, has the frenzy goin on. i know the same feeling playing on nightmare. hell is alot better in my opinion, tho i did find buriza from a oblivion knight in nightmare a4 today. my advice for gettin better runes, well, the countess is great, but ya need to kill her alot. preferably in hell. has some of the best rune drops in the game.
www.diabloii.net has all the info on her. believe ya got a 1 in 5763 chance of findin a vex rune from her. alot better than 1 in 700,000,000 (not sure on the actual odds, just a guess) from a hell cow.
