    I have to ask after i've heard of people getting like 3 zods in a week on the server. Also, i jsut started and have been running Hell Countess maybe only a few hundred times and the drop rates seem pretty inflated. Can someone confirm?

    Increased drop rates only means that bosses and some special area mobs like pindle have a higher chance of dropping more uniques and solo farming is as rewarding if you would use a full game.
    Drop rate of runes is just normal drop rate and random.
    Can get 2 jah in a day or go weeks without finding anything. Its all about luck.
    Also mob density and frequency you farm will help a lot with finding runes.
    High populated areas like worldstone keep or cows will have better chances of finding runes compared to areas where there are hardly any mobs.
    And with frequency, well someone doing 40-50 runs an hour will have a better chance of finding runes/items than someone doing 15-25 runs an hour.
    Like i said earlier, all about luck.

    Any idea when the server restart will be? April 2020? I want to get back to D2. But don't really have the time to grind 2 times. :D

    Thank you. I was just curious about the drop rates, but thanks for the additional info :D. Zod is like 1:30,000,000

    @SorceCode, not sure where you've read that but the mentioned rate is incorrect. I recommend you don't rely on those kind of numbers anyway and just enjoy the game.
    Besides what @inayat mentioned in his post, keep in mind that in here drop rates alone will be as you'd be farming in a full game already but other than that it's all about fast clearing, mobs density and luck.
    Also, hearing and actually seeing it are two different things but you will have a higher chance of getting a zod rune for sure in here unlike in battlenet.

    I was using ATMA to learn drop rates.

    Blizzard increased the drop rate of high runes in 1.13 compared to older versions so that rate is obsolete. Mobs density, fast clearing, frequency, luck and repeat is all you really need to focus on.

    Drops in the server are a bit higher than they tend to be in Vanilla regardless of the already introduced upgrades you can find on the news page.

    Nevertheless, It's all about luck and RNG as said above. If your char isn't strong to handle 7 players game on it's own, decrease it to 3 players to benefit the most and try not to think too much about getting HR's they do drop often enough, and remember. Countess is always a safer choice :)

    Hi, I'm sorry, I know that's irrelevant for topic, but am I able to use some kind of "/players 8" command on this server to set game difficulty? I was trying it but it doesn't work

    From version 1.09 onward, the player setting can be changed arbitrarily in Single Player mode, open battle.net and non battle.net Multiplayer mode.
    In other words no you can't use that command on our server,and I've never seen a server with that implementation...I might be wrong tho.

    As @NaBelea mentioned, "/player x" command is a single-player mode only command and does not work in multiplayer mode. If you wish to run solo baals for experience you can simply open more loaders.
