1.13b and high runes drop rate

[:1]the new ptr patch is up, and some people on the bnet forums are saying that the High Rune drop rate was increased once more (in relation to the first 1.13 beta) and already a guy reported finding 2 bers from hell cows in a short period of time.

can anyone confirm this info? or at least tell me what do I need to do to confirm it myself?|||Yes the drop rate of high runes was increased by 4x compared to 1.13a.

For example Zod rune is 20x more frequent compared to 1.12. Also lower runes are more rarer than mid runes - El is more rarer than Hel!

There's a thread in the single player forum about it. Check it out if you want (too lazy to post the link )|||Thanks, will check it asap.|||Everyone is concentrating on rune drop rates from Zod-capable monsters. I am playing the new patch in Act 2 NM and have had 6 runes drop: Dol, 2xShael, Amn, Ort and Sol. No El, Eld, Eth, Ith, Nef crapola. So the rune drops while leveling a character will be very different as well. Indeed, cubing up to some high runes may become a very attractive way to go.|||I not that clued-up on the details of treasure classes. I understand why HF would stay the same but how will the new drop rates affect Countess drops?|||zod can only drop in a5.

countess can drop up to Lo as normal drop and still up to ist from her rune drop|||More specifically: Zod can only drop from chests in a5.|||What I meant to ask: Will it affect the runes from her rune drop in the same way that the new drop rate applies to all other rune drops?|||It should, at least that's my understanding from looking at the TC-table.|||Quote:

after getting too many el's in diaruns.
