Countess runes & making runewords

[Brista]

But various tests seem to indicate that the highest rune is the Gul-rune.

Now that's very interesting

Considering that the Countess' Rune TC drops up to IST, the one before GUL and from her regular drop she can drop up to LO it means the Countess (approx run time 3-5 mins) will turn up better runes than the Hellforge (time to run a mule up there several hours)

You may well be right about the Hellforge drop being hard-coded, I certainly can't see it in the text files

Thanks Ernie
