I'm looking for runes to make runewords and so far I've found a bunch of runes from the "common" rune group (El to Thul), but I'm having trouble looking for the higher runes like Amn to Um. (My character is still not high level enough to use the "very rare" runes Mal upwards yet).
So far my character is in Nightmare difficulty, level 40+ and looking to do some runewords on items like Honor, Lionheart, Smoke, etc.) He's playing in Single Player v1.09d. So where's the best place to find runes?
BTW, does "+% magic find" help improve rune drops? Also, do some specific monster types (or perhaps bosses) drop runes somewhat more frequently than others?
Also, any idea starting which places can drop the semi-rare runes? Eg. where's the earliest place that can drop a Sol rune? How about the Lum rune? Nightmare Act 3? Act 4?
I think a Mal rune can drop in NM Act 4 but it's very rare.
