She also has special rune drop calculations for her bonus rune drops these do not allow her to drop such high level runes Io on Nightmare and Ist on Hell. Why are two runes listed as her top drop? She has normal item drops like any other monster these can go up to the highest runes listed Ko on Nightmare and Lo on Hell. Hell: El (r01) - Ist/Lo (r28) above Ist (r24) is much rarer.Nightmare: El (r01) - Io/Ko (r18) above Io (r16) is much rarer.This ability was enhanced and modified in v1.10, and in v1.11 she is now almost certain to drop at least one rune every time (1/64 chance of none dropping), and has the capability to drop up to six, though more than 2 or 3 is a very rare sight.

'Starting with the v1.09 patch, The Countess was given the ability to drop one or more runes almost every time she died. Note that she can technically drop runes as normal items outside of her Rune TC, so 4 runes is possible. First, she selects up to 5 items to drop, then she selects up to 3 runes from her special Rune TC. Farming her on any difficulty gives you access to a wide range of Runewords. As you may know, Countess is special when it comes to drops. If you don’t want to visit the wiki here is what it says: This bonus drop adds 0-3 random Runes to her regular boss monster drop. Farming the countess in the hope of seeing a Lo drop is wushful thinking at best and you’d have better chances farming travincal.

She drops runes as specual drop and the highest is Ist, her monster lvl allows her to drop up to Lo but the chances of that happening is very low like any other superunique in the game. It’s been long confirmed she can.ĭude everyone knows she can’t, stop making a fool of yourself:
