This quest is repeatable on new games (though you only get the chest the first time) and you can kill her repeatedly for rune drops.
The Countess can be found in the Forgotten Tower Level 5, a side dungeon in the Black Marsh area in Act 1. Then continue to farm her as needed in normal to nightmare mode to create your first runewords (very powerful weapons/armor > list in #10)-Countess Rune Drops: (Always kill on /players1) Normal: Neither The Countess nor the Hellforge will ever drop an Ohm rune on any difficulty. On Hell, the Countess can drop anything from El to Ist or Lo runes, while every rune above Ist will drop less often.
Increasing PS decreases No Drop, increasing the likelihood of receiving the maximum number of items. If she goes too far, her chest will not open. Basically, she has one guaranteed Rune drop and then a 'bonus' Rune drop.
The countess has a % chance to drop Ith, El and Eth Runes. Farming her can be a chore, given the amount of leg-work it takes to reach her, but it’s arguably worthwhile - especially for new players on Normal and Nightmare difficulty, as she’s almost guaranteed to drop 1-3 runes every time you kill her. It is estimated that the Countess has an 8% chance to drop a Key of Terror on Hell difficulty. You can rely on your mercenary to do the heavy lifting, assuming a good loadout. Her special rune drop only goes up to Ist. The Countess also has a chance to drop the Key of Terror, which is required for the Pandemonium Event. Her normal drop goes up to Lo, but she’s no more likely to drop a Lo rune than any other Single runes can drop anywhere in Diablo 2: Resurrected, starting in Normal difficulty through to Hell difficulty. Hence combining both of them is enough to mow down waves of enemy hordes.Īdditionally, Zealot has an extra advantage where it can use Holy Shield to defend as Zealot Paladins focus on swift one-handed weapons.That has been proven wrong as a person with less than 200% MF No. Fanaticism increases attack speed meanwhile Zeal skill inflicts tremendous melee damage. On the other hand, a Zealot requires several expensive and hard to obtain equipment to excel at PvP. Making Zealots one of the most popular classes in PvE playthroughs. They can attack in quick succession, attack multiple enemies at a time. Zealot, also known as Zealadin or Zealer is an extremely strong build for players who only like to attack head one.
