Blizzard has altered them. This has been confirmed by leading grailer ‘Enpherno’ on his stream recently as no longer can NM Cows drop the cow set as he found a failed set live on stream.
This poses the bigger question of have rates changed? What other tables have changed? Are other things now unobtainable in certain modes? The public in particular grailers need to be aware of all of these answers as then we don’t do what he did the other day and waste 6 hours of our life farming something that can never be gotten.
This is unacceptable on Blizzards behalf. If it is a known change then make things like this public and don’t just shadow nerf things. If it is not known and a bug this just shows their ineptitude on this matter.

Honestly I feel the same way.
Have been grinding bugged Andy / Meph and Pindle skin for the past week, without anything noteworthy to show for it.
This is at 513% MF, about 12 hours a day !
It could be RNG i suppose, but after playing several seasons regular D2 just before D2R I could amass a pretty sizable fortune with that amount of time spent.
Still RNG is RNG, so im still holding out for that dry spell to end.
But this question keeps spooking in my head, it really feels like something is wrong with droprates.

I feel the same: drops were changed. never got so many runes in countess tower or so early a OHM (first run wtf) or so many +skill charms/rinbgs/amu and so on.
But heaya, time is moving on and change is coming is so dont complain about this. and most player dont too, so just accept it like it is. if its not broken its good.
You will hate me but I just found today a JAH Rune of hell Meph, and an OHM 2 days ago from the surrounding mobs of the countess, and she dropped a MAL at the same time. Got already my CTA, and Enigma is on the way …
In the past my highest rune I ever found was a VEX. But good uniques seem to drop poorly, could be just bad luck tho.
Cant really complain overall I guess :P.
i think this is nothing more than like when apple had to change random to not be random, because people felt it wasnt random lol.
The old diablo had no pity timers, and you can roll your dice unlucky houndreds of times.
Seems to be true. yesterday I saw the um, mal, ist, vex. today for an hour of playing gul.
luck? well then i was not lucky all these 2 thousand hours.Too much to seem like a coincidence, especially for several people at the same time
I found some godly early game items on first playthrough. E.g. 20-40 (in total) dmg club from blood raven, some perfect 15/15, 15/3 items, one near perfect paladin shield (res/ar/ed/dur).
Don’t know about NM/hell yet, but normal drop looks very boosted.

This is classic D2 RNG. Yesterday Pindle give me death fathom 30%, but i still cant receive no one HR, or shako
Nothing has changed. The only change was back on 2010 with patch 1.13c where high rune drops were significantly increased.
has RNG some dependencies like played class?
Hello. Not true, works on magic, rare, set and unique items.

Well thei raises drop rates not sure if these are 1.13 D2 drop rates ,but they are rly high imho. And i dont like it.
Enpherno is not an ‘idiot YTber’, he is a twitch streamer and is the #1 Holy Grail player in the world. Completed about 3-4 grails including the only recorded HC Grail. He knows more about this game than most people here.
He found a magic studded leather with double dura after the 6 hours of farming, this is a failed set meaning that it is impossible for the set to drop on NM. So you’re lying when you state you found it in NM, I found mine in Hell but others state Normal it is possible too. But for NM it is confirmed by the failed set that it is not possible to drop.
Please educate yourself more before making posts like this and also don’t lie about drops without showing video evidence.
Hmm yesterday I found a JAH from hell Meph and today a BER from a random monster pack teleporting to Andariel. Either Iam the luckiest person on planet Earth right now or they buffed rune drops. I really cant imagine that Iam THAT lucky. Enigma is already on the way just trying to find a good base right now.
Well how are you supposed to find them? From a random jar in a dungeon?
My post was pretty clear I think. Iam just wondering because of drop rates, thats what the thread is about. In the past the highest rune I ever found was a VEX and I didnt play little. So now I found an OHM, 2 days later a JAH and one day later a BER. That seems a bit odd …
So as I said either I was seriously very lucky and should go play Lotto in real life or they changed the drop rates. We will see I guess …
The 1/1000000 drop rates are only applicable to a huge MMO, with millions of players, playing millions of hours, and TRADING their drops. Which is not the case anymore for D2.
I welcome the increase in drop rates to help out with Single Player or online solo characters.
