Ettin Rune Farming...

worth it still or no?

just wondering

no..runes are cheap now,Superior absorbtion was 55k at trader before Factions,now it is about 200gold and it is same with every rune

hasnt been for 2 years now....

alright thanks

haha i'm not much of a player anymore, so i'm not totally up to date

insignias made rune farming crappy.
chances to get a minor strength or vigor rune are so low now...

I've not farmed in a while there too, maybe since Nightfall came out. For kicks I went back there on my ele a couple of months ago, in Normal Mode. Got a Superior Fire Magic Rune, Superior Death Magic Rune and a Major Vigor Rune on my one and only pass

If I recall correctly, no Paragon, Dervish, Ritualist or Assassin runes drop there, only the 6 core classes.

It's not that profitable anymore if you want to sell off your drops. Might be an ok farm though if you want to spec up your core-class heroes (needless to say, my above runes went to SF ele and MM heroes).

But like Valeria said, with insignias adding to the "probability to drop" mix, chances of getting good ones have been reduced. Might do that run for crafting materials instead.

or to ID golds

Nah there is no point anymore as nearly all runes are worth less than 1k

WTH i cleared the entire cave of ettins in HM and did not get a single gold, not a single rune, not even a single purple. I got humps and gold

I still make several passes, solo, from Beetletun to Hot Springs and back at least 1 day a week. I accumulate about 1k, quite a bit of materials, and a varying amounts of runes/insignias each pass. Worth messing with when nothing better to do, or at least to me it is.
