In this Diablo 4 Season 7 guide, I’ll explain the best methods to farm and craft Legendary Runes, which are crucial for enhancing your character’s power. Blizzard has significantly reduced the drop rate of Legendary Runes from Tormented Bosses, which used to be a consistent source in previous seasons. With the drop rate now so low (about 1 Legendary Rune in 75 kills), players need to explore alternative ways to acquire these valuable items.
Here’s everything you need to know about farming Legendary Runes in Diablo 4 Season 7.
How to Obtain Legendary Runes in Diablo 4 Season 7
In Season 7, there are two main ways to acquire Legendary Runes:
- Farming Rare Runes from Uber Bosses
- Using Tributes of Harmony to trigger rune drops in Kurast Undercity
Once you’ve gathered enough Rare Runes, you can convert them into Legendary Runes by crafting at the Jeweler. Let’s break each method down:
1. Farming Rare Runes from Uber Bosses
Uber Bosses, especially D’Auul and Andariel, have a high chance of dropping Rare Runes, which can later be converted into Legendary Runes.
How to Farm Uber Bosses Effectively:
- Gather Materials: Ensure you have enough boss summoning materials before joining any groups.
- Join a Group: Use the in-game Group Finder to find parties farming specific Uber Bosses.
- Farm Efficiently: Run rotations with your group to maximize the number of Rare Runes you collect.
Uber Boss farming remains one of the most efficient ways to gather Rare Runes, as these bosses consistently drop high-quality loot.
2. Farming Tributes of Harmony
An alternative way to acquire Rare Runes is by farming Tributes of Harmony. These can be used to trigger rune drops in Kurast Undercity.
Where to Farm Tributes of Harmony:
- The Pit: This is the recommended farming location because it is less contested compared to other areas.
- The Blood Maiden (Hightide Zone): While this is another option, it is generally less efficient as more players tend to farm here.
How to Use Tributes of Harmony:
- Collect Tributes of Harmony from farming The Pit or Blood Maiden.
- Use these tributes in Kurast Undercity.
- When activated, the boss of Kurast Undercity will drop a large number of Rare Runes upon defeat.
This method allows you to stockpile Rare Runes quickly and efficiently.
How to Craft Legendary Runes at the Jeweler
Once you’ve gathered enough Rare Runes, visit the Jeweler to convert them into Legendary Runes.
Crafting Process:
- Go to the Jeweler in any major town.
- Offer three Rare Runes of the same type.
- The Jeweler will combine these into one random Rare Rune with a 15% chance of it becoming a Legendary Rune.
Crafting Summary:
- Cost: 3 Rare Runes of the same type.
- Result: 1 random Rare Rune, with a 15% chance of being a Legendary Rune.
This crafting method is currently the only reliable way to obtain Legendary Runes outside of farming.
Is There a Better Way to Farm Legendary Runes?
Unfortunately, as of Season 7, there isn’t a faster or more consistent method to farm Legendary Runes. While you can theoretically buy them from third-party websites, it is not recommended and may violate Blizzard’s terms of service.
Conclusion
Farming Legendary Runes in Diablo 4 Season 7 requires patience and strategic effort due to Blizzard’s changes to drop rates. Focus on:
- Farming Rare Runes from Uber Bosses like Andariel vs Duriel.
- Collecting Tributes of Harmony to farm Rare Runes in Kurast Undercity.
- Using the Jeweler to craft Rare Runes into Legendary Runes with a 15% success rate.
While the grind is more intense this season, these methods ensure you can still power up your character effectively.
