Diablo 2: The Brother (And Sister)hood of EoFF

[Flying Mullet]

And I can survive Countess runs: my only qualm with them is that they take forever...

I remember reading somewhere that you have an 90% chance of a Thul or lower drop in Hell, 9% of Amn - Shael and 1% of anything above that, with a Fal or Lem being the highest she'll drop. These might not be 100% accurate, but from my experience in doing Countess runs, they seem to be fairly accurate. So your chance of finding high runes or finding mid-runes to transmute into higher runes are slim. But then again, you always have the chance of getting a Terror Key from her, so it's not all bad.

You think Pul, Um, or Dol will get me anywhere? These are the highest runes I have...
Oh, and I have Natalya's Odium and Tal Rasha's Horadric Crest and a Dwarf Star Ring. Those are the highest items I'd be willing to give up.

I've several games lately with people needing Pul's, so be patient and you can probably trade it up. Um has a chance too, but Dol is too low to do much of anything with.

Not sure on the helm and ring...
