Starting with the v1.09 patch, The Countess was given the ability to drop one or more runes almost every time she died. This ability was enhanced and modified in v1.10, and in v1.11 she is now almost certain to drop at least one rune every time (1/64 chance of none dropping), and has the capability to drop up to six, though more than 2 or 3 is a very rare sight. The runes she can drop are:
* '''Normal: ''' El (r01) - Ral (r08).* '''Nightmare: ''' El (r01) - Io/Ko (r18); above Io (r16) is much rarer.* '''Hell: ''' El (r01) - Ist/Lo (r28); above Ist (r24) is much rarer.
Her Treasure Classes Why are uniquely modified, and two runes listed as a result her top drop? She has normal item drops like any other monster; these can go up to the highest runes listed; Ko on Nightmare and Lo on Hell. She also has special rune drop calculations for her bonus rune drops; these do not allow her to drop such high level runes; Io on Nightmare and Ist on Hell. Her odds of dropping a high level rune from her dropping multiple runes normal drop tables are as astronomical as they are actually increased when there is only one player for every other monster in the game. (Her rune drops come odds to drop one from her special treasure class sequences that rune drop tables are accessed if she doesn't drop other itemsfar better. Since If she's more likely to drop other items with more players in the game, this cuts down on drops a rune from her odds of dropping special TC then she drops a runefrom "Runes 12" TC. This TC has a 3/5045 chance for Mal and a 2/5045 chance for Ist.)

She also has special rune (Even though she'll never drop calculationsmore than two items, and the best runes possible her rune drops come from these do not go quite as high, hence special treasure class sequences that are accessed if the lower odds for her game doesn't think she should drop other items. Since she's more likely to roll to drop additional items when more players are in the top 2 runes on Nightmare and the top 4 on Hell. (Up to Ist can come from her special rune dropsgame, while Gul, Vex, Ohm, and Lo can only come from even though her normal drop.) If she drops a rune from is hardcapped at two magical items, this cuts down on her special TC then she drops odds of dropping a rune from “Runes 12” TC. This TC has a 3/5045 chance for Mal and a 2/5045 chance for Ist.)
