The odds of a given monster dropping a given rune are very complicated to figure. Higher level monsters (and chests) can drop higher level runes (generally speaking). Some monsters, the wraith-types, have up to 4x better odds to drop runes (partially to compensate for the fact that they drop no normal item). The Countess drops runes at a very high rate, and one rune can always be obtained as part of the Hellforge Quest reward.
For more information:
- The Rune Hunting page evaluates rune drop odds and recommends how best to find runes.
- The Item Generation Tutorial contains much detail on item drops.
