Runes are incredibly scarce.

Its not just me is it? Did I miss something?

The substitute for the crafting bench and there is a very small amount of resources for it. I think ive seen MAYBE 2 cold res runes so far. Out of phys damage ones. I have probably used 6 so far.

Is there somewhere to farm these that i dont know about?

yep clearly some numbers issue, we have plenty of rune socket orbs, but so few of runes themselves.
on the other hand I think that loot overall is kinda good know, lot's off drops, lot's of orbs
Same. just about to Act 3 and I've had 2 lesser runes drop lol. I just dismantle everything with a socket because it's not worth hanging onto at this point. Not to mention the 2 runes I do have are essentially useless for me.

Running t15 already and I think I got maybe 3 or 4 lesser iron runes so far, 1 or 2 greater ones. The elemental resistance ones are very hard to come by as well, pretty sure I picked them all up but still didn't see a greater lightning or cold res rune

I think it's a problem with the numbers after adding resources and changing drop rate for some. It's not that they're not dropping, but that other resources and items are taking space in the drop pool, diluting the drop of runes, and they didn't take this into account

Not to mention there are too many runes also diluting the rune drop pool, when in reality people only use 5 or 6 that are useful, save some fringe cases

This.
I do have runes dropping but not the one(s) I'd actually want to use (the phys damage for weapons, for example).

ya ive been rolling about 3 levels now in maps with 2 open sockets in my weapon.
I agree with this. I can't "fix my resistances" at all, because I don't have enough of these. At the very least the Lesser versions need a big bump in drop rate
Cool, so it's not just my imagination. First time ever, I have all the artificer's orbs I could want, but no runes to socket. Weird.
Living the Hollow Palm live, and loving it. Stay sane, exiles!
Worst part is the ones that do drop are stupid attribute ones over and over! we need resistance runes or a crafting bench GGG its just ridiculous at this point
Why does this loot game always have loot issues????
