This TC has a 3/5045 chance for Mal and a 2/5045 chance for Ist. If she drops a rune from her special TC then she drops a rune from “Runes 12” TC. Her odds to drop one from her special rune drop tables are far better. Her odds of dropping a high level rune from her normal drop tables are as astronomical as they are for every other monster in the game. 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. Why are two runes listed as 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.

Nightmare: El (r01) - Io/Ko (r18) above Io (r16) is much rarer.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.

Starting with the v1.09 patch, The Countess was given the ability to drop one or more runes almost every time she died.
