Go go!
Hype hype!
I'll start tomorrow. Still not sure what I'll run, but leaning towards AS, mostly for jewels/charms/crafting reasons.
@Excalibur / @Jamie Indeed AS cannot drop Zod except from boss packs. Btw this actually happened in an earlier RFL! But apart from that it's an incredibly efficient rune finding area, pretty much comparable to cow running really.
Many builds work, but Java is a safe bet for sure.
That is an old vid where I just used my go-to Java seutp that I use for basically everything that Java is good at. The damage is kinda overkill. Now I'd probably just go with Insight Merc and drop some skillers for higher QoL and inventory space, and still have enough killing power. IIRC @Gripphon also did some testing with Faith Merc with great results. Moreover, 100% piece probably isn't even needed and taking Arach for faster teleport (or without using switch) is definitely a good option.
Sorc builds like FB or Nova are good AS builds too.
Apart from AS, popular targets are Pit or CS. For CS, maps barely matter and depending on build you can just kill ghosts and vizier seal pack to maximize rune drops, or clear more of it to also get a better shot and S&Us and perhaps farm a few Diablo essences or get some XP etc. For Pit, the map matters a lot as you want big density from devilkin camps etc. Also having such a camp in Tamoe Highland on the way to the Pit is likely worth including (but can only drop up to Lo).
That is 1.14 obviously. For D2R, loading times may have an impact on how areas compare (but probably AS on top still for runes specifically). I haven't played the new patch 2.4 at all so far and didn't check the new lvl 85 areas. The big thing would have been if City of the Damned was upgraded to 85 because that has crazy density. I haven't checked any numbers, but I think the areas that were upgraded to lvl 85 at least used to have rather low density. Don't know if density was changed as well or just hte alvl...
