Forge Quests
This is actually related to the Rune Hunting and Socket Quests discussed elsewhere.
While this is yet another form of rune hunting -- its methods are different.
In this form of rune hunting, one is guaranteed to get a rune -- the only question is what level rune will it be.
In Act 4, somewhere long the River of Flame is the Hell Forge. Do not be fooled by the name. The Hell Forge is in normal, nightmare, and hell.
Put a Soulstone (you can get one from Cain in town) on the altar and smash the
stone with the special hammer you get from Hephasto the Armorer.
The Hell Forge question will drop a perfect gem, a flawless gem, a regular gem, and a rune.
Unparty before smashing the stone. You only get one rune per smash. If you have a party of 8 and do not un-party then you get one rune. The others get the quest but no rune. If you un-party when smashing the soulstone, then you can run the quest eight times and get eight runes.
The idea is to do this with special mules in normal, tweak them to nm, do Hell Forge in nm, tweak them to hell, then do Hell Forge in hell.
