In fact there is only 1 enigma in existence. Let's say he finds griff's.it's the only one available.people don't have multiple ber runes. But it doesn't give him an actually gives the person who found the first item the edge because he can now get some actual value for it. But it can be done, and I felt like farming the torches was the most 'deterministic' method available to me in that I knew as soon as I got 3 sets of keys, I was guaranteed to get a torch that would have some decent value to trade. I watched probably 5 seasons of The Blacklist in the background while I farmed those keys lol.

So as others have mentioned, it's a LOT of rinse and repeat.

I wasn't wildly efficient about my key runs and also wasn't playing anything crazy like 14 hours a day (probably more like 6-8). Took me about 3-4 weeks total once I started. Did this twice and eventually traded up to the 2 Ber runes for Infinity. Rinse and repeat this for a couple weeks until I had like 20 unidentified torches, then I just mass identified and hoped for 3-4 sorc or paladin torches to come out of the bunch. I would farm the keys until I had like 9 key sets or so, then would swap to the smiter and clear the ubers + uber Trist for torches, then would post up the unidentified torches for 4 keysets while I swapped back to sorc to farm keys myself. Once I had the smiter assembled I respecced my Sorc to lightning and just blasted key runs on Countess (can't roll light immune since she already has cold/fire), Summoner (never rolls immunities, don't think he rolls affixes at all) and Nihlithak (sometimes rolls light immune, would just remake if he did). My method of choice was working on my Blizz Sorc until I could afford to get the essential pieces for a smiter (Dracs, Guillame's Face, Goblin Toes) plus a Herald of Zakarum and Black Runeword (got a Grief later, but that's just QoL for a smiter). I decided I finally wanted to chase down an Infinity when I found a 10 ED 4 socket Eth Thresher on like day 1 of farming Hell Cows. I was always happy just casually farming Hell bosses and occasional Ancient Tunnels runs. Up until D2R I'd never buckled down to try and farm one of the 'big' runewords.
