sorry to revive a dead post here, anyone on the east coast realm have any spare ohm or jah runes lying around?
Collect flawless gems. Convert them into perfect gems until you have 20 perfect gems. Trade them for your high runes. Works on and off ladder.
Order of Operations for Diablo Noobs:
1. Create hammer paladin. Level to 90 (NoTrist-15, NoTomb-20, NoCow-24, Ancients-25, NoBaal-40, NiBaal-60, HeBaal-90). Only as much strength and dex as you need for gear, no energy (if you play ladder), rest into vitality.
2. If you play ladder, get an act 2 merc and give him a polearm with the following runes: Ral, Tir, Tal, Sol. Ni/HeCountess often drops Sols, if you can't trade for one.
Insight 4 Socket Polearms/Staves Ral + Tir + Tal + Sol Level 10-17 Meditation Aura When Equipped (varies)

3. Collect keys (HeCountess-Key1, HeSummoner-Key2, HeNih-Key3. Along the way you'll pick up flawless gems. Keep and convert to perfect gems.
4. Trade keysets (3 of each key) and sets of 20 pgems for high runes.
5. If you can't mooch an Enigma off someone, trade for these following runes: Jah, Ber. Find three-socketed armor with at least over 450 defense and strength requiring no more than 120. This will allow you to search for items more quickly.
Enigma 3 Socket Body Armor Jah + Ith + Ber +2 To All Skills
+45% Faster Run/Walk

6. Once you're set, build a zeal/smiter. One point to smite, max zeal, max fanat, max sac, max holy shield, rest into smite or defiance. Follow this guide:
http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=425449. Level him to 85+. Now you can take keys you earn and get +3 skill torches with uber tristram runs. If you have a friend, get them to use battle orders or enchant on you to make things easier.
