A named Heroic rune can be pursued efficiently by matching its Journal source to a Legion route and keeping it visible.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
The Legion enemy activity or area named in the current Rune Farming route for the selected Heroic rune.
Treat Legion enemies as a target only when the particular Heroic rune’s current source entry supports that route. Rune sourcing can vary by item, so identify the exact rune first, then clear the matching Legion activity and preserve a suitable base if the build requires one.
Identify the exact Heroic rune needed for your build.
Unlock the area, activity, and difficulty listed for that rune.
Set a filter for the rune, usable rune alternatives, and any required runeword base.
Search the Adventure Journal for the exact Heroic rune name.
Confirm that the entry or current Rune Farming route identifies Legion enemies as a source.
Travel to the named Legion activity and choose a difficulty you can clear consistently.
Set the filter to show the target rune and the matching base requirements for its intended use.
Clear Legion packs, collecting visible runes and relevant bases as you advance.
After each run, check whether the rune or a suitable substitute improves the build.
Compare a consistent sample of runs, including deaths, travel, and sorting time.
Farming tips
A filter should retain the exact base even if its rarity is low when the socket layout is correct.
If the entry does not name Legion, switch to the source it does name rather than testing unrelated packs.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable while the named Legion source is available. A Heroic rune is not guaranteed from a pack or run.
Common mistakes
Assuming every Heroic rune comes from Legion: confirm the individual rune entry first.
Filtering only by rarity: keep the target name and a correct base visible.
Ignoring survival costs: reduce difficulty when deaths erase the benefit of faster or denser clears.
When to stop or switch
Stop once the target rune and required base are secured or your build goal changes. Switch to the exact source for the next missing rune or gear piece.
