According to the automatic captions, you found a lot of different rings, namely: annulled, man old, an auld, Renauld, nolde, an old heal ring, medalled, nigel, angel, Rene Joel, nasal, and 3 missile J.

Deckard keeps a 22% Nagelring on him in case you bring him a ring that he identifies as a Stone of Jordan he will give you that instead 🙄

[@pkowalewski1984]

Haven't played D2 in quite some years, but I recall that both Manald and Nagel have a rarity of 15 and SoJ has a rarity of 1, so each unique ring from NM Andy should have a 1/31 chance of being a SoJ. You're right on the curve, not above, not below :P Quite a nice experiment!

Excellent demonstration of the power of a larger samplesize. Stone of jordan would appear on 1 : 31 rings dropped from andariel nightmare, something that would result in 3 : 93, of wich you got. And the same for 30% nagelrings. they are 15 : 31 turns out to be a nagel, so out of 100 it would be around 47 nagelrings, and 1 : 16 of those will be 30, wich is 3 : 48, wich is also what you ended up with. You hit the exact average in this demonstration, not lucky, not unlucky. Nice video

[@Sicktoid]

Good demonstration on how rare it is even from nightmare Andariel. Some people talk about farming her with the tone of "just go and get it, man" but it can really take a while.

[@wroogny]

Well. Assuming he put the oldest rings from the start of the project on top and then went down, he had an soj in the first 20 rings. Thats a couple hundred runs maybe, and a good fire sorc with a decent map can pump that out pretty quick.

[@biogoo]

Yes, but then look how long he got nothing after the third one.

[@lollipophugo]

@@wroogny couple of hundred runs where each run you dont get it you get nothing, nothing of value. Maybe it is the technical fastest way to specifically get sojs and only sojs but this is a good case scenario, bad case it will be your 50th unique ring after a thousand runs and you will have nothing else to show for it. Only a sadist would do this.

I'm a little bit late to the party, but i look at it from the standpoint of trading. Even if i find less SoJ in Hell Andarial, i still find overall more expensive stuff that i can trade for an SoJ. That's why i never farm anything at Nightmare.

[@raiden000]

Yep, you always want to farm the hardest content you can handle without it slowing you down.

[@Bitchslapper316]

NM mephisto is pretty good early on at the start of ladder when you are trying to gear up to farm hell. He can drop all the good lvl 42 items like hoz, titans, occy, war travs etc. Most of which are quite valuable early on. But I agree, once you are geared up and can handle farming hell there's no reason to farm anything in nm.

I remembered the good old days of D2 on Bnet, where nagel > manald > SoJ spawns in order. So we would farm characters full of gold and buy rings off the merchant on a mule while carrying nagel + manald. Next unique ring that spawns off the merchant would be a guaranteed SoJ. :)

[@youngsomalia1511]

I played Classic D2 ladder on closed BNet for a number of years, farmed Andy and Meph mercilessly, ID'd dozens of 30 MF Nagels, and I don't think I dropped more than 1 SOJ from her in all that time. In all those thousands of hours of play the only SOJs I ever got were, one from Hell or NM cows, and all others were just traded for. Imo this project was a bit duplicitous, 3/100 would've been a dream drop-rate in my experience, nevermind that you only got 3 perfect Nagels with it. I should've had dozens of SOJs at that rate! There was a bit of myth in the classic community about how best to farm SOJs, the most prevalent one being to MF NM Andy with 250-350 MF and you were "guaranteed" one every 50-100 runs, but I think both of our experiences thoroughly dispute that, and mine even more heavily than yours. Grats on your SOJs though, I'm still waiting to find ONE in PlugY single-player. Rough times out here in Diablo 2 land

[@finalcam1740]

Rng is rng. You can't expect the odds to act the same every time. Even 2205 runs is a very small sample in the grand scheme of things. Millions of samples would have to be collected to produce accurate results.

[@youngsomalia1511]

@@finalcam1740 Oh of course, that's why I feel like it was almost unfairly disproportionate. 3:3 is a really weird ratio of IDs for SOJs to PNagels and definitely exemplifies the nature of sample size. I feel like I'd ID'd hundreds of unique rings on a monthly basis and it was always so disheartening. PNagel eventually became Charsifood, I was tired of muling them I got that many. But those damn SOJs... it just made me wonder where everybody who I was trading with was getting theirs, or if I was somehow cosmically influenced to experience everyone else's bad RNG while they were getting paydays. As an aside, I also found no more than a half dozen Silks, Gulls, or Goldskins (those few items being somewhat commodified in classic ladder, not immensely so but enough to still give them value in bartering) in all my years and also only acquired through trading. I really felt like my odds were cursed, and on Closed BNet it was especially a thorn in your side because you could only make about 20 games/hr before Realm Down which really make it sting all the more bitterly: you MF as much as you can, as much as you're ALLOWED, but even meeting the quota is never enough!

[@hoagiesupreme]

After spending endless hours doing LK runs, sometimes enduring 1000+ run dry spells... NM Andy is a pleasure to run. I started playing when SOJs were still currency on BNET so they always have this special place in my heart. I don't mind spending an afternoon targeting them in NM. Your sorc is invincible in NM, the runs can be close to 15 seconds each with the right map, so youre virtually guaranteed one or two a day if you don't mind the monotony.

It is a good place to find SotVM, to help lower characters build up, etc. Otherwise, I like NM Mephisto for rings, he drops a high rate of dwarf stars and ravenfrosts. Also I think he is the best place to find those exceptional class specific uniques like titans, hoz, etc.

[@JGComments]

Bingo! I am playing some D2R now and it is all about the NM Countess and Mephistopheles runs

[@Jormvngandr]

Looks like you didnt have enough Hortons before starting this one, hence the lack of SoJ :P

[@Jreichh]

Tim hortons? 😆

[@mattrb007]

Thanks for all the vids bud. Keep up the good work.

[@jochent.6816]

I started giggling at 50 rings in

[@asbjrnfossmo1589]

The drop odds are 1 to 31 for SoJ when NM Andy drops a unique ring, so identifying the 3rd SoJ as ring #92 points to extremely average luck. I don't completely agree that the other items NM Andy drops are useless in hell; she does have very good odds for vipermagi, decent odds for Tal Rasha amulet, she can drop some pretty wild rare boots/circlet/gloves, and even decent rare rings. Also, on the weapon side, I think she can drop Ribcracker, which when upgraded is pretty nuts. Eth Hone Sundan can be wild as well. String of ears is another commonly used end game item which she drops "all the time". However, even if you can deck out a character pretty well from doing these runs, you'll have problems finding the real good stuff. You can quest bug any act boss when on battle.net - the catch is that you have to get "stuck" in your quest progress on that boss, and only run it in games where that quest is completed. I used to make a cold sorc to run hell Meph in baalruns.

[@dino6080]

NICEE!! Now you got to do 100 unique rings Andy runs on HELL MODE ;), just to see the real ods compared ;) !! !

[@josepatino202]

Hell yeah man. Definitely worth it. Back in the day I collected 48 Nightmare Andy unique rings, that's what the stash allowed, I don't use mods. I got 2 SoJ's. Last year I decided to do it again, 48 more, not easy, takes time but then again 2 more SoJ's. So satisfying to find that ring. You gotta go Nightmare for sure.

[@arbrockatyrrell6512]

That would be one loreweave on Poe with rings to spare for the next one 😁

[@Zosla83]

Question, the quest bug for Andy is only for nightmare runs? do you have to take the portal back to town every time and got to act2 or only on the first time killing her?

[@DanielLopez-zt4ig]

You are an inspiration, this level of dedication made me maybe start playing this game. Congrats!

[@Jcette7]

I also did a lot of these runs with 730%MF to 870%MF until I had 3 SoJ (I never found it before) : the 1st was the #48, the 2nd #114 and the 3rd #128. I also found 2 Tal Rashas's amulets but no Telling of Beads Amulet (both have ~1 to 1940 to drop) and 1 Immortal King's Will (~1 to 300) with 40%MF.

[@tristanlewin4190]

pretty good return in the end

[@Bowazon]

I'm farming NM andy for SoJ's at the moment for D clone spawning to find as perfect an anni charm as possible for my bowazon. Managed to get 3 SoJ's, 3 30% mf nagels and a perfect 170% Witch Wild Strings so far in far fewer runs (~700 at this point). As Dbrunski said, target MFing is not *usually* the best way to go, but I'm doing NM andy because I don't really need anything else that Hell andy can offer, so use your judgement here. If you also need Shakos, Wartravs, Titans, other uniques or low/mid tier runes, then Hell andy may be better for you.

Dude it already is in hell mode. If you watch the video he's running in hell difficulty. Until it reads nightmare I call bs

[@JC31tlse]

@@ttvijimcarried8916 He's definetly not in hell, since he would id other rings than Manald and Nagel. The background video is indeed in hell, but that's just a filler.

A sample size of 2205 isn't really that large for statistical comparisons.

[@NAR-cv6cc]

Hi New to your channel, and returning to D2 after 15yrs. just wondering how you got the pages on your "stash"

[@Jiggerjaw]

Dang dude, looks like you beat the odds pretty hard. At 775 MF (a conservative estimate based on what I believe your gear is just by looking at it), Andariel's SOJ drop odds are still 1:1321.

[@DaegdaGames]

Fun Fact, You can actually find a Stone of Jordan from Normal Baal. This one time on Bnet, I was perming a normal mule game for a friend and decided to go and kill Baal cause you know, perming mule games is boring. PING.. unique ring, ID and BAM SoJ. I've yet to find one from NM or Hell Andariel which is weird but, good to know that it can be found fairly early.

[@rubymorningstar4835]

Thnx dude, needed a new drinking game ^^

[@stevenpiasecki5593]

Awesome videos man! Very informative and love tuning in to see your new content. I miss playing this game. How can I get it today to start playing again? Someone told me they closed up the severs but I didn't want to believe it. Thanks man!

[@rbscrew6151]

I called it. 3 SoJs. I always had way better luck with hell Meph for sojs. Diablo for BK. Meph/Meph's council for Mara's

[@Forty2de]

imagine farming for Mara's... you gotta be insane

[@abrahamhmar7317]

It's funny how rng works. I farmed Hell andariel just for fun, nothing particular. First run an SOJ. I was very happy. Did a couple more runs and later watched a movie. The same day, found another SOJ after 8 runs.

[@smeargut1809]

You’re a beast man

[@Fishbro]

2200 runs can take about a minute each run maybe average 3 minutes. For a casual farmer, 20 runs an hour. 100 runs in nightmare is 5 hours. At the start of a new ladder you can run nightmare Andy and brute force an soj drop, and their rarity is so high you can get an entire full build character by selling the soj off.

[@kaymace94]

You can make andariel runs with a sorc in 15 ~ 20 seconds even in hell

[@kaymace94]

Average 30 seconds online And 15~20 seconds with static offline map

[@copitzkymichael3313]

I found my sojs off andy during Blizzcons, the hype makes em drop faster!

[@s13iLLuminati]

I assume you did this on single player or can you use that mod on Blizzards network?

same and it was nightmare andariel now that i think of it :)

You haven't played much in those ten years then. Or at least not efficiently. I've played for 15 years and have probably found a few100 soj rings maybe even upwards of 300.

[@brawnic3031]

@@SuperZakaru I guess not efficiently. That wasn't my play style. I was never an item farmer. i ran diablo and cows and when the expansion released i ran baal for levels and whatever items they dropped. other then that i dueled.
