Been playing diablo 2 since it first came out. Never seen a SOJ

[@christopherdeleon424]

If you don't have magic find then chances of andariel dropping SOJ is 1 - 9000 chances of dropping it

[@enikata7349]

I followed your guide.... then one a run I decided not to teleport and just run to the entrance of the catacombs 4th level and open up chests and tombs on the way and it fell out of one of those... so yeah! Your guide worked, kinda :D

[@tehf00n]

True story. I dropped 3 rings from Andy this week. All 3 were Manald Heal. FML.

[@interstellartravel]

At NM Amdy, the chance a unique ring will be Soj is 1/31. Manald is 15/31, Nagel is 15/31.

[@achromicwhite2309]

This is true, that nightmare gives you higher chance to find it... but if you're on BN, it's probably better to farm it on hell anyway, because there's higher chance of getting a LOT of other stuff that has value, that you could collectively use to TRADE for the ring, anyway.

[@lorinlankins3004]

The point of the video was solely to find sojs though. But I agree

[@achromicwhite2309]

@@lorinlankins3004 Indeed. But if you're on BN, seeking an SoJ, these runs are not the bet way to go.

"but but but I need a soj. How do I get a soj? Guys, where can I get a soj? What's the best way to farm a soj" - moron who doesn't understand that it isn't possible to farm one single in diablo nearly all of the time. Sockets and runes are exceptions, countess for runes, cows for runes and white socket items, baal for ilvl 99 charms. Idiots just do not understand. The guy even says 1 in 9000 chance. This guy is so far gone. If it was 1 in 100 it would be worth it, heck, arguably even 500... that's like 2 days of farming. For some not worth it, for some worth it. But 9000? NO I, unlike other people, actually farmed these numbers, I know the weight behind them. Idiots just search "how do I get soj" and they get this crap video. Noobs don't realize how difficult it is to get items in diablo 2. They don't know any better. They might even miss the super important part in this video of 1 in 9000 because guess what, he says it in a very monotone voice, once, no captions, no emphasis, nothing. 1 in 9000 means months and months and months of grinding. Maybe even years.

[@Asgardians3t]

here is a tip from a guy that gets an SOJ quite often > Tranvincal councils and the councils in the chamber where u kill mephisto they drop rainbow facets, amulets. rings and high runes quite often if u want a soj kill them. its faster and u can do more runs on them which makes your chances of finding an soj higher than running andariel. with andy u gotta go through 3 levels of catacombs its just too long. High councils is way better (hell difficulty)

[@donaldramsey6222]

unless you are using map hack to find meph, normal diablo is fastest. the video is on soj, not every other item in the game.

[@Cryptic137137]

Nice, played it all these years and never thought of farming it in nightmare to be honest :) thanks

[@OldSchoolGameSnob]

Awesome :) thanks man!

[@2011CamaroLT]

I found my SOJ in NM off a random monster while killing Andy! lol

[@bobnewkirk7003]

great video, still haven't dropped mine, but I have only been seriously farming for it for 10 hours. it may be interesting to see what the drop rate difference is between Andi and the council given that the council is on a static map where you end up wasting a ton of time on Andi going back and forth. now that we don't have to worry about "Realm down" we will be able to knock out a ton of Trav runs, especially since they may be one of the best places to drop Ber rune in Hell.

[@jeffkrawchuk2518]

Trav can drop more unique rings Andy can only drop 2 manald and soj

[@bobnewkirk7003]

​@@jeffkrawchuk2518 partly right. Nightmare Andi is mLvL 49 which means she can drop Nagel (10) Manald (20) and SOJ (39). Nagel and Manald have a rarity of 15 and Soj has a rarity of 1. so each unique ring dropped by her is a 1:31 odds of being a SOJ. the Council members are mLvL 56 which means they pick up the chance to drop Dwarf star and Raven frost (53) at 10 each. So each unique ring from the NM council has a 1:51 chance of being SOJ. The question becomes: how much faster can you get rings at the council? is it fast enough to overcome the nearly 2:1 odds in favor of Andi? probably not on single player where you have fixed maps, but online it starts to be hard to say because of all the time you waste on Cat 2/3. the next area to consider would be the Specter in Arcane sanctuary, as they cant drop weapons and armor so they have a higher-than-average drop rate of jewelry and at mLvL 48 can only drop the same 3 as Andi. its a fixed map so it may be just as fast as Trav. Food for thought I guess.

[@asbjrnfossmo1589]

If you're for some reason playing classic (without the LoD expansion) you need to do hell andy or normal diablo. NM andy isn't high enough level if not using the expansion (which most people will, but there are always a few reasons to have classic characters around).

no no no no no no no no no NO please do not listen to this idiot. Do NOT start farming in nightmare thinking that you'll have a higher chance of getting a soj. This is like "wow my chance to win the lottery is doubled" yeah from 1 in 2 million to 1 in 1 million. You still won't win the lottery.

[@haxanator1513]

Unless something has changed the best place to farm SOJs are diablo in normal. It cuts out a crazy amount of unique rings that can drop because of item level.

[@Vanderlay77]

NM Andariel best chances

[@Hvdtukkihbfde]

Target farming is a complete waste of time. Don't do it. Also your chances would be higher if you were playing classic.

[@Jason-bd5iq]

What do you mean by “classic”? Like prior to patches?

[@Hvdtukkihbfde]

@@Jason-bd5iq classic just refers to playing without the Lod expansion. There's less set and unique items and therefore it shortens the drop table which gives a higher chance of a soj dropping. It still isn't worth it tho.

[@Jason-bd5iq]

[@bobnewkirk7003]

I responded to Jeff off my comment but I am starting to wonder about Act 2 myself. You start picking up Dwarf and Raven at mLvL 53 (NM Trav) but between 39 (NM Tower 2) and 53 you actually have a decent shot at SOJ. The end of NM A1 and all of A2 seem like decent areas to farm SOJ. There are a bunch of ghosts in the arcane sanctuary that have a special drop table (no armor/weps) that would make for an interesting farm.

[@vajazzlerthis]

Hey there quite a good video, however if you play on battlenet then nightmare Andy is just not efficient on the term of farming soj- it is much better to farm hell bosses and 85 lvl locations that will drop you a variety of better items on average than bosses from nightmare- it is much easier and faster to trade the loot from hell and therefore get the soj much faster- all in all I personally wouldnt reccomend strategy from the video

I know that having high MF increases the number of magical drops. Does it also increase the chances of rare and unique?

[@Plantedcobra]

Yes

[@llVIU]

yes but it gets exponentially lower, if I remember correctly somewhere about 100-300 mf is optimal. Not dying, teleporting fast and doing quick damage is more important than MF. And some items like occulus+shako already give MF. You can put topaz in shako and ist in occulus. You can also go for the tal rasha set-up. Also remember the 7 mf charms.

[@Plantedcobra]

@@llVIU The optimal is definitely more in the 300 range. There is a graph somewhere out there that shows the curves of how magic find effects certain rarities.

too much is a bad thing as far as magic find % goes. once you go over 380% a majority of the drops will be yellow. i played for a very long time and i can say that between 320-360% is best for uniques.

[@vincenthammons6705]

@@naps7039 that may be your reason not mine

[@naps7039]

@@vincenthammons6705 I understand but if I may expand on my reasoning real quick... hard to find items, especially high runes to make the best and most sought after items in the game is what makes a game have meaning and fulfillment. Imagine right, you just bought a new game and about 1 or 2 hours into this new game you decide to enable God mode and get all the best gear equipped and just go around mauling everything without being hurt. That fun would last for a lil while sure, but inevitably gets boring and you stop playing because you're unfulfilled and unchallenged. It's the human condition, really. There are many games where you can tell if there's fulfillment or not. Games like current state WoW for example, zero fulfillment and you can basically buy your way into best in slot. This is also the same reason that most of those mobile p2w games don't just let you directly buy the best stuff in their games, but employ loot boxes or chances of best stuff but with low chances of the absolute best stuff. It gives you the illusion of progression and fulfillment (although it's via a wallet lol). It's why I don't spend money on p2w games and avoid games with these ez gg methods such as d3. I have never heard of any d3 private servers or mods(maybe bc I'm not looking or maybe they just don't exist). Passionate players love expanding their favorite games and d2 has tons of them and over 20 years with thousands of people always coming back to it. It's the progression and true fulfillment you get from finally completing your characters through actual time investment and smart trading. That is why people are asking the devs not to touch anything regarding drop chances. Maybe throw in new items and runewords sure, maybe try making unused skills or items better, but the drop rate is perfect as it is and the feeling you get when a ber drops is literally priceless. Just my opinion and sorry for the essay.

[@vincenthammons6705]

@@naps7039 I don't have the time anymore to spend all day playing even if I did running the same stuff over and over again for a week and nothing is not fun for me anymore. make it harder for ladder players that want to compete then for non ladder players we can enjoy the drops.

[@OldSchoolGameSnob]

[@bobnewkirk7003]

by the nature of the drop being "unique" it can only drop once per GAME. so if you drop a Nagel and a Manald randomly, it may be worth trying to force another ring drop because it wont be able to roll anything other than SOJ. Now, the odds that you get 3 unique rings in a single game is pretty low, but not impossible. :D

[@sly9263]

@@bobnewkirk7003 makes total sense. The big question is though... do we really want to farm the same boss/zone for hundreds (thousands) of hours with the hopes to get anything useful? I just dont know if I'm up for that again.

[@bobnewkirk7003]

@@sly9263 sadly that's the endgame for this game. the magic find table has been "Solved" and the most powerful items are runewords that use runes that drop on crazy low chances (upwards of 1:500,000). getting everything TC78 and below is pretty common, but everything beyond it (and HRs) is going to be a slow grind. On the plus side Bliz realized grinding bosses was repetitive and upgraded the area level of specific areas so that they could be realistically farmed. Once your eyes are bleeding from farming Meph and have decent gear you can descend into the Pits; where you get to enjoy the random affix mechanic on the archer packs and suffer the 1000 ways to die. Alternatively you could roll in the Chaos Sanctuary and Worldstone keep where everything is immune to everything and can 1 shot you for roughly equivalent drops. all so you can get that sweet satisfaction from scoring a drop at 1:20000 odds :D Joking aside, its a beautify designed and extremely fair game. the new remaster looks gorgeous and I am super excited to play it. The only shortcoming is that the game is built for the gamer player-base of the early 2000's who had hours a day to really grind games like this, and as a result is very "casual" unfriendly.
