My first ring showed up on the 36th run, and it was a nagel. Finished my first 100 last night, but my finds were far less impressive than Noodle's. I would run Hell but the chances are so much better for the SoJ
Noodle's SoJ Quest
- Thread starter Noodle
- Start date
I've finished my 200th run, and while I've yet to find an SoJ I'm very pleased with my finds. The second hundred runs included:
All this with 191 MF, at /P8. I've never run Andy for any protracted period of time, instead running Meph, Pindy, and Baal more regularly. I have to say I'm impressed by her drops. With Dracul's Grasp and the attendant lifetap, he's pretty much invulnerable as long as he keeps hitting. Shift charge helps get to Andy quickly. Aura switching from fanaticism to redemption helps keep me alive, and I'm thinking about keeping an Azurewrath on switch for the Sanctuary aura.
While I'm very pleased with my results do far (two Gheed's in the span of seven runs, at number 155 and 162) no Stone of Jordan yet. The hunt continues.

Why /pl8? I thought Andy caps out at /pl5 in terms of the quantity of drops. (?)
Oh, Congrats on the finds as well, and hope that SoJ comes soon. :wink3:

That's the sort of intelligence that could greatly accelerate my quest!

That made me laugh. Glad to help.Noodle said:
Here are the numbers, thanks to Tigereye. With such a small difference in drop numbers, it would not be noticable. Plus, that in combination with the time increase. :wink3:

Sweet rare orb there. Made for a pure blizz sorc!
The one and only SOJ I have found in my D2 career was from NM Andy. Good luck, sir. And I also didn't know that she caps at /players5. Good intel indeed.:thumbsup:

*cough* according to Drystan's later post, she doesn't *cough*
And for the love of it, don't even think of running any single target on more than /p3 if you're in it for the items. Even /p3 is often a huge waste.
I liked Noodle's idea so much I decided to try this myself (since I dont have an SOJ either)... only im doing nm andy instead of hell. So far ive found about 10 unique rings, all being a combination of manald and nagel rings. However I did come across 2 of these and one being perfect (something ive been after for a while)

I noticed that too, but removed it from my post, as the difference is so minor. While she doesn't have a cap, you can see that the difference between 5 and 7 wouldn't even be noticable. You won't notice more drops between /pl 5 and 7, so it effectively caps (but it doesn't in actuality) at /pl5.Tigereye/Me said:
Even between 3 and 5 isn't that great.
Hey, how's Andy treating you?
I'm really sorry man, but I have to.

Very nice drops ^^ sorry to hear about the lack of SoJ yet.
My two cents: found 2 soj's within 10 days of eachother both from hell and one from each andy and meph(atleast I think the meph was hell..). Couldn't have done more than 200-300 runs total between the two, couldn't believe it. Never had any such luck like it before or after in any game. This was on crap.net though, so it doesn't really matter =/
Keep at it!

Jaago - you're kidding me? Heh, congrats on your one! Go Pindle!
I'm guessing you weren't running Pindle for a Stone, but higher level items?
:hide: Sorry Noodle.
If anyone else finds one, escpecially from Pindle, maybe wait til Noodle has one before bringing it up in this thread. :jig: :wink3:

Congratulations on your finds - hopefully some of that Waimea factor will rub off. I've been travelling the past couple of days and haven't had much time to play, but should be able to get some good solid runs in tonight at the hotel.

Good luck Noodle. I found Andy can drop a lot of rare jewels with nice mods, some are failed Facets drops I guess.
