I dont understand the hole DClone thing. Why its made so hard for offline players, while online you basically get them for free? Never found an SoJ and i would like to use one too.

Dclone was originally invented as a way to combat the mass flood of duped SoJs on D2:LoD - the Annihilus was basically the endgame reward for getting rid of duped SoJs. Also, it was designed as a community effort, that's why it takes so many to sell and why dclone spawns in all online games (on the same server IP in D2:LoD, on all servers region-wide in D2R).

In D2R, the SoJs for walks have been mostly been sourced via botting (D2R has had a huge botting problem since ladder season 2 at least).

Btw, offline you only need one SoJ. Yes, they're hard to find, but at least you don't have to find 125... Also, back in D2:LoD, you couldn't even do that - annis were impossible to get offline, same with torches.

You can get Anni for free if you are online at the right time. If the spawn occurs at night, or when you're at work, or even online, but just not ready, you're out of luck.
I wish we had more control over spawning our DClones on BN, like in SP.
