After an extremely dry period, last week got

Lo from a Pit run; Saturday

Ber from CS; then tonight, about 40 minutes of very casual walks to CS, a

Vex, an

Ohm, and an

Andariel's Visage.

Still never seen a Griffon's, and no

Jah since Nov. '21, but hopefully soon.

Still going strong!
Found a 15 ias 3 maek jewel and then a mara 30. Making up for all those unsuccesful hours spent last year

Found this out of a random chest

I don't think that chest was random...

my best small charm was a 451 poison damage charm

Decided to work hell Andy into my cow routine, first run she drops a unique ring, I wasn’t too excited, rings are mostly manalds, nagels, dwarf stars… this one was a

Stone of Jordan!!! Whoot whoot!

My first 2 were farmed from nightmare andy, one to make an anihilus (I’m offline), the second was for actual use, and now I can really bump up my casters!

After that I did my normal cow run (same game) and got me an

Ohm!

That’s a good first run of the day, won’t top that one for a while!

Hi guys and girls.

Im playing offline as I like self-find challenge. Today was my time to hunt for SOJ as I need

Annihilus offline. I now the best way to get it is NM Andy.

So I read some comments like "Ive never found SOJ playing throught the game in 20 years..."
Well "playing throught the game" and "farming for it" are two very different things.
I saw "human bot project" on YouTube by "Drunski125" He got 100 NM Andy rings by killing her 2205 times. So 1 ring in 22 Andy's. Whole project left Him with 3 SOJs.

Today Ive got 30 rings, dont know how many times I killed her. Around 500 times. The most stubborn ring showed up after 103 Andys. The fastest ones showed up one after another (2 Andy's, two rings). I dont use run couter. How do I know 103 number, well belive or not I just count it...
The showtime - 30 rings left me with two SOJs. Just in one day, offline. Lucky ? Yes but just because Ive got two of them. If that would be one - I would say - as it should be according to odds.

My set up was NM Andy, blizz sorc 400 - 460 MF, players5, perfect map - 7 teleports from WP to Andy (2,2,3). One run about 28 sec with picking up and checking random interesting items. Best thing Ive got along with 2 SOJs was Tals Amulet.

Congratulations, but I would say though that you got very lucky. Nightmare

Andariel has always been extremely stubborn for me... just doesn't want to give up jewelry.

Spent all day doing nightmare Andy for an SOJ, finally got it right as I was getting too sleepy to continue playing. Decided to do

Baal on hell as a victory lap, my

Baal runs aren't too quick, orbwall sorc, low level, still wearing MF gear. The guy drops an

Eth Reaper's Toll. SOJ to

Eth Reaper's in the span of 10 minutes. Best RNG of my life in this game. I'm on BNET so it's all on players 1.

Took me over a year, but I finally got a

Cham rune tonight doing Trav runs on my Hork Barb:



I somehow managed to find 2 Zods, 13 Jahs, 5 Bers, 14 Surs, and 5 Los before finally getting my first

Cham! Wonder how long before I find another..

PS - Forgive the lack of CBF, have been experimenting with some new helms lately and haven't decided which one I want to

Cham. Got P

Topaz for now, but maybe I'll

Hel it and pop this rune in

Have you tried a hork barb? Once you get

Find Item up in the high 70%'s, there ain't goin back!! Almost never miss a corpse anymore

So, I have my fair share of lucky moments, and while I have a few that I could tell you about, none of them truly made me go on this thread and make a whole post about it. Well, until now, because of its strange context.

So! Playing with my Wind druid today, fav character, farming nothing specific on a solo game, until I kill

Baal and find my first SoJ!
Was pretty pumped about it! Feels great! Don't have a use for it, so I decided to trade it for my first Grief! Not an awesome Grief, but a Grief is more than enough for me. (I always disregard using a Grief in most of my theory crafting builds, because it's an item that's, most of the time, out of my reach.) I was rocking a pretty Oath on an

Eth

Balrog Blade on my Barb previously.

(spoiler is the Grief in question)

Spoiler

So, I decided to put it to the test! Load up Trav and see of it fairs against the council. Not too bad! It feels great and a better than my Oath! again, more than enough, but I guess that's what you need for a barb, eh?

A unique ring drops from one of the council. Interesting! Probably just a manal-
Thanks game, You just used all my luck for the year!

I'll hold onto it this time. Maybe I'll finally get to make a nice Doom for my Wind druid.

Insane, yesterday I was telling here my 2sojs in 1 day story but its not as cool as Yours

Found it offline. Would be worth any online ?

5 to Blizz and 20 fcr, that's very possible. Not sure about the actual value as Death Fathom is the cold sorc BiS

Must have

Cold Mastery
