So I would need a find item barb and a killer (either pally or sorc) to increase my chances of getting a soj?

Yep
More players = better chances
The barb can be full mf with a few +warcry skills to reach 55% extra drop
3 unique rings happens most games this way
My 4 players setup is a bit overkill, but I had fun making this ^^

having 2 auradins doesnt stack over each holy shock? with 4p are you split farming? maybe optimal team would be 1 auradin+2barb or 2 auradin+3 barb for 5p bonus?

also dumb question but 3 offensive helm and 3 offensive shield actually exist? lol never heard of anything like that before.

And what's your setup again?

2 killers 2 barbs?

Are they all mfing together or....?

I guess yes, as more players in same area reduces greatly no drop chance from monsters.
Less nodrops = more drops = more uniques



3 ppl and 1 killer is not enough dmg imo, and why only 3 if u can have 4. For 5 ppl u need proxy/router which is kinda more effort.
But in theory a full game of 8 would be best. Maybe 4 auradins 4 barbs? lol
If i had the ressources I tried.

The very optimal is 2 killers 2 barb, all sticking together
Yes holy aura from different sources will both do the tick dmg
2 barbs using find item is to keep up with the killing speed
More than that is a waste of "players"
If you have 8 keys instead run 2 different games

Yes +3 offensive aura shield is even easily shopable
3 off circ can be gambled or dropped, just try your luck with a 2os

I was wondering, will the SoJ hunting work this way on normal:
Rush any locations lvl 15+ until you find 2 unique rings
Once you find them, rush A5 39+ locations for SoJ

What do you think?

Yes this works the same way
But lvl 39+ on norm is very restricted so running this full game is worth nothing if you dont drop a 3rd unique ring in lvl39+ areas after

Oh and you cant start with lvl39+ then farm areas under that, cuz the 1st unique found would have 1/31 chance to be a soj, and if its not you wont even be able to drop 2 other unique rings in lower areas since one manald/nangel has already droped
When this happen, rings that were supposed to be unique will drop rare instead

Been running 20 hrs now. 18 games. no soj yet. no usable item yet.

As I understand the main idea here is to get 3 unique rings drop in one game. Therefore no levels in nightmare should be skipped since they can drop manald and nagel. So only once all lower levels are cleared or two rings have been dropped in lower levels one should move on to clear 39+ areas. Correct me if I am wrong.
