Where is the best place to find SOJ's?

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

Just curious, as it seems some people have an abundance of the rings. Would
like to get some for some of my characters and would like to try my hand at
facing the Uber Diablo.

Thanks

I don't think there is a specific place 'best' for finding SOJ's. Hell
Baal blessed my necro with one a while back.

Didn't know that, thanks for the tip.

I believe NM Andy and Meph have the best chances of dropping an SOJ

Although its true that Hell-Andy has the best chance to drop a ring... and
can drop SoJ...
Your forgetting that there is only 1 Anderial per game.. and around 500
NM-Cows.

Multiplying the NM-Cows odds to drop a ring by even just 342 NM-Cows gives
an average of ring-find of just over 100%... if you dont get a ring in a cow
game then your probably VERY unlucky and should be almost guarenteed one
next time ;¬)

I'd like to add that a max-players NM-Cow game would be best though... as
more cows will drop items so more chances that a ring will drop ;¬)

If you want to find a SOJ, then try MFing in D2 (not LOD). I farmed NM
Meph in classic D2 and found 2 soj's that way.
