 * If the monster's Mlvl isn't high enough to drop some of the rings, the rarity odds change accordingly. For example, an Mlvl 40 monster could only drop the first three rings, so it would have a 15/31 chance to drop Naglering, 15/31 to drop Manald Heal, and 1/31 to drop the Stone of Jordan, vs. the 1/59 chance that a unique ring from an Mlvl 84+ monster will be an SoJ. This is why it's best to hunt for some items (such as the Stone of Jordan) on lower levels.

 ==Unique Rings==
+Rings found in D2C and D2X.
-Rarity is expressed as items per 1000 items of that type, e.g. The Stone of Jordan is listed at 18.9/1000. This means that out of 1000 unique rings dropped that were high enough level to be The Stone of Jordan, 18.9 would be, on average. Expansion odds are listed.

 * * The Contricting Ring is not and never has been droppable.  We have it listed on our Unique Rings page, and the ring's full stats are listed in the game files, but it has a 0, instead of a 1, in the "completed" column in uniqueitems.txt, the actual game file that sets the properties on Unique items, which makes it undroppable.

-The game always drops the rings in the following order:
+==Ring Generation Order in D2C==
+In D2C, prior to v1.07, the game always dropped the three unique rings in a preset order:
 * Nagelring > Manald Heal > Stone of Jordan
-If the game determines to drop a Unique Ring, it checks to see if a Nagelring is in the game or has already been generated in that game. If not, one will always drop. If there is a Nagelring, it does the same check for a Manald Heal, and will drop one unless there is one in the game or already generated in that game. If so, it performs the same check on the Stone of Jordan. If all three are in the game, a Rare Ring will be generated.
+This meant that if the game generated a Unique ring, from a monster drop or gambling, it would always be a Naglering, if there was not already a Naglering in that game (previously dropped or possessed by one of the character). If there was a Naglering, then a Manald Heal would drop. If both, then a Stone of Jordan would drop. If all three, then the ring would sprawn rare instead of unique.
-Therefore, if a character was carrying a Nagelring and Manald Heal and a unique ring generated from a monster or gambling, it would always be a Stone of Jordan.
+This was easily exploited, and characters soon learned to carry a Manald Heal and Naglering in their stash, so any new unique rings would drop as the very valuable Stone of Jordan.
