  • The dropping order for unique rings/amulets is now removed in D2X and D2 1.07 or higher.
  • Rarity is expressed as items per 1000 items of that type. E.g., if a ring was listed as 18/1000, it would mean that out of 1000 unique rings found, 18 of them would be that particular ring. CD2 Rarity applies to Classic Diablo II only, and not D2X.


Unique Amulet Rarity

These odds apply to v1.10+ only.

The "Rarity" odds assume that the monster dropping the amulet is capable of dropping every unique ring in the game. Hence, if a monster able to drop Metalgrid drops a unique amulet, there is a 2/75 chance it will be the Metalgrid

If the monster's Mlvl isn't high enough to drop some of the amulets, the rarity odds change accordingly. For example, an Mlvl 40 monster could only drop the first three amulets, so it would have a 20/30 chance to drop the Nokozon Relic, 5/30 to drop the Eye of Etlich, and a 5/30 chance to drop the Mahim-Oak Curio.

v1.10 and Later Only

Unique Amulets that can only be found in v1.10 and later patches.

  • Gambling uniques was enabled (again) in v1.09. The odds are very poor, though.
  • No Unique amulets have unique graphics. They all randomly pick one of the existing jewelry graphics each time they are generated. There are many more amulet graphics in the item art on the game CD; why none of these have ever been enabled is unknown.

D2C Amulet Generation Order

In Diablo II 1.06 and prior, there was a set order for the three rings and three amulets to be generated in, either from gamble or monster drop.

Nokozan Relic -> Eye of Etlich -> Mahim-Oak Curio

The game would always drop the Nokozan Relic unless it was already in the game. If it was, then the game would always drop an Eye of Etlich. Only if both those were in the game would a Mahim-Oak Curio appear. If all three were in the game and the game tried to create a unique amulet, either from a monster drop or from gambling, it would generate a rare instead. Since the Eye is the most popular/useful unique amulet, most characters would carry a Nokozan in their stash, or carry all three to increase their odds of a Rare amulet.

This order was abolished in D2X and D2 1.08, when drops became randomized, but weighted by the rarity odds listed above.
