Why can I not seem to get a Soj

Re: Why can I not seem to get a Soj

SoJs aren't game-breaking. They don't unlock new builds for you. In terms of the most important items, they're not even really on the list.

That said, I do love my SoJ and would like another one. It's a very versatile item. But I've got 79 grailers left to find, and about 20 of them open up builds that would be almost half-assed without them (griffons, windforce, death's web, death fathom, HoZ to name a few).

There are probably 50 items total that I'd choose to find over SoJ if I didn't have any of them...

So find an area that you can comfortably run that drops a high number of the items that you want. Meph, AT, and pindle are fairly easy, comfortable targets. Run those guys like crazy. You'll find all sorts of great stuff, and you might just get an SoJ along the way.

What build would HoZ open?

My freezealot has one and has personalized it as Spirit in a high res all paladin shield is easier to make/find and is par to par with HoZ.

Meaning that my further paladins won't miss the HoZ but use spirit shield.

P.S. Of course if they find (get hands on) another HoZ they might personalize it and use it.

Never quest for a single item in this game. That way lies madness. Play the game as you enjoy it and eventually stuff will drop. I'm five items from the grail and one of them is SOJ... another is the HoZ (much less rare). Just play and play and play and eventually one's bound to fall. Running Andy is probably the quickest way to get one to drop, but if you get bored and quit playing at all, you'll never get one.

Re: Why can I not seem to get a Soj

Just found an SOJ while doing Mephisto/Andariel runs with my Meteorb. She is lvl 89 with 244 mf and I do mf runs on /p3. Oddly enough, one of the little demons (in the pack on the right as you approach Andariel) dropped the ring. I had found 3x manalds before that one.

Like Shagsbeard said, just keep playing and stuff will fall.:thumbup:
