The guide is going to take forever to write. I haven't even gotten the raw data from the recent testing posted yet. GO ME! :lol:
To answer the original poster's question, it can take many hours for the soj counter to hit the 'magic number' and cause Super Diablo to walk the earth. Anywhere from 70-150 sojs must be sold by players to trigger the event. Depending on the availability of sellers, this can take less than an hour -- or it can take days (literally).
If you only have a limited amount of time to hunt Super Diablo, use the IRC channels to figure out which IPs are hot, and which have sellers advancing the count. This can reduce the time to find a clone significantly.
