Scouring for SoJs… good idea?
So, I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, and I figured I’d run it by all of you to see if anyone’s tried it or would like to try it. I think it might work…
The Plan:
Step 1 – Gather 8 MF Sorcs together and get everybody /f listed, or alternately, seven people /f list one person and that person /f lists everyone and coordinates the effort.
Step 2 – Each player makes his/her own NM Andariel game, tele’s to Andariel, and kills her.
Step 3 – Each player repeats Step 2 until someone finds a non-SoJ Unique Ring. When this happens, that player messages the rest of the group their game name & password.
Step 4 – The rest of the group finishes their respective runs, then joins that game.
Step 5 – The 8 MF Sorcs start killing EVERYTHING in acts 1, 2, and 3 (possibly certain places in acts 4 and 5 as well).
Step 6 – If a player finds a Stone of Jordan, that SoJ belongs to that player. He or she announces it and we go back to Step 2. Otherwise we clear until people start running out of stuff to kill, then we return to Step 2.
The point: Once a Nagel or Manald has dropped in the game, another of that ring CANNOT drop, thus vastly improving the chances that any Unique Ring that drops will be a Stone of Jordan. With 8 people in the game, creatures, chests, urns, etc. drop a lot of items, and with every player in the game an MFer, that means there’s at least a decent chance another Unique Ring will drop. In late act 3, act 4, and act 5, more Unique Rings become available, so most of the scouring will take place in the earlier acts.
The only potential problem I see is deciding who does which area. Obviously, the maker should get Mephisto (if they want him), but aside from that, I’m not sure. Some kind of plan would probably have to be set up to keep everyone from crossing paths.
Anyway… that’s the plan. Sound good?
Also, if you have an MF Sorc on USEast and you’re interested in trying it out, say so here. If there’s enough interest, we can give it a try.
