Quote:Does that mean you can't find 2 unique rings in the same game or just cant get the same TYPE of unique ring.It means you can't get more than one of the exact same unique ring in a single game, e.g. you can't get more than one Nagelring.
Quote:if andariel drops a nagelring, will all further unique rings be manald heals and sojs (for the case of levels under the qlvl of dwarf and raven), or will they only be rare rings.If Andy drops a Nagelring, it means that another Nagelring cannot drop in the same game. Other unique rings are still fair game; e.g. another monster could drop a Manald Heal.
Quote:And if in that same game another nagel ring were supposed to drop, would it revert to a rare item or would manald heal and soj have a better chance of dropping?If another Nagelring tried to spawn, the drop code would change it to a rare instead. The chances that a Manald or SoJ will drop are not changed by the fact that a Nagelring already dropped.
However, if another unique ring drops, then we know that it cannot be a Nagelring, so in that sense there is a greater chance that this unique ring will be a SoJ. Note, however, that the fact that Nagel already dropped did not affect the chances of the second unique ring dropping in the first place. You just got lucky.
Quote:If the latter is true, then 3 unique rings found from monsters under the qlvls of dwarf and raven would all be a nagel, manald, and soj.It used to work that way in the good ol' days of Classic up to v1.06. That's why people ran around with Nagels and Manalds in their backpacks or stashes, because it guaranteed that the next unique ring spawned would be a SoJ. This changed with the Expansion and v1.07, however, and is no longer the case.
