Plus: If you know, how were things in 1.06? Any difference?

blizzard has changed how things work so many times pre LOD its not even funny anymore. for a long time you could force the game to drop a uniq or more rares by having uniqs in the game.

if you wanted a soj to drop/gamble you had to have the other 2 uniq rings in the game. if the game rolled a uniq it would then see if the other 2 are in the game, if they were a soj would drop. since uniqs werent as good then people would keep the game full of uniqs so more rares would drop.

blizzard also messed with the number of stats a rare could have a long with the lev reqs for those mods. a rare with 6 mods rocks but for a long time you were lucky to get one with 3 good mods. i remember once we had a rare armor drop with +1 life in an 8ppl hell game.

i dont recall the % to gamble stuff per lod but a soj would only cost about 500k to 1.5mill gold. so it wasnt hard to get 1-2 a night. the hard part was to get the gold needed to gamble. the max gold you could sell junk was only 25k and you couldnt hold as much in your stash.

it was 1.07 or 1.08 patch a b or something that when they changed the odds to gamble to 1/100,000 or something

Amulets are really only gambles at clvl 95+ since you need an alvl of 90 to get the +2 skills on them.

that doesnt sound right, if i recall the chance to get +2 on an amulet goes up the higher the char lev is starting at 86. per lod i think it was 84 or 85 but now it should be 86 for D2C and LOD.
