?? How do you gamble for an soj using a manald ring? I don't get that.
In the original D2 before the expansion, if you had the two unique rings Manald+Nagel the next unique ring to spawn would be an soj. So people would load up on gold and gamble away with these two rings in the game. Sometimes you would get lucky and get an SOJ on the first few tries but sometimes it would take a couple million gold.
After the patches/expansion (I forget which), they changed the mechanics of item spawning so you can't do this anymore. Plus with the addition of more unique rings the chances of getting an soj is 1 in 7 unique rings.
