A long time ago i played a gold farm baba. I do that very effective and got a lot of good stuff. I also gambled a lot of unique rings and unique amus.
Today im playing a gold farm baba too…and spend a lot of money in gambling. But till yet i got only 2 set amus. Im a riskcontroller and studies maths and statistics…i know about the theory (for example test-statistics). So there is a not small chance that i had no luck or polish the past.
Whats your experience?
Think the chance is 1/2000, so you could easily expect to spend 100million gold on Rings (at 50000, before discount) before a unique. In my experience though it has been more common than that, but as with RNG it’s RNG.
D2 Wiki:
Gambling can provide set and unique items too, though the odds of rolling them are very long, and the odds of gambling any particular exceptional or elite set/unique item are astronomical.
Remember with Gambling the possible items you can get/rolls you can get is based on YOUR LEVEL. I.e. Your character level impacts the possible iLVL of the items you get from gambling. The iLVL is +/- your character level some amount.
That being said… I cant remember the relationship between iLVL and qLVL (of the amulets/rings)… or if there is one AT ALL.
For example… could a level 1 character gamble a qLVL 84 ring like Wisp? I would assume no… but I really cant remember.
Perhaps someone can provide some feedback regarding this?
You can get one SoJ per 100 000 000 gold in average on classic. Also, there are no crappy suffixes like “23 charges of level 1 charged bolt”, so rare rings are also better on classic.
Is GF barbarian on classic good?
