I'm not an MF'er. Never have been. Oh, I've done some NM Andariel
runs just to try and get a SoJ (never happened), but other than that,
I prefer actually playing the game. The repetition of MF'ing always
struck me as rather boring.

But I had some spare time recently, and needed a break from the
MAssassin I've been playing. So I dusted off my lvl 91 charged
boltress/blizzard sorceress and decided to do Hell Baal runs.

Before I knew it, I'd done dozens. Here's a partial list of some
items I got in the throne room or from Baal(these are items that I'd
NEVER found before, ever, since starting to play the game):
- Skullder's Ire
- A fire and cold Rainbow Facet
- Arm of Leoric
- Naj's Puzzler (2)
- Aldur's Deception (2)
- Gloom's Trap
- Ethereal Edge
- Ormus' Robes
- Headhunter's Glory
- Stonereaver
- Ondal's Almighty
- Gore Riders (finally! I've been looking for them forever)
- Dracul's Grasp (ditto)

I think I may have to stick with this MF thing for awhile...

Maybe try Countess if you have lightning too?

Normal MFing is Anderial, Meph, Pindle & Baal.
Travincal, The Pit & Diablo can also be useful :)

When I first started my runs, I hit Andy and Meph. But they never
dropped squat. So I limited it to Baal.

About an hour after posting the above, I decided to do some more MF
runs. But this time I hit Andy & Meph. Meph must have read the
above, because for the first time ever he decided to be generous to
me. Within five runs, he dropped my first ever Stormshield and
Verdungo's, plus a pair of 48% War Travellers, which are much nicer
than the 34% I previously had.

Your chances of a SoJ dropping from NM Andy: 1:4526
If someone whos not killed her makes game: 1:1992
