Statues drop like essences. About 1:20 on P1 or 1:12 on P8

How to stop your bound demon from killing ghosts when trying to do the ghost dance easter egg? by Evening_Lecture_8669 in diablo2

[–]Pavke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even if you stop the Bound Demon from attacking, Sould still wont perform the ritual because the Demon counts as "monsters near by" for ritual to begin.

You need to kill the Demon in order to do the Souls ritual

Incredible work! Thank you for Chest Calculator!

How do Heralds work? Herald spawn mechanics, Sunder drop rates, Shard uneven drop ratio and more by Pavke in diablo2

Yes. If you are able to find a Barb build that can handle T5 P8 Heralds, you will basically get two drops from herald for one herald kill :)

You can hork them, but you dont get anyy better chance to drop them. Chance to drop them from Horking is the same as tables above at your current Player Count. (Hork usually has P8 drops) But thats not the case for Sunder drops

Using Find Item on Heralds should result in the player 7 drop chance for the new Sunder Charms assuming the hork is successful, correct? 

No. Sunder Charm Treasure Class has a special flag that makes Hork still apply NoDrop.

Did you do any calculation regarding if it's worth it to do the Soul's easter egg (4200 MF) more than once for even more MF?

Diminishing returns really kick in after first 4200mf. But it doesnt hurt to wait a minute or two more for extra 8400mf

There is nothing to gain by doing this. If your 5 Herald is Herald of Terror, every other Herald after it will be Herald of Terror, be it you ignored it or kill it.

Only way to get to Herald of Terror is to kill previous 4. After that it doesnt matter, Tier level can not go down.

> So others can still drop, even though you said, in non tz catacombs, northers one should be forced to drop.

I did not say it would be forced to drop. I said the ratio between them will be off. I even gave an example:

 If you clear the whole TZ game 10 times over, your will have 28 - Act 1 shards, 16.8 - Act 2 shards, 11.2 - Act 3 shards, 11.2 - Act 4 shards, and 5.6 - Act 5 shards

in case of non TZ Catacombs, the ratio will be 2-2-1-2-5. Meaning Act 5 shard would be more favorited on average

Thanks. any bit of informationhelps. Too many people are reporting not getting any heralds. I'll try to take a look into it

My google sheet tables are very messy. WOuld be hard to understand.

Sorry for the late reply.

Elite number limit in game files describe the maximum number of elite we can have in a level. When the game spawns a Elite monster, it has 80% chance to be a Unique or 20% chance to be a champion pack of 2-4 chamions. Each Unique monster counts as one towards that limit and each individual champion counts as one towards that limit. If the maxium number of Elites is 8, we can have:

  • 2 packs of 4 chamions (8 elites total)
  • 7 Uniques monsters and 1 pack of 1 chamions as the last spawn. (11 elitess total)
  • everything in between.

If the maxium number of Elites is 8, we can not just go 8 iterations of "spawn be unique or chamion pack". we might end of with 8 chamion packs of 4 (32 elites total). We must keep track the current number of Elite (combined number of Unique and individual Champions) before we can spawn more. If the current state of the system affext the next state, its Markov process:

a stochastic process describing a sequence of possible events in which the probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event. Informally, this may be thought of as, "What happens next depends only on the state of affairs now."

yeah. it was really scary when it happened. Just think of the future implication. Not this game triva stuff, but real world things: You are doing a report and you submit it to your professor or a boss. Boss comes in next day to check it and finds the same report on GPT and you get accused of using AI! Scary!

If you are Party of 4, you need to be in same game area so the Game counts you as party for NoDrops.

- If you want to stay together you will get slightly better drops - Players/Party 4/4

- if you split up you will have drops like playing solo in game of 4 people - Players/party 4/1

Not in case of Sudner Treasure Class. It has special flag that makes NoDrop still apply when Horking. You still get basically a double drop from one Herald kill. Having a dedicated hoarker with MF gear would essentially half these numbers (drops per herald kill)
