If she was TC85, it would likely have taken a bit longer. Probably got a bit lucky, but Qbugged Hell Andariel has the best chance of dropping it among all bosses, partly due to her MLVL, and thus fewer items in her drop table.

I literally farmed Qbugged Hell Andariel a few weeks ago for a Shako and got one after a few hours. If we suddenly made Catacombs Level 4 TC85 and Hell Andariel MLVL 85 or whatever, her loot table would get all messed up, and saturated with items that she didn’t used to drop, thus making it harder to target Shako.Īnd people actually do this. Not necessarily worth it, but this is more as a theoretical explanation.Ī practical example would be if you’re farming for Shako, Hell (Qbugged) Andariel is the best place to go, despite Shako also being able to drop in TC85 areas and other bosses. NM has a higher chance of dropping an SoJ (although still very rare) than Hell Andariel, because her unique ring drop table becomes “saturated” with more unique rings that are a higher iLVL. I have always been more a fan of farming bosses rather than areas, but TC still applies and influences their loot tables obviously.Īn example of something you can do is try to farm for an SoJ in NM Andariel specifically because of her drop table, which is limited based on her MLVL.

If you are trying to farm for a specific item, you may have a better chance of finding it in a lower TC area. There is a lot of nuance in the fact that different areas have different TC’s, and that not all items can drop everywhere.
