Farmed Mephisto hell around 1000 times, didnt get a shako. Watched your video to see if i was doing the right thing and thought, cool i'm doing the right thing. Started up the game, did 7 Mephisto runs and it droppped :) :) :)
You're totally right Phil, that's how the probability goes. When there is a larger universe of options possible to get, the chances to get any single one of them goes down. For example, if you want to get heads out of an universe of options of {heads, tails} that's 1 out of 2 = 50% = 0.5, but if you want to get a 6 out of a six headed dice, that'd be 1 out of a universe of options of {1,2,3,4,5,6}, which translates to 1 out of 6 = 16% = 0.16.
Great vids. Just found your channel after coming back to D2R last week. My lightning sorc is stuck in A3 Hell with no more respecs, but I am pressing onward. Looking forward to the grind
What i do for my 1st shako is either farm Meph and Andy in hell or when im bored of that i farm Den of Evil, Bishibosh, Rakanishu, Tristram, Dark Wood, Black Marsh and Tower. Since they added Underground passage lvl2 as a lvl 85 area I'd probably just farm that on my way from stony field to dark wood
I did some 200 Andariel runs in hopes of getting it and nothing, got pretty tired and gave up. I went to tristram to get a leg to do some cows and hit the bed, I on accident hit a few mobs and a shako dropped. I was happy and sad at the same time cos it dropped when I gave up on it. So I think you need to truly give up on an item in order for it to drop :D
get a merc with kelpie snare or that other -50% slow polearm and mephisto/andariel are super slow (also cast time is slowed) and no danger anymore, especially early on very good
I read that as well. You keep it as a normal item so your merc can’t kill dolls while you’re teleporting to Mephisto. It’s just for like you said the slow rate.
I found my first shako when farming bases with nearly 0 mf (opening the super chest in the pit), and now I have 300+ mf for ages and yet to see another unique shako LOL
In my 17 years playing the game (on and off) I’ve found 2 shako’s. One of which was eth. But I’ve found a total of 5 mang-songs between all my accounts 😂
When D2R launched, I found one shako from Meph and one from Cows. On ladder, I found a whole bunch of shakos from everywhere. ALL BLUE AND YELLOW SHAKOS!!!🤬
After years spent playing online, i started to play offline last week. First charater, first time in hell, first elite in spider cavern dropped the giddbin and the shako. I wasn't so exicted since i made my first enigma.
I got one from Andy and one from arcane sanctuary, can't remember where I got the other one, I'm having great lucky by my standards, this ladder I've found ohm jah and 4x ist, 2nd jah in over 10k hours between d2 and d2r.
Thank you for your videos, especially the one about why you aren't finding tons of special items. They help casual gamers who aren't really a part of the "culture" of gaming . For some reason, I seem to have the magic touch with Shakos (I've found I think five so far) but I'm still wanting a H-Crest for my Hammerdin.
enjoy all your videos brother, question, i see a Maltese cross on your shirt alot... paid or volunteer ? either way thank you for your service brother... i had to quit being a volunteer because of a back injury... i sure do miss running into a burning building.
Be carefull with these dropcalculators and go with ingame experience instead. However, there is no doubt that Andariel is the safest, fastest and easiest way to obtain a shako. Once i did 2000 andy runs for Soj farming with about 350 MF and got not less than 17 shakos during those runs...took me about two months to complete. Both Baal and Meph are also, statistically, good places, but they are far away from wps and the road to them is very dangerous for HC players. If you need Gheeds, Viperskin and Shako ...you go Andy :)
@ZyklonBeast i know its old but the sweet spot for mf is 350. do not buy these youtubers that say "i ran xxxxxx for 12 hours with 24802482480 MF and this is what i found". What you want is a balance of good dps with decent mf. 350 is the sweet spot for that, you do high damage so you clear it fast and your mf is at a decent level. above 350, there is actually diminishing returns. For instance, you will actually see a higher frequency of tiers other than unique in drops meaning you have less chance of dropping the unique despite having more mf. If you want more uniques, 350 mf is the way to go because you get good balance of damage + speed and less frequent bad magic loot. Another bonus is more socket bases will drop the lower ur mf is (obviously if you are socket base hunting, you would use 0 mf. but sometimes its nice when ur mf running and a good socket base drops "i'll save that for later" kind of deal)
That’s cool that your grandson got you into the game. I’ve been playing since it came out and maybe I’ll play with my kids when they get older. Lvl 85 area is an area with the highest monster level meaning that any item in the game can drop. These are the best areas to farm if you are looking for the rarest gear like Griffons.
I just watched your video and said to myself - Oh well... I still don't have shako, would be good to farm Mephisto later, got only 145% of MF and went to halls of pain just to get waypoint and try get key from Nihlathak and just dropped SHAKO from normal monster as 78 LVL Hammerdin. I was farming items as sorceress for ages and almost never dropped anything worth. But as Palladin always I had luck, just 2 days ago dropped CHAM rune from normal monster in the jungle, now SHAKO, just wow. Hammerdin is so lucky.
Another great vid man thank you Do you have any gambling guide vids? Been trying to gamble a maras with my lvl 88 sorc So far like 15 million in gold and nothing (single player)
I've been playing sp for about a year. My paladin is level 95 . I've found two jah, a ber, two vex and an ohm, death fathom, 15% Nightwing, 15%blizz ormus, mara, full tals, etc, but haven't found a shako. I'm still wearing a 3ptopaz helm because all the tarnhelms I've found are 30% or less. So tell me more about how to find a shako...
Mephitso is the best for Shaco and right outside the door on act 4 the one where u could dupe money which I assume is patched only item I haven't found is the blue kraken shield in this game from baal after 2k runs guarantee if you run out of act 4 kill all the Amazon people and the mini boss you'll get it
If you just starting the game much easier to find a 3 socket armor than 4. So having 3 perfect topaz armor is a great start on normal and nightmare imo
@@skroozscrungus6738 Lem are gold find... Ist for magic find would be a massive waste in anything besides a weapon that early on.... Even then, save the ist to trade.
I’ve been playing since it dropped on console and I never found a shako. when ladder started 2 weeks in I found 3 in a day. 2 from Andy one from meph. I couldn’t believe it.
one of you streamers needs to do a video about what happens come the end of ladder.. ie what happens to the toons you made? can they be transferred or are they deleted? what about the gear? bliz says that you can use the new ladder runewords.. does that mean we can keep the ones we make? or we can just make them outside ladder after its over? and generally what happens, timings and whatnot.. THANKS for all the content
The chars will become non-ladder chars in your account just like the others. The items will be in a shared stash, but will only be removable (ie you cannot put them back in the ladder stash but can go into your non ladder shared stash). You will have the entirety of the next ladder season to remove those items before they are deleted. Runewords will remain as the new ladder only runewords become makeable in non ladder after the season. Hope that helps.
Pallys put one point into charge and vigor and if your poor find some 20-40%+ run/ walks and a stealth helped me get around until was able to start running trav and chaos. Have a rejuve on hand incase you charge into trouble...
Yeah 500 runs on both Mephisto and Andariel and I finally got my Shako off of an Armor Rack in Lower Kurast. The game knows what you're looking for and it almost never gives it to you.
I spent an hour and half farming coldcrow for a gul early game to get 100mf and just rocked that until I could build more without losing anymore kill speed
found shako on Q andariel Hell, pure luck too first time killing andy in hell. That was, of course, on singleplayer. Shako drops on nm baal as well quicker than most bosses.
I need shako, arachnids mesh, and viper magi … been 75% ass grinding for about 6 mos to a year The list of stuff I have found (ssf on p1) instead of these three things makes no sense
Ihad a Orb/Hydra sorc since I started her in SP, switched to Meteor for my mf runs as i found hydra wasnt killing enemies fast enough. I try to set my difficulty to 3 or 5, so hydras werent working as well.
I usually find them in hell countess runs. Kill along the way. Because most new characters are weak and stuck in act one hell trying to farm up gear. 👍🏼
Can anyone tell me if you can make a Tri-elemental Sorceress? If i had to make one, i would pick Frozen Orb, Fire Wall and Nova with max Lightning mastery and a few points into fire and cold mastery. And your standard, Static Field, Warmth, Teleport, energy shield and Frozen Armor.
General you do want to farm countess right off the start to get basic runes for low runewords and some levels. After that I would only ever stop to level before doing ancients quest in act 5. The first place worth farming at all is act 1 nightmare andarial. In my opinion.
Google kept slaying and hit Sweet Phil's add revenue with enhanced crushing blow. In other news, gambling for the gull dagger on a lvl 11 character costs the average person less than 2 million gold. Its +100 mf on its own and easy enough to swap weapons for the killing blow.

Best guide to find the shako is to not let the game know you're looking for the shako.
Всё верно, надо заходить в игру за марой 😀
100% truth. Whatever your looking for will drop when your not looking for it.
I started to use ISLC ram cleaner.. Maybe helps maybe luck.. but Titans revenge and best amazon gloves instantly :D
Troof!
Agreed!
I watched this video, then ran catacombs a couple times with 225mf and got a shako and a skin of vipermagi. Thanks dude!
Do not forget all the terrorized zones from nightmare or hell after you reach level 67 can drop a shako as it is an ilvl69 item.
One does not simply find the shako, the shako finds you
Or just have a friend who has one but doesn't use it.
Farmed Mephisto hell around 1000 times, didnt get a shako. Watched your video to see if i was doing the right thing and thought, cool i'm doing the right thing. Started up the game, did 7 Mephisto runs and it droppped :) :) :)

They're leaving more room for other uniques/sets for you 😂
If you have one, an Occulus with an Ist rune is a great option.
That's 80% magic find without losing much stats.

best advice to finding anything---he said it there--- stop looking for specific items, loot the 85 areas-- you eventually find everything you need
DUDE love your guide found my first single player shako today off hell meph also got an occy on the same drop found arach next run

First charater, first time in hell, first elite in spider cavern dropped the giddbin and the shako.
