lol @ blue
as someone else has already said....
nm andy does have the best chances but keep in mind "best" chances dont mean much. ill tell you why. only reason nm andy has the best chance to drop soj is because the iLvl (Item level) that she can drop.
There are two requirements for monster X to drop item A. It must be able to drop the base item, which means its top Treasure Class must be as high as the base item's TC, and it must have mlvl at least as high as the unique item's level. Now in our circumstance, TC does not matter because it is the same between all rings. there are no normal, exceptional and elite versions of a ring.
For example: If you found a unique ring off of Normal Andy (mlvl 12), the chances of it being soj are absolutely none. LITERALLY. The only unique ring she can drop is Nagelring that has ilvl12. She can not drop any others because the next highest ring is Manald, which is ilvl20.
this is a quick list of all unique rings and their ilvls
Nagelring: ilvl 12
Manald Heal Ring: ilvl 20
Stone of Jordon: ilvl 39
Dwarf Star: ilvl 53
Raven Frost: ilvl 53
Bul-Kathos' Wedding Band: ilvl 66
Carrion Wind: ilvl 68
Nature's Peace: ilvl 77
Wisp Projector: ilvl 84
This being said, NM Andy is mlvl 49. This means she can only drop Nagelring, Manald, and SoJ. This is why she has the best "Chances" of dropping SoJ, because when you actually find a unique ring, the probability of it being SoJ is 1 in 3. compared to hell andy, she can drop 7 unique rings, obviously a 33% probablity of being a soj is better then a 14% probability.
Now as for any other Unique Characters, ill tell you who can drop it.
As for normal, the ONLY monsters that can drop soj are Diablo, Sharptooth Slayer, Threshsocket, Frozenstein, Nihlathak, Pindleskin, Snapchip Shatter, Colenzo the Annihilator, Achmel the Cursed, Bartuc the Bloody, Ventar the Unholy, Lister the Tormentor, and Baal. ANY other unique monster in Nightmare and Hell can drop it.
I wasnt the first to answer your question, however i wanted you to know why exactly nm Andy does in fact have the best chances of dropping an SoJ. Hope i helped.
