i used board search but didnt find any topic to this.

So is this thing of any use?
I didnt heard so, but if not a lvl requirement wouldn?t make any sense.
So you can tell me what it does?

There are alot of myths about the standarts.. But actualy its just a waste of 1 space in your inv. As much as I know Laughing

The Standard of Heroes (SoH) is apparently nothing but a (useless) reward for defeating the Three, in their ?ber forms.

Lots of tests, one more silly than the next, have been performed, leaving just as many rumours in their wake. Most well-known to the public is the (less silly) claim that the SoH prevents you from death xp penalty, either in part or completely, in nm and hell difficulties. As far as I can tell from testing, it simply isn't true.

As for the lvl req (90) on the SoH, it is indeed odd, but presumably it was originally an estimate of the lvl you would need to successfully defeat the ?bers - setting a standard of lvl 90, so to speak.

If anyone can verify the SoH does have some property besides wasting a square of inventory space, then let us know. At this stage, I seriously doubt so ...

I heard that you have a chance to get better items by wearing it.

It in fact is a very special item, you can drop it on the floor and it won't break. Other then that it's useless.

Well considering all those Shamans carry it all the time I bet it has to have some special purpose. Have you ever tried reviving Fallens with it?

ive read a test that it wont give you more mf!

You have to drop it on the body of the wanderer after you killed him and never before you chased a chicken out of town in act 1.

Hahahahaha

I know what to do with those SoH's!!! Thats why i buy and collect as many as i can get!!! When the new patch releases im rich and godly!!!

Hahahahaha Twisted Evil

But for real... There are some peops who collect them... Since blizz likes to surprise their fans from time to time (nearly no one ever believed that there will be a ladder reset again before the last one....) ... Maybe their days will come Wink

Theres one important thing i learned during my d2 carreer.... Collect every special / perfect item you find! Because even if its crap atm, a time will come where someone really needs it!

Imagine theres another patch tomorrow and the SoH gets usefull... To find another unique charm or activate a special quest or smth likt that....
Just some hours after patch release you can sell full SoH accs for shitloads of other forums tradeables or hrs Razz

Im still 2 lazy to collect them... -.- (and when they ever get usefull there will be someone who dupes them Rolling Eyes

)

b-clone · Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2007 9:29 pm Post subject:

I have 3 accounts full of them and e-mailed blizz what to do with it.
They told me that next time when i visit their crap blizzard shop i get
a goody bag.

Me and my m8 made key runs to get keys... I kept about 8 SOHs on my inventory and my m8 havent SOHs on his inventory... We made about 50 runs each and I found more than he and faster... We have do this couple of times and I got always way more than he... Maybe this could be SOHs thing?

Fumupu · Apprentice Hunter Joined: 27 Sep 2007 Posts: 14

hmm mutu sounds interestings.

I cant believe really that this is the use, one should try this often and in many many runs.

If you see a real difference that should be the use of the SoH

I'm going to test this right now.

I have 3 Rows of SoH's (12), and am going to do 10 runs WITH them, and then 10 runs WITHOUT them! And prove this once and for all =D

I am only going to do : Summoner + Nihlithak

With 12 SoH's
Run 1
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 2
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 3
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 4
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 5
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 6
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing Except a Magic Royal Shield (35000 Gold) Very Happy

Run 7
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 8
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 9
Summoner - Key of Hate!
Nihlithak - Fire Immune Confused

Run 10
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Fire Immune AGAIN Confused

10 Runs With SoH's:
1 Key of Hate
0 Keys of Destruction

Without 12 SoH's
Run 1
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 2
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Fire Immune Confused

Run 3
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 4
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 5
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 6
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 7
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 8
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Fire Immune Confused

Run 9
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

Run 10
Summoner - Nothing
Nihlithak - Nothing

10 Runs Without SoH's:
0 Key of Hate
0 Keys of Destruction

Well I think its unanimous, I really don't think SoH's have ANY affect on Key Finding.

With the exception of taking up more space Wink

Danny · Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2007 7:32 am Post subject:

Well 10 runs is hardly enough to give you decent statistical data. You would have to make like 1000 runs with and without. And I think it would be a wasted time anyway (unless you really need those keys). SoHs were tested for nearly everything and I bet that "increasing key drop chance" was one of them.

Xemnas · Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2007 3:13 pm Post subject:

Well.. was tested now:P It's more of..a ''pride'' to have one.. (tho most players don't give a s*it about them) So nn testing anymore.. doesn't do a damn thing..^^ just waste of inv space and time..

Besides, there's no point in stocking more than at most one SoH on a char. It makes no sense to suppose more SoHs will have a different impact from a single one.

But Danny is absolutely right. The droprate for keys is simply too low for 10-20 runs to be considered sufficient statistical evidence.

There is no use of SoH, mike plz close topic - lol

Simonen · Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2008 8:23 am Post subject:

I think you can use them later. As Epzsi said in the begining, that the wirts leg coudnt be used before the patch.
