I recently got help for my demon hunter with some excellent suggestions, (thanks) one of them being that I need not only a new pair of everything, but also a new Ring of Royal Grandeur, preferably with a socket already and a chance to build CHD and CHC as high as it can go
I did some research and found that if you don't open chests apart from those u have to, or loot anything else it gives u a better chance at the ring dropping from the horadric caches
This worked brilliantly, and on the first try, but the ring was crap, and I must go back and continue the search
Is this trick/method still effective if you farm bounties as a group, or does it only work if you are solo?
it doesn't work. period. on T6 you have a 100% chance of a legendary. There are 5 possible items for it to drop, so you have a 20% chance to get the ring on every cache (assuming equal probability for each to drop).
RoRG USED to be a much more rare drop. Also, bounties took longer to complete. That method was gaming an older system. You used to be guaranteed a legendary drop every hour. They were trying to avoid the chance of any other legendaries dropping to ensure a legendary dropped from the cache IF you had been active for at least an hour before opening it. It is actually counter-productive now.
As stated, T6 guarantees a legendary from the cache drop. If you are not farming T6, just farm the highest torment you can quickly. You should not have to stop for more than 3-15 seconds even for elites. Skip any trash that is not a part of the objective. If that means, T1, so be it, as long as it is torment. Good luck.
You need to open the cache after clicking Kadala, then then enchantress then going into the Slaughtered Calf Inn and pressing esc as you open the bag at the same frame for a guaranteed ring drop.
Pce
OMG ! It worked ! Sir you are a genious !

The season is underway. Don't know if I'll make it through.

The Junger Method (what you've just described) has never worked. It was devised as a method of using the bad loot-luck timer to your advantage to get legendaries from caches, but it was developed with a false understanding of the system.
In order for the bad luck system to kick in, you have to go 4-6 in-combat hours without receiving a legendary drop. This is nearly impossible in today's game, even playing on normal mode. At some point, a monster or a breakable is going to drop a legendary before the timer kicks in. Even if it didn't, cache loot (not stats, just loot) is determined when you receive the cache, which, assuming you went 4-6 hours of in-combat game time without getting a legendary, would reset on your first bad-luck cache.
TL;DR: This method has always been bullshit. You got lucky on your drop, that's it.
