Hey everyone! This is a guide I posted on an old forum I was associated with for a while. During the time, I was a clan member of the site and was under another name. If you have visited the site before (I will not link it here) you may recognize the post. It was posted by Tempest Knights, I am Tempest Knights, it was a Diablo account I ran for a few years. Just wanted to make clear I am not stealing this, this is my guide.
Sorry its so out of date, if people have things to add to bring it up to date that would be awesome. I do not play anymore (or at least at the moment), but thought it would be useful here for some people.
So have you heard of Dclone, you know he's an Uber Diablo who drops the Annihilus. You like the idea of farming Anni's but you have no idea where to start. Well sir/madam, you have come to the right place. Much to the uneducated man's (or woman's) surprise, Dclone is not at all a random event. Dclone will in fact spawn on a particular game server when a certain number of SoJ's (yes the unique ring Stone of Jordan) are sold to a vendor (yes it sounds like a waste but I'm not joking).
Lets start with the server part. When you connect to battle net you have the option of making or joining a game. Each game is assigned to a game server, each game server has a number. This number is the IP number of the game server. Here is an example, this is the game server my pally is currently on:
63.214.83.43.4000
43 is the server number.
Now you probably want to know how I found out that IP address and are dead keen to try yourself. Well, I will get to that in a minute. You must understand that this server has hundreds of games on it at one time. If Diablo clone walks on this server he walks in every HELL game on this server! (Hardcore, softcore, ladder or non-ladder; it does not matter.) Dclone will not spawn on a nightmare, or normal server. When Dclone walks, a game message will appear saying "Diablo walks the earth." Dclone will spawn at the first unique monster you come across after that message is announced. I suggest places like act 2 arcane portal in the palace, a unique spawns there, or act 5 frigid highlands waypoint.
OK so now you want to know which server Dclone is going to spawn on and how on earth you find out which server you are currently on.
Dclone will spawn on a server after somewhere between 80-120 SoJ's are sold. There are various websites that log how many are sold. Unfortunately, I do not wish to link them to you as the one I use is also linked to another website/forum much like this and I do not have permission from a mod/admin yet. However, their are 2 battle.net channels that have a bot that has the exact same info as these websites.
Op Dclonewest - West
Op Dclone - East and West (i have found to be the most accurate)
You can access these channels right now and type ".hot" or ".top" and the bots will tell you if their are any hot servers atm, and how many SoJ's have been sold on the top 3 servers.
Now your really keen to find out what server you are on right? Well it's really not hard to do. Firstly if you are going to hunt Dclone, I suggest you open your Diablo in windowed mode. To do this simply right click on your Diablo 2: LoD link in your start menu > Properties > target, change it to look like this: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w. All you have done is added the -w at the end of it(make sure you leave a space or it wont work).
Now log into battle.net and create a game. Any hell game preferably with a password (don't want people stealing your Anni). Now minimize Diablo and open your start panel (hit the windows key). Then you need to find the run function in your start menu. It's right below "help and support" and "search." It will open a box, type into that box "cmd". A black box will appear on you screen. Then just type into that screen:
"netstat -n"
A list of IPs addresses will appear. You are looking for the one ending in .4000 like the one I showed you before.
63.214.83.43.4000
The only number that will change will be the number in bold. Sadly, the only way to get onto a particular server is simple trial and error. Keep remaking games until the server your on matches the one you want. I would also suggest you wait a minute between making games or you may find yourself with realm down and unable to connect to battle.net (they temporarily ban your IP).
So there is my brief guide to how to hunt Dclone. If you are wondering how you actually kill him, I suggest using an Uber Smiter. I will post a link of a 10 minute youtube video on how to build an Uber Smiter for under 2 Hrs. (I did not make this video however, I made the character and solo Ubers easy). Thank you all for reading and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Grammar and Spelling have been corrected. Feel free to just copy and paste or let me know if you dont want it. Also, decent guide and how the hell did you stumble across this method?

Just what i have done in the past, i appreciate though that many people are now on windows 7. i refuse to believe that vista was anything more than a joke :). I have not played since i was running XP so i cant update atm.
I dont know what renegade runs are i'm sorry. And sorry to take from a wiki guide, just posted cause i thought it might be handy for some people when i didn't see a guide anywhere else. (obviously didn't look for another guide hard enough)
renegade runs are when people organise a diablo walk. they give about 10-30 mins for everyone to get in the same server, then a couple people sell 3-10 nl sc sojs and spawn a walk on the server. sometimes they announce the server for free, most times you have to pay some sojs.
pretty good guide tho

Oh right, didn't know they had a name lol.
and i wont delete it, just didn't want to feel i was subtracting from a part of the site.
Good guide. Also keep in mind if you don't find the server within 20 games you'll be temp banned. You're only allowed to create/join 20 games per hour. You can get around this if you have multiple cd-key's.

Or if you have an ip / mac adress changer thingie. I used to do that.
one strategy ive used is just to make a game when rdy to log, but just alt+tab out and let it idle, you might get booted, but you might come back 12 hours later and check the chat log and see that you have a walk. theres nothing like sitting down to D2 and finding out, hey, im still logged in, and then you start playing and D clone is chillin at the frigid higland, neat little suprise if you dont realise he walked.

When or if I get to Lut Gholein, Im going to find the largest bowl of Narlant weed and smoke til all earthly sense has left my body. -Gheed
Despite having done ubers many times, I never got the opportunity to do Dclone. And it is the one thing that I haven't done in D2 (other than create a 2nd of every class...) that I always wanted too...
Anyways yes this is a pretty standard method and there's nothing wrong with having it on the forum.
And also, generally for renegade runs they have to sell more than 10 nl SOJs. Sometimes for private organised walks they won't tell anyone and they'll choose a server with little to no SOJs sold.
Dclone walks are all done using duped SOJs (that was kinda the idea), but all it did was create a market for SOJs where the Anni charms were more valuable so people duped more SOJs. Generally from what I've seen in and around different D2 Dclone running communities is that people generally buy from some site duped NL SOJs (130 duped SOJs are pretty cheap) after organising a walk and then sell them ingame.
TL;DR: Don't ever sell your legit SOJ's. Ever.
anywhooo :whistling:

"to the worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish."
Pretty standard method from everything I've read. It's basically the same method that's already described in our wiki too:
I dont know what renegade runs are i'm sorry. And sorry to take from a wiki guide, just posted cause i thought it might be handy for some people when i didn't see a guide anywhere else. (obviously didn't look for another guide hard enough)
If you like ill delete it.
Thanks Caniroth for the awesome sig!
pretty good guide tho
"to the worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish."
No need to delete it or anything; I was just making the point that it's a fairly common "strategy." There's no harm in having it both places.
Oh right, didn't know they had a name lol.
and i wont delete it, just didn't want to feel i was subtracting from a part of the site.

You'll receive an audio notification upon entering a DClone server (which you must input to the program, also accepts wildcards)
It's very useful for information...and I've one doubt What is special about Diablo Clone? please reply...
Thanks
Diablo clone is special because he drops the Annihilus charm. Read all about it here:http://diablo.gamepedia.com/Uber_Diablo
I want to konw that HoW does I got him to spawn becuase i need it?
