The Stone of Jordan (SoJ) was a unique ring found in Diablo II. It was the best of the three unique rings in D2C, and though it became less useful when more and better items were added in D2X, the SoJ was still useful for any caster class.

The larger significance of the Stone of Jordan was as a unit of currency. Since [[gold]] was basically worthless in Diablo II, players soon adopted other items as units of trade. [[Gems]] were traded at various times, but early on in the days of [[D2C]], the SoJ became the default currency. Top quality items were priced in terms of how many SoJs they were worth, and this value led to massive duping of SoJs, which depressed prices and made it impossible for legitimate players to keep pace with the currency, since finding items was much slower than cheating/duping to create them.

This item does not have a [[legendary affix]], but despite that fact the Stone of Jordan is the second most sought ring in the game, behind only the [[Ring of Royal Grandeur]], and wearing one of each is the end game gear goal of many players. The SoJ offers a huge bonus to the extremely valuable [[Damage against Elites]], plus a big boost to one [[Elemental Damage]] type, both very sought after modifiers.
  
The SoJ lost its place as the chief item of currency during later patches of D2X, as high level runes (HRs) took over that role in the economy. They were duped just as badly as the SoJ had ever been, given their value as currency, and more over their utility for creating [[runewords]].

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Diablo 2's SOJ.

The Stone of Jordan was the rarest and most powerful (for caster characters especially) of the unique rings in Diablo 2 classic, and with gold overabundant and of no real long term use, this ring evolved to become the default currency of the game, with all high end trades priced in "SOJs." Which were massively duped at various times, resulting in enough of them to exist as currency, as the ring was quite rare to find in of itself.

SOJs lost their currency function in Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction as first gems, and then runes became the means of currency, but even a decade later, the term "SOJ" has something of a talismanic effect on Diablo players.
