legendary items quickest drop top 10 leaderboard

[Darkstar]

I didn't know what the ROLS until I read about it in the forums. I checked my inventory and I had one with around 250 rocks (without MF). I decided to go for a second. I felt like a man with a gambling problem, but I finally got one with 3726 rocks(without MF) and leveled up to 51 in the process.

Congratulations Slayer! Are you gonna go for another now?

Well my plan is to stay in the gargoyle dungeon until lvl 40, and then move on to the mountain. So if I happen to pick up a second on the next 5 lvls I'll be thrilled, but I doubt I'll be that lucky. Though I'm already up another 278 rocks.

Is there an advantage of leaving the rooms that contain the creatures that drop RoLS or should I stay in and wait for creatures to regenerate? I would like to know (obviously) the best way/chance to get the RoLS. Have about 450 rocks or so. Any help is appreciated.

The best way to get one is with lots of patience. Just keep at it and one will come eventually. Here's a lil bit of info from Samuel that you may find helpful:

5. Valuable hints

5.1 Respawn rules

You will gain many levels when searching for Legendary Items. So sooner or later you need to know the respawn rules to maximize the amount of monsters killed per minute.

1. Every monster on every map will respawn if you rest in a bed.
2. Every monster on a specific map will respawn if you didn't enter that map for 3 minutes.
3. Each 0.5 seconds there is a chance of 1% per respawn area to spawn a monster. This only affects the current map. There are no respawns when the player is in a menu or a fight. If a spawn area has reached its maximum number of monsters, no further monsters respawn in it. So stay on maps with many respawn areas.
4. Monsters could not spawn directly on players, other monsters, obstacles and "event objects". So keep away from small respawn areas.

5.2 Maximizing your chances

As the result of the respawn rules there are 3 possible tactics.

1. Kill the specific monsters, enter other maps for 3 minutes and level there, come back to kill the specific monsters again.
2. Kill the specific monsters, try to go to an inn and come back in less than 3 minutes to kill the specific monsters again.
3. Stay on the map with the most respawn areas of specific monsters. For 3 minutes hunt every spawned monster on the current map down. After 3 minutes kill the specific monsters on the other maps. Go back to the first map and repeat.

5.3 Monster partitions

The monster partitions mentioned in the description of the items give you an idea about the respawn area structure.

Example:
Monster partitions: (3+1+1+1) + (1+1) + (3+1+1+1)

The first map has 4 respawn areas. The first can respawn up to 3 monsters all others can only respawn 1 monster.
The second map has 2 respawn areas. They both can only respawn 1 monster.
The third map has 4 respawn areas. The first can respawn up to 3 monsters all others can only respawn 1 monster.

5.4 Measure items

Measure items could be used to show the progress of getting an Extraordinary or Legendary Item.

Example: (RoLS)
Measure item: Small rock (2500)

You will get approximately 2500 Small rocks (when you didn't skill "Magic Finder") for each RoLS you get. If you got 2500 Small rocks (from the specific monsters dropping the item) you had pretty good chances to get a ring.
But it doesn't mean anything - it's a matter of pure case.
