EDIT: "Che-at" is a filtered word? Can someone change the title then?
So apparently, in the same way as rares, troll commons won't be solved twice until all of them have been solved. When the random number generator decides which artifact your next solve will be, it will reroll if it lands on a common artifact you already have (UNLESS you have already solved them all) and thus giving you a better chance to land on Zin'Rokh.
This means that you should level to 450 (min level to get the sword) without solving any troll artifacts, then start solving trolls until you have all the commons. If you still don't have the sword by then, level arch on another char and do the same. For most people this is a pain, but for botters...not so much.
According to the maths from the source(posted below), the chances of getting Zin'Rokh when you only have 1 common left to solve is 12.5%, and the chance of getting it during your entire time completing troll artifacts until you've done them all is 42.75%. So basically, for every character you get to 450 arch without using trolls then start using this method, you have almost a 50% chance to get the sword meaning you will probably get it after making as low as 1-2 alts.
Things may have changed, and please do not take as final, but I hadn't heard this before so I thought it may help those who haven't either.
