Fortunately I sold all of my Rings of Poverty long ago before the price drops. After killing over 3200 metal dragons with ROP and getting no dragon legs or skirt, I finally got wise and just used a ring of life. About 200 dragons later, bingo! Draggie skirt. My first trip even to the abies yielded 3 whips in that trip, all without a ROP. The next couple of days I remembered to use it again and went two entire days without a single whip. Never wore the darn thing again. I think the ROP is like a real life rabbit's foot. It's all in the mind of the beholder. :uhh:
