New prayer: Increased drop rate

[Sledge]

A new prayer, fairly high leveled that will increase your chance of getting a rare drop when activated. The prayer equivalent of a RoW.

[Zaaps1]

And?

 

 

 

What level is it? What are the exceptions? What is considered rare? Why can't you just use the Ring of Wealth? Why is it better than the ring of wealth? What is its drain rate? Why didn't I stop using the Socratic Method after the three question?

 

 

 

Sorry, a lot to be worked out.

[Sledge]

Want me to tell you how it would fit in the prayer section too? Get a grip man.

LOL.

 

 

 

But seriously, if all you're doing is spitting out an idea for an idea, you did great. If you want to encourage discussion, and suggestions, a noble effort. If that's all you got, and want Jagex to implement it, sorry, you do need a little more info. I'm guessing p2p only?

[Harrington]

I don't think i'd like this new prayer to be honest. There's already a LOT of doubt over the effectiveness of the RoW. Many claim this item actually reduces your chance of certain rare drops (i.e. d chains from the KQ).

 

 

 

It doesn't help that Jagex have given virtually no information about how reliable the ring is, or specific monsters it does and doesn't work against.

 

 

 

I'd hate to think that I'm wasting valuable prayer for nothing, unless Jagex can quantify exactly what it does.

Those are just rumours spread by impatient kids who throw fits when they don't get any good drops.

 

 

 

 

 

All you need to use is a a tiny bit of imagination to realize that i've already answered all those questions. I said it would be a fairly high level, i'm not the one who decides what it would be exactly. I already said it has the same effect as a RoW and the drain rate is another one of those "not my decision" questions. It doesnt take much to know that double the drop rate boost or being givin the option of using a different ring or bracelet during battle while retaining the luck is better then RoW alone.

 

 

 

The vast majority of that falls under the "so simple it goes without saying" catagory.

Unless if the drain rate was somewhere near 1 prayer point/second, this would COMPLETELY annihilate the usefulness of the RoW. Sorry, no support.

First, sorry if that last post was a bit...unruly, but I was in a bad mood to begin with, my apologies.

 

 

 

*-It should be, it's your suggestion.

 

**-What's the point then? Do use another ring? Lets be honest, which other ring does any good? Ring of Recoil? Only 40 hits (or 50 i forgot), ring of dueling? Might as well bring a glory then. Ring of Forging? Nope. Ring of Life? Chances are if the monster has THAT GOOD drops it'll kill you in the time the Ring of Life takes effect. The Diamond necklace is better IMO, it gives you a chance to tele and doesn't give the monster a chance to kill you (unless its the Jad). Ring of Stone? Don't even go there.... Bracelets? Well, your not mining clay, your not in cw, your not diseased, or you wouldn't bother fighting, your not in the abyss (even if you were you wouldn't need it, think about it), Bracelet of Combat, ok, but still pretty useless, only thing you might even consider swapping, and onyx is really a waste on such a pathetic bracelet, put you have a prayer for that. Before you say it, remember this is a prayer too, and you could always use food.

 

***-see *

 

****-see **

 

 

 

A bit more on the constructive side, maybe the prayer would increase stackable drops? (more coins, arrows, runes, tokkul, noted stuff etc.). Or it could add to the effects of the RoW.

*- Jagex is hardly going to listen to the fine details. They hire people to figure those things out. And how exactly am I supposed to know the drain rates even if I wanted to add it? It's not exactly common knowledge.

 

* and ****- All the comments you made on the combat related ones is based on your own personal reasons. People do use rings of life, people do use onyx bracelets, I only mentioned those because you appear to be a hard to please person. The main reason I thought of this was the reason you convinently left out, double the increased rare drop rate. I have yet to hear how that is a bad thing.

People could use both and get double the boost, RoW is infinite while prayer would need prayer pots and with the level being fairly high not many people would even be able to use it. It would hardly render the RoW useless.

Well, first of all: Bracelets go on the glove slot. There are also many other alternatives to the ring of wealth, or those ones you mentioned there. There is the berserker and warrior rings for meleeing, the beacon, lunar, and seers ring for magic, and the archer ring for ranging.

 

 

 

I think this would be a decent idea, with all the rumors of ROW being inefficient and all. Still, there are some things to work out.

[Bestman4537]

ok this prayer doesn't really make sense because that jus jus explains what a ring of wealth is supposed to do

Yes, in fact, I would...
