3rkid Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hey, I'm a little torn between which ring I should use on slayer tasks, more specifically Abberant Spectres. Should I use a Berserker Ring for +4 Strength bonus, or Ring of Wealth to have a chance at better drops to help cover prayer potion costs. I'm leaning towards Wealth but I have that skepticism if it actually works [noticeably]. Help me out please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphi Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 on spectres use the zerker, as the rare drops are rune full helm, mystic robe and snap seeds, which are fairly common anyways. wealth is only good at monsters with high value rare drops, metal dragons, cave horrors, spirit mages etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat666 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Do you have Berserker? If so use that. If not Warrior with whip is a good, cheaper alternative. Wealth is pointless at spectres. Trust the Gene Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 ^ What he said, I used an Explorer's Ring for Prayer bonus once, and ended up getting more rannars than my usual ROW trips. Which payed for my trip, not including the other rarer drops I got. :) #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patr1ck Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 NO to wealth. So either use warrior or zerker. I own both zerker and warrior and mostly prefer warrior. However if I get a task where the monster has low def i'll use zerker. Warrior is only about 150k, so just buy both and interchange them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rkid Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well I used a Ring of Wealth and I'm very satisfied with the results... 200k+ loot and a level 3 clue. I used 7 doses of prayer pot (I prayed at alter when banking) with RoW. Definitely better than hitting one more or a little bit more accuracy. Thanks for your replies, though. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficus1055 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I usually use a Warrior, Explorer, or Life (depending on task) for most. If something like metal drags, obviously take a ROW. ROW actually can decrease your chances of herb drops and get you something like a mith kite instead Tumblr. Follow me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister_moocky Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Just some general information to keep in mind: ROW gives you rarer drops, not necessarily better (expensive, stackable). quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerbeer0 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Wealth is so situational. It depends on your purposes. For something with few drops but some good ones (Greater Demons for example) use the wealth. For something dropping say herbs use a different ring. OH S***! He/she/it is back!

wioneo Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 PvM = Wealth. PvP = Zerker. Bosses = RoL. life wont help on most bosses That's...wrong. Personally, always wear a wealth, because the supposedly increased chance for me to maybe get something nice is better than the *possibility* to have the chance to hit 1 higher. Warrior rings are what...+4 accuracy? That's next to worthless if you look at it proportionally. Honestly how much difference can 127 as opposed to 123 accuracy make? That's what...2-3% more accuracy? I'm staunchly biased against fremmenik rings though, so maybe my advise isn't that great.

Troacctid Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Wealth won't do much at abby spec, because it really only helps with rune full helms and mystic robes, and the bulk of your profit is going to come from the herbs anyway. Herb drops aren't considered rare, so the wealth doesn't affect them...so whether you pick wealth or zerker ring, neither one is going to have a dramatic effect on your training. I'd go with the explorer ring m'self, but the ring slot is your textbook case of the "not a big deal" slot.

Deathmath Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ring of life if you could die -.- And even in other cases it's situational. I didn't invest: I don't see a reason to so I always use a wealth or life ring. :| Thoroughly retired, may still write now and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most bosses can 2 hit someone yeah? Ring of Life only works when it falls under 10% of max HP, not if you're 42 and then get taking straight to 0. Trust the Gene Genie!

zotto Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 A RoW will seriously increase your profit margin at aberrant specters. A berserker is pointless. I have 10% strength prayer on at aberrant specters are hardly notice any difference. I doubt that the berserker ring will even approach that kind of bonus. Go for the money. RoW. As for slayer in general: always RoW. There are a few tasks which don't have any good drops such as kalphites, but you are supposed to cannon those anyway. I had a berserker ring for a while, but I sold it and never looked back. I also had a warrior ring. Same thing though. A slayer is married to his RoW.
