Recently I have been killing iron dragons fairly regularly, I killed about 300-400 using a ring of wealth and was getting their fairly normal drops. I then went and did one trip today(still in progress) and I killed about 40 and get a dragon skirt drop. What I'm wondering is if the ring of wealth makes a huge improvement on the drop chance of geting the rarer drops or if I have just been very unlucky as such?

 

 

 

Any info on this would be apretiated thanks.

The wealth increase your chances to get a rare drop, stick with it when killing iron dragons :

Ok I just find it interesting that the time I chose not to use one I have had a dragon skirt 2 teeth half's and a loop half. Guess ill get my ring of wealth next trip

as he says, stick with it, but dont trust to much too it, ive killed a lot of monsters, such as dusties, and no drop, the went with no wealth, got a few rune drops..

The Ring of wealth increases the chance of its wearer getting rare or good item drops from monster drops.

Ok thanks for confirming that it helps I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing out on something:)

As said above, it increases the chances of getting a rare drop.

 

 

 

Personally i have killed well over 2000 iron dragons, and most of the time i was wearing a ring of wealth. I have never ever got a dragon drop.

 

 

 

Alot of people decide not to wear it as it seems to make no difference. (But i'm gonna continue to wear one till i get a rare drop lol)

I got a d legs at kill 60 or so with wealth...but that was ages ago :lol:

And i got a Visage around 2k kills at iron without one. I think its all basicly luck. 3/5 whips ive gotten, ive gotten without a RoW.

The ring of wealth probably works. If you have one, wear it. If you have a warrior ring or berserker ring, then you have to ask yourself if faster kills and experience will counter-balance the lesser rate of rare drops "in the long run". If you don't have these, then stick with the ring of wealth. It's mostly a matter of choice as I've never seen any in-depth analysis of the ROW, while the warrior ring and berserker ring can be studied pretty easily with a couple hours of training.

Back to the fabled question, can we prove the ring of wealth actually works.

Everyone who is saying that it increases your chances of a rare drop are DEAD WRONG.

 

 

 

As explained by Jagex, the ring of wealth increases the quality of your drop if you're lucky enough to get a spin on the rare wheel.

 

 

 

Imagine a roulette wheel- every single slot is filled by a drop. If your ball drops into the green slot, however, you get tossed onto a second wheel (the rare wheel). It's on the rare wheel that the ring of wealth has an effect- no one knows exactly what the mechanism is, but the wealth probably increases the number of slots for the monster's top drop (a visage in the case of iron dragons) or eliminates a slot or two of the "bad" rare drops (teeth and loop halves).

 

 

 

Yes, it's worth it to wear one, but it does NOT increase your CHANCES of getting a rare drop.

It does not increase your chances of getting to spin that rare wheel, but if on that rare wheel, there are crap drops, and it increase your chance of getting a quality drop on that wheel, then by definition it increases your chance for a "rare good" drop. As we don't know the full mechanics, all we do is pure speculation.

Ya thats how its been explained for a while, still rather believe in luck tho...

While we're talking about irons and visages, anybody know the drop rate of a visage from irons?

I think its all luck, but some people say its 1/15000...

the visage drop rate? HORRIBLE! thats all i can say, not really worth trying for, your better off doing arma and hoping for a 4 man hilt, Like I got!

Way to bump a week old thread when the question has already been answered. Seriously, what is the point? :roll:

 

 

 

If you want to boast of your achievments go to this thread....

Ah, the RoW debate, possibly the most debated topic ever.

 

 

 

I guess it works, why else would JaGEx stick the name 'Ring Of WEALTH' on something, and make it not do anything. #-o

I'm sorry, but you are the one that is wrong here. ^^

 

Yes, it does increase your chances of getting a rare drop.

 

While you are completely correct on the fact that it does not affect he first wheel (and thereby does not increase the chance of getting to that second 'rare' wheel) it does increase the chance of getting on a 'rare' spot on that second wheel.

 

The second wheel contains both rare and crap drops, a ring of wealth increases the amount of 'rare' spots on the second wheel and thereby increases your chances of getting a rare.

 

The increase is not a very high percentage, I'll have to admit that, and because of that it is pretty hard to notice.

 

Also it still comes down to a load of chance of course, you could wear the ring for ages and not get a good drop and then forget to wear it once and get those legs you where looking for. :P

 

 

 

All in all, unless Jagex wants to fool us badly and thinks it funny in some way that we all hope the ring works while it doesn't, we can assume the ring works.

 

Though I can imagine Jagex finding it quite fun to see all those debates about it. :P
