Berserker ring..... worth it?

[Zaaps1]

BUT ONLY USE THEM IF YOU CAN AFFORD THEM! AKA you will have money left over to suit your needs.

 

 

 

i can afford the warriors without any real effect on my cashpile........however when i get the 2m odd that i'll get sometime (please keep sending me the turoths, fire giants and banshees sumona :pray: please :pray: ) should i switch to the berserker? or wait till i get more?

 

 

 

You should never buy high level equipment if it leaves you broke. The ring isn't that good that it should take up all of your money. Maybe if you had like 20m and really wanted it, then it would be worth it. But if you want faster xp with 2m you're much better off praying superhuman strength or piety and using prayer pots tbh.

Why does he need 18m sitting in his bank, he's not using it, so get the flippin ring...

 

(yes I know that was an example)

(yes I know that was an example)

 

 

 

1) He says he does not have enough for the ring yet, but when he does he'll only just afford it

 

2) There are many better things to spend money on that will yield greater results, examples being potions, prayer, and familiars, let alone better equipment. Just using Superhuman Strength would give better xp than a zerker or warrior

 

3) From his post wishing for turoths, fire giants, and banshees, I'm going to have to say he is doing slayer. In that case, if he chooses, keeping money in the bank will keep the option of cannoning open, which is very very fast slayer xp and nearly every single task has cannoning capability (only exceptions are Waterfiends, metals, and tasks in the Slayer Tower, but half of those you can do elsewhere and cannon).

 

 

 

So once he has all the basics, then he should go to the more advanced stuff. There are many things that are simply better than the Ring, and he should logically get those first.

Seeing as he's on a cash crisis and can't afford to buy a Berzerker, it wouldn't be smart to use prayer/cannon, you can't sell the cannonballs back as they were used, you cannot sell the potions back as you already drank them.

 

 

 

He's LOW ON CASH therefor something he could SELL BACK LATER if he needs to would be a lot smarter.

[Zaaps1]

What are you saying...?

 

 

 

You say now that you shouldn't get the bring if you can't afford it. I agree with that, ok we're good.

 

 

 

Then you say if you have a lot of money, then you should buy the ring. But I say that if you have a lot of money you're better off spending it on a cannon or on potions/prayer.

 

 

 

I'm talking about two different scenarios here.

[bedman]

For things such as a fury, dfs, godsword, zerkers, I'd say you should only buy it if you have at least 3x the cash it costs. They are all not worth their price tag, but you can resell easily.

[stonewall337]

Zerker is a relitivly cheap one time cost, you can always sell it again. I love mine, and think it is defiantly worth it.

[Kazel]

I always use Warrior's when I melee simply because it's fairly inexpensive for a medium difference. I never understood the people who spent 4m on Ranger Boots just to squeeze out that little Ranged gain over snakeskin boots, and the same with a Robin. Warrior's Ring is less than 200k for a slight boost, which I personally find to be fairly cheap. However, Berserker Rings are 3m for the same slight boost, just in a different category. Maybe it's because I have found that total offense isn't everything that I prefer the attack/defence boost over the strength boost.

 

 

 

And on a side-note, I always use Wealth when ranging.

[The Dark Lord]

I personally prefer the slash bonuses of the warriors ring over the berserker ring. Plus, the warriors ring is about 100k, whereas the berserker ring is about 1.8M.

Berserker Ring is well worth it. It costs like 1.4m or somewhere around there, and it gives like a 4 strength bonus. Ring of Wealth increases drops for RUNE items. It then decreases the drops of other items such as dragon and rares and such. It's not worth it unless the monster you are slaying has strictly only rune drops as its best, or items you don't want/need.

Well, from many rumors, I've heard it only increases rune. That's why they never want you to wear them at GWD, because it reduces the chance of hilt/shard drops and increases the chance of rune.

 

 

 

Say rune drop at GWD was 1/10. Say hilt drop was 1/30. If you increase the rune percentage drop, it only makes sense that it "pushes" the other drops away, making rune say, 1/5 now, and hilt 1/35, or something along the lines of that. It's sort of like equivalent exchange, as Edward Elric would say ;}. To gain something(rune), something of equal or lesser value must be sacrificed(hilts and shards).

I've never heard that rumor before, and I think it's completely ludicrous.

[Judobreaker]

IMO warrior's ring > berserker ring

 

how are those bonus as small as they are affect anything?

 

 

 

Warrior ring increases your chance to hit, very useful. Berzerker ring increases your max hit by 1, very useful.

 

Ring of wealth, like I stated before, is very useless.

 

 

 

Ring of wealth only seems unless because it's all random. It does, in fact, help. Unless you're after something that isn't labeled as expensive, such as a clue, you have no evidence to say that RoW does not help, while Jagex states that the RoW does help you get expensive drops more often.

 

 

 

Warrior ring gives +4 to slash and only slash. Zerker ring gives +4 strength, but that only makes it possible to hit higher, not adding damage. +1 damage every once in a while is completely no worth it. When every damage counts, such as when you are pking, then maybe it'll help. But when you are dealing thousands of damage then honestly you'll do maybe 50 extra damage because of the ring in 1 hour, and that's 200xp. +200xp per hour is not worth the high sticker price when that money is better spent on prayer potions for Superhuman Strength or Piety.

 

 

 

You clearly didn't read my above post, RING OF WEALTH DOESN'T HELP UNLESS YOUR ALREADY LUCKY!

 

 

 

 

 

"Ring of Wealth increases the chance of WHICH rare drop you get...

 

How drop's work:

 

 

 

2 Wheels are involved, the first wheel spun decides WHAT CATEGORY DROP WILL COME FROM. Rare, Uncommon, Common, ect.

 

The second wheel decides WHAT DROP FROM THAT CATEGORY YOU GET.

 

 

 

Ring of wealth increases the size of the spot on the SECOND WHEEL, but only if your first wheel was the RARE wheel, NOT the first wheel."

 

 

 

 

 

That's how a ring of wealth works, it wont make you get rare drops more often. Berzerker ring and warriors ring help, BUT ONLY USE THEM IF YOU CAN AFFORD THEM! AKA you will have money left over to suit your needs.

 

 

 

Uhm... Try reading Jagex's explanation again.

 

It DOES increase the chance of getting a rare drop.

 

Not on the first wheel, I agree with you on that, but on the second wheel.

 

If you hit the rare spot on the first wheel you can still get crappy drops because the second wheel is full of crappy drops too.

 

The Ring of Wealth increases the amount of rare drops on the second wheel, in other words it increases your chances of getting a rare.

Max out slash bonus, aka warrior ring/helm. Always use a defender, shields fail.

[D Jay99]

It doesn't really matter anyway, for the bonuses are so small they're barely noticable. Only buy a zerker if you want to feel like you're using the best ring possible, but it honestly wont really affect your xp. Same for row, some people love it because of the drops it gives them and some people get the same drops without it.

 

 

 

In the end, the differences are so small it's just a matter of preference. If you want a slightly raised chance on a better rare drop, wear a row, if you want more xp, wear a warrior/zerker. If you want your ring to make you money, you're probably better off wearing a ring of life, as it will probably save you more money than your row will ever get you in drops.
