The ring of wealth is a LIE!

[Dalcyte]

It does work, but you had a better run with a bezerker ring. You could've easily gotten the same value of a run with a ROW or with no ring or with a seers ring. Run to Run comparisons don't really work so hot.

[noble_aloof]

well, i'm assuming that spectres are like aviansies- wearing the ring decreases the rate of the (more profitable) common drops.

I believe in Jagex

[Uula]

It's like religion; it's all about belief, proof would make it obsolete.

[Torlen]

Your evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.

Your evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.

 

your sarcasm is overwhelming and palpable

[D Jay99]

The point is, it maybe gives you a 5-10% better chance on a rarer drop that is already rare. No wonder you aren't going to notice much of a difference. You can get good drops with and without it, and for most people it's not going to matter whether they wear one or not. Personal preference I'd say, as no one has enough data to conclusively prove by how much % it really affects drops.

[gremmy]

Of course it's not a lie. Jagex made the game, and Jagex tells us that it affects the rare drops.

Can someone lock this pile of rubbish?

 

 

 

It works, maybe not amazingly, but it does. You're [developmentally delayed]ed to think any other way.

[No_99_Melee]

Why can't the ring of wealth just have charges that dissapear when it works?

 

 

 

That would finally end all this working/ not working nonsense. If you don't have physical evidence then it's just another hypothesis...

[K112]

If there was no controversy, and it undoubtedly worked, you would find the wealth costing excessive amounts. Especially if the ring was destroyed after the charges were used up.

 

Speculation like this causes it to be stable, as well as giving the boffins that play Runescape something to do \

I practiacally live in the metal dragons dungeon, and I would never leave home without my ROW. Have gotten tons of dragon armour and 5 visages in total. I had killed 8k irons/steels before I got the first visage though, so patience is the goal =)

[TomcatLX]

Alot of people have already explained their experiences in this thread so I won't.

 

 

 

However, I have come to state my vote on the Ring of Wealth.

 

 

 

My vote is: The ring of wealth is NOT A LIE!

[Naive]

I got a visage and 2 dragon skirts in one steel dragon task just recently, using the explorer ring. The Ring of Wealth may or may not work, but I prefer to wear a Warrior ring or Archer ring, depending on how I'm slaying. It's a matter of preference and maybe perspective.

[The Observer]

I've personally found I've received more rannar drops while killing green dragons. In fact, I've had an average of 2 per trip with a Ring of Wealth. But, that could just be plain dumb luck. I'll do some more trips to see how they go.

[Unknown_Warrior]

Ring of Wealth got me 3 Dragon claws, 2 Dragon medium helmets, 1 Dragon platelegs, 1 Dragon hatchet, 2 Berserker rings and 2 Warrior rings.

 

 

 

Even if it's superstition, I will continue to use it on all boss monsters.

[Kenneh]

I personally believe ring of wealth doesnt help. I've had all my good drops on a berserker.

+1 for the locking, and the fact that it works.

 

 

 

The thing is if you kill faster with zerker, archer, whatever.

 

 

 

Wealth improves drops by 5% according to Zarfot's results. However, do you get 5% faster kills with another ring? And how much is the value of experience?

 

 

 

I just stick to a fremmy ring usually because most of the time, I'm in a CC where I can get good drops, and ring of wealth doesn't affect it there. However, I've been trying ring of wealth at TD's, and it definitely makes a difference in charms there... but I'm just unlucky when it comes to drops, lol.

 

 

 

Imo, Ring of Wealth is a religion. Choose to believe it or don't choose to believe in it. Only the cake is a lie.

[chris924]

Obviously it will help but not by that much otherwise it would be worth a whole hell of a lot more than 30k.

 

 

 

The only thing to think about is how much more?

 

 

 

Say, hypothetically speaking, it increases the chance of a "good drop" by 2%, can you kill 2% more of the monster wearing a warrior or berserker ring instead?

[SwordKill11]

The notion that the ring of wealth doesn't really work has been tossed around for years now - but it all boils down to the question of, why would Jagex bother to create a relatively high level ring that actually does nothing, and lie about its effects?

 

 

 

I think the best answer is what a few other people have posted - The percentage of getting a rare drop is increased so slightly enough by the ROW, that wearing a berserker ring is likely to yield more rare drops simply because its bonuses allow you to kill the monsters faster.

[runevirage]

ROW doesn't work, at least not noticeably. In the past year they dropped from 60k to 15k each, surely if they did work and had some noticeable effect then such a significant price drop wouldn't be observed.

[Big_Stingman]

Thread Number 411.

 

 

 

:roll:

 

 

 

All I know is I got a visage with a RoW. Lucky meh!

[spooferfish]

Look its another post that exists because someone doesn't know how a RoW works, and because it doesn't give them a 1:1 rare drop ratio.

[stonewall337]

I personally am undecided on ROW. I have about 200 Tormented demon kills without ROW and I got 4 ruined armor pieces, and about 200 kills with ROW dry. This would seem to indicate that ROW doesn't work. However, I am getting more rune, fewer lava runes, and better average drops. Those aren't rare I know, and others in SODB who TD swear by ROW. Personally, I believe although it does have an impact, for some tasks you can kill a significant amount more with zerker/warrior instead of a ROW, since ROW probably has a rather small impact on improving rare drops.

 

 

 

EDIT: I didn't read what sword said before I posted. FML

[sees_all1]

I just read/skimmed through most of the posts in this thread, and its unbelievable how biased each and every one of you are. Even though I've never had an experience with the Ring of Wealth, I'd like to point out several things:

 

 

 

1. None of you know everything that is in the rare table. Jagex may have deemed something you perceive to be common to be rare, and without knowing everything in the rare table it is impossible to determine a statistic for the Ring of Wealth.

 

 

 

2. With each of your posts about your experiences, none of you have experienced enough rare drops to even become statistically significant to even about 20-40% - one trip means absolutely nothing in statistics, you need to repeat the trials over and over again... tens, hundreds, thousands of times.

 

 

 

3. The only knowledge you have of the game engine is what Jagex lets you know. Exactly what numbers go into the drop table, or how it goes through its numbers is unknown to you. While Jagex's answer does provide some clues, it isn't the code, and its only the code that can give you a definitive answer (or the Jagex Staffer who programmed it... ).
