ring of wealth

I don't know if it really helps on the drops but I like to think so at least.

 

But does it work if I change to it right before the monter dies or do I havew to wear it all the time?

That's a good question.. and it's one I doubt anyone knows the answer too. You could ask someone at Jagex, but even they might not know. :P The workings of the RoW were always a huge mystery, several JMods giving several answers, until they finally cleared it up on the Knowledge Base page. Good luck finding an answer though. :)

Ring of wealth does not affect monster specific drops, it only affects drops such as key halves, gems, dragon sq. halves etc. Its in the knowledge base somewhere.

Not sure about wearing it the whole time or just for the drop. There is at least one monster where the ROW makes a noticeable difference, so this could be tested. In 99% of cases, though, the ring is fairly pointless.

Above comments are right. Also drops are determined upon the monster dieing. Same like clues are determined when the reward is handed out. (that has been proven when new clue rewards were handed out).

So if you put on the ring before you do the final damage to the dragon (to be sure, before you are going to land the hit that kills it), the ring of wealth should work.

 

Tough.. like above said.. It won't help on d skirt / d legs. Shield halfs and those, sure :D

The only thing the Ring of Wealth does is replace "nothing" drops with one of the following:

 

Gems

Half Keys

Dragon Spear

Dragon Left Half

Rune Spear

5 Rune Javelins

Nature Talisman

Hi

 

Here is what is written on the official site:

 

The Ring of Wealth

 

The ring of wealth's magical power can sometimes have an effect on the drops that you receive from defeated NPCs. To understand how it works, we first need to define some terms.

 

 

• 
   
  
• 100% drop - Most creatures have what is called a '100% drop' which they will drop every time they are defeated (e.g. bones or ashes).
   
  
• Main drop - This will be an item drawn from an NPC's 'drop table' based upon a random 'roll' (imagine a dice roll or roulette wheel).
   
  
• Drop table - This is a list of all items that an NPC could possibly drop. The percentage chance of receiving each item varies depending upon the item's relative value.
   
  
• Secondary drop - Some creatures also have a secondary drop. So far, this only consists of charms used in Summoning.
  Quest drops - in some instances, an NPC will drop a quest-specific item (e.g. the unique bones required for the Rag and Bone Man or Fur 'n' Seek quests).
  

 

 

On most NPCs' drop tables, there is a small chance that instead of receiving an item from its own drop table, you will instead get a roll again on the 'rare drop table'. The rare drop table contains some of the more exclusive items in the game, including, but not limited to, dragon items, certain rune items, shield halves, key parts and uncut gems. The rare table also contains 'empty slots' - the end result of landing on these empty slots is often referred to as receiving 'no drop' or 'bone drop'. We keep these slots empty for any future drops that we want to add to this table.

 

The rare drop table is shared between a variety of NPCs - e.g. goblins, fire giants, most Slayer creatures. A good way to tell is that if an NPC is known to drop a half key, then it will drop other items from the rare drop table. There are, however, certain very rare drops that are not on the rare drop table, because they are specific to certain NPCs or NPC types (e.g. the draconic visage is only ever dropped by dragons; godsword pieces only by the God Wars Dungeon bosses) and it would not make sense for these items to be dropped by, say, a fire giant.

 

The ring of wealth comes into play whenever you are rolling on the rare drop table, its ability effectively removing most of the empty slots, drastically increasing your chances of receiving an item from the rare drop table. The actual percentage increase differs between NPCs. Adventurers who make regular use of a ring of wealth should find that they receive fewer 'no drops' than adventurers who do not, and, therefore, receive more rare drops and, in the long run, gain more wealth.
