Moe_Is_4210 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The Ring of Wealth is probably one of the most 'secretive' Jagex items. Until now... Mod Ash was in his CC yesterday talking to peeps for a few hours, and here's what he had to say about the Ring of Wealth: I'd post this on the RuneScape Forums but unfortunately Jagex refuses to give the forum a decent update to allow such things. :P Discuss.

Racer434 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 its only really good for monsters who drop little else except gems and half keys and such. I use it on tasks where all they drop is from that rare drop table i.e. demon tasks "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Confucius "choosing your path is the true trial", "the most honorable dilemma" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe_Is_4210 Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 I believe they said in the knowledgebase that it would only remove nothing drops - Nothing about gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadiochao Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Removing nothing drops is what gives you the better chance of getting an item from the rare drops table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbagad Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I believe they said in the knowledgebase that it would only remove nothing drops - Nothing about gems.I'm guessing you didn't read the whole article then. "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 drop table is shared between a variety of NPCs""The ring of wealth comes into play whenever you are rolling on the rare drop table" It makes it pretty clear.

Shadiochao Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 It only affects monsters that drop gems because gems are a part of the rare drop table, and the ring increases the chance of an item on the rare drop table.

Nabbagad Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The KB is often wrong.Yeah the KB does have quite a few errors. But in this case for the row, when they announced it, it was a pretty big deal as it was the first time they released info regarding how the row actually works. Considering the depth of information and the announcement, I'm sure it was more thoroughly checked than a regular KB addition.

Sy_Accursed Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Yeah thats very old news. Was confirmed ages ago RoW effects the "rare" drop table, but pretty much every item polayers consider rare is not part of the rare drop table, they instead are in the "special" drop table Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people still assume that it increases the chances of rare drops, when it doesn't. I'm guessing this may have been obvious for a few peeps but there were lots of theories behind the ROW regarding it increasing coin drops, charms, clues, etc etc. When he said this in game, people were shocked at the response.

They are pretty much useless anywhere. Nothing particular, the drop table completely changes. Items I consider valuable enough to sell or alch (half keys, rune stuff) nearly triple, and dragon items pretty much double. Remember when we used to kill dust devils for dragon chains? The chain was around 26k without and 16k with. Have I convinced to look at your nearest drop table yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Squab Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Yeah, no new news here, ring is useless at bosses, but could be somewhat useful on slayer, depending on the task. Squab unleashes Megiddo!

You know you wanna see it.]my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them meBuying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.
