Ring of stone update Discussion

[Emmentail]

I believe that Jagex will update bronze items to become more useful in time. Let's make a topic!

In this case Jagex has said they will update the ring. Updating bronze items they have not.

It may also have other magical abilities which are unknown at this time.

 

That does not constitute a statement from Jagex saying they are going to update it. Besides.. how long has that been there? :rolleyes:

I think the ring of stone could just add +[a lot]% in all soak when worn, and leave you unable to attack. However to prevent it from becoming the ultimate tank ring you'd have to make sure monsters also ignore you. I think some bosses already react to being attacked by familiars (Graardor) so I think it's possible.

Or with the name "Ring of Stone" it could give some defense bonuses and actually have the ability to be worn.

 

It's not made of stone though, it's made of onyx. The enchantment on the ring is what gives the ring its name. Worse still, if this onyx ring gave defense bonuses comparable to other stone armor we have--namely granite--would you call it even superior to a Warrior Ring? Or even a Diamond Ring (i)? Most likely not, especially considering the price tag for it.

 

The biggest hindrance to changing this ring is the materials used to make it. Putting effort into reworking this item, like they had with the Regen Brace, seems like wasted effort. I could even have a problem understanding whether or not a graphical update would be sensible, since the old mining rock style is still around as decoration.

Not to go too off-topic, but RS isn't exactly meant to be realistic. Just think: Magic, firemaking with a box, and the quest Perils of Ice Mountain, none of which occur in our world.

 

Furthermore, as with our current rings, they aren't directly hit, and are, at the same time, enchanted magically to hold properties it wouldn't normally have had. This seems perfect to me.

 

Off-topic: Your firemaking-in-a-box logic is flawed. Back before matches or lighters people actually used what's called 'flint and steel', in which they would keep pieces of charred cloth and frayed rope/birch bark in a tiny box, along with a piece of steel (which resembles brass knuckles) and a piece of flint stone. It took skill and precision but, striking the steel against the flint stone whilst thumbing a piece of charred cloth, would create a spark which would catch on the cloth and then be able to be turned into fire.

 

On-topic: This ring needs an update. I remember buying them when they first came out, in hopes an update would come so I could merch them. Hahah, 6+ years later...

I honestly can't tell if this is even a serious post. It's almost as if you're trying to argue over something so stupid, you just want attention. Anyone with the reading comprehension of a 12 year old could, quite clearly, understand the meaning of my post without feeling the need to pointlessly flame over an over-analysis of a phrase I said. You know the thread, "What happened to this community?" This is the kind of horrible post it's addressing. Lurk more.

 

Please, feel free to show me a fire being lit purely by dropping the contents of a box onto firewood. Hmg not possible? Better over analyze this post too! My "logic" that I supposedly need to deduce common sense must be flawed[/sarcasm].

Simplist solution would be to allow the guy at mobilizing armies to write over the enchantment with his own.

To make it another onyx (i) styled ring, have I understood that correctly? If so, that's not too shabby an idea, but it would seem like you'd have to allow it to make ring of life (i)'s as well.

I think 'write over' might mean overwrite, e.g. erase the original enchantment. Of course that could be done with other gemmed rings, too.

Sigh. Why are the majority of runescape players so sensitive? There was no need to make an entirely off topic post to address me. If pointing our the fact that a tinder box is historically accurate, is considered flaming in your eyes, I would hate to see how you respond to trolls. I was merely educating you on something you did not know exists. instead of being hostile and standoff'ish, you should thank me for shedding some light on a subject for you.

 

As far as "dropping a box" goes, it's a game, fool. They obviously aren't going to go through the whole process, that would be absurd.

 

please, calm down and just relax. No ones going to steal your cookies.

firemaking with a box

 

I'm pretty sure tinderboxes actually exist.
