i pretty much found out the gem/half key/half shield ratios i made a post a long time ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

its something like X is probability of a saphire

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

X/4 = emerald = Y

 

 

 

Y/4 = ruby = Z

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i forgot all the exact numbers, but what I did was camp at earths for a month and I tallied all half keys and gems, and i devised a ratio formula that was fairly accurate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but im pretty sure it's different for all NPCs, because some npcs drop gems more often than others.

Only sage advice I can give is the drop will come when it's the last thing you expect. Anyway, Oergg is right, it's all moot because the obby is better. :wink:

err thing is they are rune meds.. we are talking about d half shield with like 1 in 24k chance of getting.. bit different

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well i definately realize that a left half is way different than a rune med...i was just using that to show that the ring of wealth definately does have an effect on drops...i think it's pretty hard to deny that. But even with it I think it seems pretty possible to still have to kill thousands of monsters for a dragon drop

i've gottan a left half from a dustdevil and discovered they drop gems more frequently than any other monster, so try them :)

i have herd that the dragon left half is the rarest drop in the game because i killed 29k dusties and didnt get one.

 

 

 

the thing is i didnt even get a dragon chain from them! poeple say that its a 1:10000 drop for the chain and a 1:1000000 for the left half but i dont belive anything anymore i think its just all about your luck.

fire giants arent that great at all, ive heard from friends that blk demons are much better dragon droppers then fire giants

 

 

 

i would also bank on any higher lvl slayer monster i.e. abby demon, dust devils, dark beasts

sry cant help u i never got left half drop

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...must b pretty rare if i made it to combat lvl 109 and havent gotten it

fire giants shadow warriors or abbysal demons probabyl, but dont bother, obby shield is pretty much better looks neat anyway and ya know..maybe dragon kite is comin out with this new quest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(says the guy with 2 left halfs in his bank)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yea obby shields rock!!! And cost alot less :D

i thought someone said dark beasts droped lefts like mad, but hey idk im only 65

 

err thing is they are rune meds.. we are talking about d half shield with like 1 in 24k chance of getting.. bit different

i never use a ring o wealth and i get a few meds per lesser trip if i have to do them for slayer : / so i think i will deny it 8)

i read on the runescape forums about how jagex explained the ring of wealth. look at it like 2 roulette wheels. the first wheel would have your normal stuff like coins and air runes and there is one rare spot. if the wheel lands on the rare spot, it will spin the second "rare" wheel and this is where the ring is supposed to help. :shrugs: i dunno i wear it around anyways, even if it is false hope :D and i must have been down looking for obby stuff one night for 4 hours, and i got about 1500 tokul, lol but my friend walked outta there with a cape and a shield within about 2 hours, and i stayed longer upset at how crappy my luck is, to eventually leave defeated. im gonna go give it another go in a bit here i think
