My ring of wealth theory

[toadalmighty]

well people have been debating about this subject for years and here is what i think of it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ring of wealth has AN EFFECT, but that effect is unpredictable, for instance if i went hunting dust devils for herbs with a wealth and then later on with for a chain, would the wealth know i was hunting for herbs and then chain? therefore it does create a bonus but the item it creates the bonus for are unpredictable

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

discuss

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and feel free to say if you dopnt understand

The ring of wealth provides a chance bonus of getting a higher priced item from a monster. You can't change it so it makes your luck better on a particular item.

Fact. And end of discussion lol :lol:

[berbatovsky]

I understand what your saying, i've heard many ideas on how the ROW works, it increases the amount of gold you get occasionally, it increases the amount of rares you get etc..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only effect i have seen is when i needed to catch the ship to karamja and forgot gold so i killed goblins like i used to before i was members and i killed one and got 30 coins- goblins dont drop 30 coins without wealth (tested by me massacaring goblins in F2P). So thats the only effect ive seen that is proven (unless they increased what the goblins drop).

[CRAIGMEANIE]

My lame and stupid theory is:

 

 

 

Jagex has a "item" everyday and that "item" is the item that is eaiser to get with the Ring of Wealth...

 

 

 

Its wrong but its what i used to think :XD:

[Robert_Rdam]

I guess you are all right, but this still doesn't explain HOW the RoW works. Because I heard people say that RoC (ring of charos) works for them, others think a ring of life does it. And there are people that say it's all random, so..I don't quite understand. :|

[swordwindtrtrtrt]

ROW has no effect on clue scrolls, defenders, etc because theyre not worth as much gold. t does have an effect, so it is best warn when you want the highest priced item a monster drops; e.g. chain from KQ, dragon legs/skirt from metal drags etc.

theres your answer, there never was much of a mystery

You have 1 wheel when wearing no ring of wealth, you have two when you wear a ring of wealth, everytime you kill a monster the wheel rotates and stops at an item, if you're wearing no ring, you have a chance of getting an item, if you're wearing a wealth ring, you have a double chance of getting an item. Something like that, got it of a J mod.

[Myweponsg00d]

Ring of Wealth just increases the ODDS of a good drop. In other words, you have a BETTER chance to get a rare drop from a monster. Notice how I underlined that word: chance. That means it is still a chance, and still depends on luck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ring of wealth does not increase the number of good drops you get, it just increases the chance of getting those drops. Its still a random chance though.,..

[Severation]

Let's say the chance of getting a banana drop from a monkey is 10:1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RoW would up that to, say, 5:1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(number of monkeys killed):(banana)

[Sjakie_1_1_3]

I'm pretty sure some Jagex mod explained it somewhere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's like you have 2 roulette wheels. The first wheel contains the nomal drops and a spot for a rare drop. The ring of wealth does NOT have an effect on what you draw on this wheel. But, if your lucky and draw the rare item spot on the first wheel a 2nd wheel will start. Now, when your wearing the ROW you have a bigger chance to get a rarer item from the 2nd wheel.

[dude_of_war4]

in a nutshell, it will give you a better chance of something worth more in a GENERAL STORE than anything else

[wretched_axe]

and on top of that al; there is NO way some pixel could now what drop you want :oops: a computer can't mind read you know :P

[Platinum_Myr]

I support the wheel theory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With out the ring, you have a wheel, and it spins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What it lands on is your drop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the ring of wealth, you have two spinning wheels,

 

 

 

And you get the "better" of the two drops, according to the games pricing value at the general store

That's the "most correct" theory there can be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was answered by Guthix in an older letter, posted on the main RS page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) If thou consider the possessions of an enemy to be like a roulette wheel, then the 'rare' items so coveted by players are located on a second roulette wheel, that will only be spun shouldst thou roll a specific number on the first wheel.

 

 

 

The ring of wealth affects not the number which thou may achieve upon the first wheel, but should thou gain the precise number to allow thee access to the second, the ring will make thy chances of gaining an object on that second roulette wheel all the greater.

 

 

 

My analogy is flawed, for death is not like roulette, but I hope that thou see the truth within this.

I can confirm this story. The 2-wheel theory was explained by a J Mod on the official forums.

 

 

 

1 wheel determens the type of drop.

 

 

 

The second wheel determens the specific drop in that group.

 

 

 

If the parts on both wheels are really small, then there is a VERY SLIGHT chance..

[o_knames]

I agree with the wheel theory, but I think people may be slightly off. With or without the ring, there is a slot on that first hypothetical roulette wheel, and if you land on that spot, you move to a second wheel of "rare" drops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Ring of Wealth just makes the rare slot on the first wheel bigger so that you land on it a little more often.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At some point I remember reading something from a reliable source that confirms this, but to be honest, I can't attest to the reliability anymore. It's just what I remember reading somewhere.

No. The wheel theory states that the ROW has no effect on the first wheel. It only affects the second wheel. The ROW therefore does NOT increase your chances of receiving a rare item. The ROW helps to make the rare item better, should you roll the chance for a rare.

[Iv_Green_vI]

What I think that it does is. That is increases the chances of getting what that monsters most common drop is. So what i did was i killed 50 fire giants without ring of wealth.. Only got 150 fires, but then i put on ROW and killed another 50 and I ended up with 450? Could be chance or it could be ROW.. You never know.. *X Files Theme music*

[toast647]

The ring of wealth can't read your mind -.-

 

 

 

ROW > Any other ring

 

 

 

2 D skirts, 2 D Chains and one warrior ring with it on.

[Shadow93]

out of 50k dust devils i've killed with RoW, i only got 3 left halfs and 2 spears :-k

[Frankdragoon]

rawr i wantz d chainz...some d00d told me that the "ROW" increased ur chance of getting better drops by 15% :-k

Well if you read the other posts, you'll see that that's not really true. It just increases your chances of getting a better rare. It does NOT help increase your chances of getting a rare, just a better one.

i always use mine

 

 

 

ive noticed if you wear it and kill things like chaos druids you get better herbs
