Ring of wealth (2024)

effectiveness[]

it increases the chances of a half key, a dragon spear, and (possibly) a dragon half shield. However, it is debatable whether it has any other effect. --Eucarya 16:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

...copied from my talk page, may be useful to some people...

I found it interesting that you don't use a ring of wealth. Do you not believe in them? Two out of my three d drops have been when I wasn't wearing one, so I'm not sure how I feel about them myself. --Wowbagger421 22:47, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I think ring of wealth only affects "second dice roll" type of drops. For example, if you were creating a new monster you'd say code it as Herb 20, Gem 5, Bronze longsword 3, Chaos runes 3, Air runes 6, etc... The engine then just packages this into a set of probabilities.

Now only "Herb" and "Gem" would involve a "second dice roll" - so you kill the monster, the drop selected is "Gem". Now then, the engine then has a second dice roll to determine the "quality" of that gem. Ring of wealth merely improves the odds on what type. In this specific example, "Gem", there's not just sapphire, emerald, ruby and diamond. In addition to this there's Dragon spear, Dragon half shield, and Half of a key. We know this because anything that drops gems can also drop those items. What your ring of wealth does is improve the chances of getting a "better" result on the second dice roll. It seriously doubt it will improve the chances of getting, say, a Dragon medium helmet, or any other Dragon armour item, and will probably not affect the rate that the unique slayer drops such as Rune boots or Granite mauls drop.

The way that the ring of wealth works was hinted at in one of the letters pages. --Eucarya ^Talk 08:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Now then, whether there is "Other" second rolls happening I don't know (and if they are, ring of wealth helps). I suspect talismans are a second dice roll, but it is pure guesswork.

Great link and an amusing read. The second dice element only kicks in when there is a choice for the second item. So when killing the KQ, the first dice says "A chainbody", the second dice determines "rune" or "dragon". Obviously, a wealth ring helps in such a case. Same with seed drops, amount of coins drops and so on. The speculation clearly is on the category definition of the first dice. The odds improvement for the second dice roll also is uncertain. Most RS boosts are fairly small (5 to 10 percent maximum). --Miw 14:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Why do you all assume that items are grouped by some common property for the second roll? It seems to me that the more likely scenario is that the first roll determines a drop list from a small choice of possible lists. For example, a monster might have have 3 lists, say, common, uncommon and rare, with probabilities of 70%, 28% and 2% respectively. Each of this lists would then have individual items. The rare list would have items like, for example, rune full helm, rune longsword and, say dragon med, with a 5% chance of a dragon med (making effective probability of getting a dragon med 0.1%). With wealth, the chance for dragon med from the rare lists would be boosted to say, 10%, giving effective probability 0.2%.

I seriously doubt that say, a dragon chainbody is part of a second dice roll. In fact, I suspect that most armour and weapon drops are defined in the first roll, ESPECIALLY where that monster is one of the only to drop it - so KQ will have both rune chain and dragon chain in drop list, rather than this being in a second roll. (Therefore, the ring of wealth would not increase your chances of getting a chain). I have some suspicions that there's a "slayer_coins" second roll defined from a lot of slayer monsters cos there's great similarity between the coin amount drops - 11...44..132..220..460 across a great deal of them. Another drop-set I think might exist is steel battleaxe...steel 2h....rune full helm (Jelly, Gargoyle, Nechryael). However, this could simply be someone copying a to b - it is impossible to tell whether a second dice roll is happening there.

Why have "second dice rolls" at all? It's simply convenient to do so in certain cases - instead of having to modify every single monster to give it a small chance of dropping a dragon spear, all they had to do was modify the "Gem roll" piece code so that immediately, any monster that can drop a gem can also drop a dragon spear. I also suspect that "second dice rolls" have fallen out of fashion - when they introduced crossbows, they seemed to modify a selected group of monsters, rather than the items being on a "second dice roll" that they could insert anywhere. Most monsters don't seem to drop similar armour/weapons every time - the steel battleaxe...steel 2h...rune full helm is the only link I can think of and that looks more a case of copy/paste rather than a second roll (only very extensive testing with/without a ring of wealth including several thousand kills could point to an answer).

--Eucarya Talk 15:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I found a Kalphite queen log on a fan site which documented drop percentages with and without the ring over more than 1000 kills. From this, it was evident that there is around a 1.7% chance of a d chain drop without the ring and only 0.5% with the ring. Two101 20:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

• Ring of wealth has helped me scored better herbs (less guam-types, more ranarr/kwuarm/lantadyme) and gems (diamond) and rune equipment drops such as (rune full helm from jellies). Rare drops become more common, or less rare. Had 2 red dragonhide vambraces drops from dust devils today. All wearing the ring. Nothing really too special, since I got a Shield left half from a dust devil once, when not using a RoW. 165.21.155.115 00:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I think that here on Runescape Wiki, we should keep pages for drop percentages where you can record what drops you get from certain monsters. This would replace the (common)'s on the monsters drop section, because what really is common, uncommon, and rare. And if we had an extensive record, we could actually see if ROW helped the drops, and with many people working on it instead of one persons record, it would be more reliable.-Shadesleer 23:18, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

User:Kodeman76/Drop List This should help you a lot.--Kodeman76 00:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm making a Tormented Wraith log to see how many I kill to get an holy elixir WITH Wealth, and then how much I gotta kill to get it WITHOUT the wealth.-- Brux ^Talk 01:49, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

• I think with how that RoW works you can't get good data with getting just one, i think 5-10 would be a better number. Eather that or you way what you get when you kill 100 of them (or 1000 of them to be more accurate).Mathwiz908 22:19, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

 so i was using my super str potion an it said my ring has glowed.i noticed all that changed out of the normal was i got a temp boost of 1 def lvl

About pickpocketing[]

Is it advisable to wear the ring of wealth when pickpocketing, say Master Farmers? I would really like it if I had a better chance to get rare seeds. But does it have any effect at all?

I THINK(not REALLY sure) that the Wealth only helps in monster drops from KILLING them, so I think it doesn't help in pickpocketing.-- Brux ^Talk 01:47, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Maybe we should do some testing to see if it helps the chances of multiple pickpockets? wolfblade744 20:10, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Muti-combat zone question[]

If you are in a multi-combat zone, and two people (both wearing a ROW) are fighting the same moster, does that increase the odds of getting a good drop even more, or does it remain the same? Mathwiz908 20:01, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

As only the victor (most damage) gets the drops, only his ring would have an effect. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 20:43, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

to be honest if it does help it will literally be a 1 in a million chance. scroll down to see my full comment! asa1130

omg[]

Well, when I was wearing one i got dragon platelegs so... idk maybe there good or not.....

but some of freinds get visages without the rings so still its like a 15/100 chance.

i got 1 too:)

i got 2 without RoW:)

row[]

all the row does is increse the chance of getting a better rare item.If you killed a monster and it dropped a rare item,the ring of wealth increases the chances of that rare being the most valuable one -it doesnt affect the amount of rare items you recieve.

ring of wealth[]

i have been wearing a ring of wealth for a very long time now and went to a lot of effort to get one and personally i am very dissapointed by it. i mainly train with the hill giants near valroc and on a good day i will get a bunch of limpwurts and maybe a ruby if i am really lucky. i read on another website that you can get dragon spears from those guys and everyytime i go down there i ask everyone else that is training if they have ever had a dragon spear or even know somebody that has and thats a lot of people and only three people in the year that i have done this say that they have and in one case they had it on them as i asked and showed it to me! i then ask did you wear a ring of wealth and in one case the dragon spear winner said to me " whats a ring of wealth!?!?!?"!!! they are not very well known at to be honest do absolutly do nothing. i do think there may be some truth in the second dice roll theory but only to the extent that it is like rolling a 100 sided dice! 99 sides say no drop improvement and 1 says ok we we will give you an upgrade from a saphire to a ruby and then u roll again 99 sides versus 1 and eventually to get to a dragon spear it is like a million to one chance!!!

Well, if you don't like your ROW, then sell it. ShinyUnown _{T | C | E} 00:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

well mine works fine as I have got 2 rubys in 10 kills and 3 diamonds in 30.Jamesrules90 09:01, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

The Row has no effect if ur in lootshare or coinshare.

I went to Iron Dragons with my ROW and got two dragon platelegs drops in one trip... The best I've ever gotten without it is 120 bloods, a few rune meds, and a few rune battleaxes... Mythomagic5 00:35, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

ROW[]

One day i was just walking after i bought my ROW and though... Drops that dont normally occure??? So i went to a normal black knight(Leve33) (me level 65) and hit him and found he had 40-45 hp.. And they normally only drop the occasionle air runes/water/fire.. So i sAfter killing him i start to walk away because the rune dropped looked like a air... big deal... So i right click and see its a Death! So im just wondering... Do they nomraly drop that or is that the ROW workin on der

So i go kill the black knight agine:) and no death... its ROW

The Ring of Wealth should only work for rare drops, that means drops that can be obtained without an ROW, but will be 'easier' to get if you do have one. So you probably could have got the deaths without the ROW. Oil4 ^Talk 16:58, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

D full helm[]

i was doing the freminikk achevment diary and i killed my first mith dragon got chewed bones so i figured i would just go make the artic pine pyre ship, i got the d full helm(not wearing RoW), so i decided i have some luck and i got a RoW, so i kill like maybe 20 more nothing did another trip(i forgot my RoW) 2nd mith drag i got a visage, so i sold my ring, and since then i have gotten 4 fulls and 1 visage and none of them with a RoW, and yes i did do about 50% of my kills with a RoW and about 50% without, luck of RoW doesnt work?

It depends, mostly on your luck. But looking from the kills, you are extremly lucky. please sign your posts next time - Murd3rlogist

ROW[]

I have tested the ring on general graador, it was 50 kills without the ring and 50 with the ring.So i got these:

Without ROW:bandos bootsgodsword shard 1godsword shard 32 snapdrag seeds

With ROW:Rune sq shieldRune platebodyDragon medshield left half

and 100 ourg bones

The ROW seems to be decreasing my chances of getting good drops as you can see. --Murd3rlogist 15:40, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

100 kills doesn't provide anywhere near accurate rates, it's all about luck. Come back when you've tried 10000 and we can get an idea of the difference :P --Mortyst 16:01, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

mmmm 10k is too much m8, so far i got 302. Anyways i got these:

With ROW:40k gpbandos tassetsdragon med helm9 snapdragons10 dragonstones2 rune handers

Bird's nest[]

Does it increase the chance to get a bird's nest? Or maybe the chance to obtain a valuable item from a bird's nest?--{{subst:Utente:-Sky-/firma1}} 22:07, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

No. It only affects monster drops. Inhaps ^talk 22:09, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Unrelated but reply-

Rabbits foot, however, increases the chances of Birds nest. (89.240.103.63 08:29, April 13, 2014 (UTC))

New Article[]

They finally added a page about the ring of wealth. Apparently, it can in no way harm your drops, and just prevents you from getting "no drop" drops. An basically increases the chances of getting gems, keys and such from monsters instead of blanks. Also, the article seems to infer that the RoW does increase the chances of getting a visage.Long Live Armadyl 20:15, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

dude, you infer, it implies. 87.194.181.1 01:07, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

True effect[]

The ring of wealth only removes "nothing" drops (empty spaces for future use) on the rare drop table, which is shared by all creatures. Since the rare drop creature is the same for all creatures, it should be easy to compare monsters that have it to determine what it includes. Known items on it are Dragon Spear, Shield Left Half, Uncut gems (sapphire-diamond), both key halves, and rune spear. Rune javelins may be on it as well, but I am not sure about that one. D Meds are not on it, since some of the lower level monsters with the rare drop table (co*ckatrice for example) don't drop D Meds.

All other items besides what is on the rare drop table are part of the monster's normal drop table. So Abyssal Whips, Godsword Hilts and Shards, Bandos Aramor, Armadyl Armor, Dragon Boots, Dark Bows, Dragon Claws, Dragon Platebody parts, Dragon Legs, Dragon Skirts, Draconic Visages, Champion Challenges, Defenders, and such are not affected at all by the ring of wealth. It only would decrease the chance of getting nothing if you landed on rare drop so it doesn’t give normal items any more or less.

Here is a quote from the KB artile, which proves this: "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."

So I think the main post should be edited to clarify that the ring only boost chances not getting a "nothing" drop if you get a rare drop and won't change rate of any of the items I listed in last paragraph. I think the rare drop table items should also be listed or linked to from the main post. Bio 15:57, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

What is rare?[]

How do you know if a drop is considered a "rare" drop and is on the "rare wheel"?24.2.50.127 05:47, March 23, 2010 (UTC) unregistered contributor.

If a drop is unique to certain monsters (ie. staff of light, godsword hilts, draconic visages) then it's definitely not on the Rare Drop Table. Things that drop off the Rare Drop Table should be a drop that most monsters giving access to the Rare Drop Table will drop too. Pretty much the only items we have confirmed are the generic uncut gems (ie. sapphire to diamond), half keys and left shield halves. There are definitely more though, since, as quoted from Jagex: "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".

There is a list on what items are on the table, and what monsters give access to it on the Rare Drop Table article, but it's very likely both lists are incomplete.--Anincent 09:18, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Bad math somewhere...[]

The drops for table 1 add up to 999 for some reason...either I'm miscounting, someone miscounted, or it was vandalised o_o Godel 06:44, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Haha you're right, I just checked. The mistake is in the steel two handed sword, it's listed as having 52 drops but a 5.3% drop chance, 52/1000 = 5.2%, so it's meant to be 53 instead. I've fixed it now, thanks for picking that up.Anincent 18:11, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

"Curiosly, its unenchanted counterpart is far more expensive than itself."[]

Does anyone have any ideas as to why it is less expensive than the unenchanted version? The only explanation I can come up with is that people are being generous because the cheaper it is, the more people will have it. If more people have it, rare items become more common and thus cheaper. Basicly, I think people are making ROWs more accessible to help fuel the economy with increased supply of valuable things. GeneralPatton 21:34, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

People wouldn't waste millions of their own money to lower ROW prices just to have an unnoticeable effect on rare items prices. Cause the change WOULD be unnoticeable, if people want to wear a ROW, they buy one (They're only 10k ffs), if not, they wear a better ring. The price of ROW is low because they were overproduced when people believed they would increase the drop chance for pretty much everything; now people know that they are virtually useless, and have sold them. What's more, all unenchanted jewellery have skyrocketed during the last months or so because of the mess with the rogue guy in Varrock, which is probably a part of the reason for the price difference as well. --Mortyst 22:28, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Don't forget those people will also buy it unenchanted to imbue it in MA. Coelacanth0794 22:31, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

ring of wealth CANT decrease chances of DROPS[]

The ring of wealth does not DECREASE the chance of getting certain drops. What it does is it decreases the chance of getting NOTHING. So wearing a ring of wealth removes some of the "nothings" on the "rare roulette wheel". It DOES NOT stop you from obtaining particular items. Despite evidence that can go against this (I took off my ring of wealth at cave horrors, killed a few to see what I'd get, and then I'm like *Oh my God* its a black mask) ring of wealth does not stop your chances. However... what IS considered "rare"? 24.2.50.127 03:40, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

and how do you find out? (same person)

The graphical explanation section already explains everything you've asked:/. The "rare roulette wheel" is the "rare drop table" which actually has an article detailing it. The first table in the graphical explanation represents the table unique to a specific monster, for example the "Cave horror drop table" is unique to Cave Horrors. Within this unique table there is the chance to get a Black Mask, and also a chance for you to be given a roll on the Rare Drop Table (along with chances to get other items of course), these chances are not affected by wearing the Ring of Wealth (and hence the chance of getting a Black mask is not affected by the Ring of Wealth). What wearing the Ring of Wealth does is that it decreases your chance to get Nothing when you are rolling on the Rare Drop Table (since the Nothing drop appears on the Rare Drop Table).

As for what is on the Rare Drop table (which are the only items affected by the Ring of Wealth), it is up to experiment and experience. We can not know for sure what exactly is on there except for uncut gems, half keys and the left side of the dragon square shield (which were confirmed by Jagex in their explanation). The rest of the items are guesses; however any item that we notice are dropped by a large number of monsters (monsters that also must drop gems and half keys) have a good chance of being on the Rare Drop Table.Anincent 04:26, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Ring of Wealth Effectiveness[]

For all those in doubt of Ring of Wealth:

I am a level 138 who barraged at rock lobsters for charms. It was recommended by man friends to be using Ring of Life (incase of d/c) while others suggested using a Seers Ring(i). I choose myself to decide to choose a Ring of Wealth. Here were the plain results:

Out of 5000 Barrages for each type (total = 10000)

Ring of Wealth: Resulted in about 20-30 more Crimson Charms and about 10-15 more Blue Charms.

Not Ring of Wealth: Less Blue Charms by 10-15. Crimson Charms by 20-30.

I even got some "rare" drops from the rock lobsters. Isn't it obvious that Ring of Wealth increases the chances. This is 5000 Barrages each, not like 300-400. How can you say that it doesn't work? Is there a doubt?

Can post a link to your adventure log to prove your a lvl 138. Theres so many people on the internet who say they are but when they're really only a lvl 30 somethin. Chickngod7 23:46, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

without the ratios, this information isn't particularly helpful. 20-30 more crimson charms means a lot if it is 20-30 more than 0, but not a lot if it is 20 to 30 more than 1000. ditto for blue. what were your totals? Loqk 09:07, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Take a stats class, he was likely bursting rock lobs, 20 or 30 more out of 5k barrages which means like 1.5k-2k charms means nothing. 1% with even a decent sample and high variablity means nothing.

Caution[]

The price has gone up by alot since the march update. Do not sell your ring of wealth to these people offering to buy for 50k. It may be only worth 10k in the trade window but the street price is alot more. Talanquel ☞ 23:01, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Still outdated?[]

I dont know if its outdated anymore , due to the fact that users of The runescape wiki have basically gotten down to the point on this ring on charges ect, Its rather up to date Renamonz/Renamonz 17:22, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Currently it's out of date as to how the ring works. --Henneyj 19:27, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah all the info is still out of date.. would say out of date def applies.

random event?[]

i have the RoW equipped and had a random, my mystery box rewards are more than usual. 8x uncut sapph, 6x avantoe, 38x mithril ore, 42x pure ess, etc. So does the new update also affect randoms?

Toadflax drop: While I was doing slayer I received a drop of 220 noted clean toadflax and the message saying my ring of wealth glowed brightly. I want the drop added to the dust devil drop log but if I add it under herbs it will come across as unbelievable. Are you guys planning on adding a category about special drops? For the record I did receive a drop of 220 clean toadflax from killing a dust devil enabled by the ring of wealth so feel free to incorperate that data.

THERAKE- i got 3778 noted yew logs from a cave horror while wearing the ring of wealth. although ive killed about....1000? i still havent got a black mask. but 3778 yew logs = to about 2m. so the debate continues on the ring of wealths abilitys.

Updated with new information[]

I have no idea where to post this, I hope it's in the right place.

I'm unsure how to edit templates so I thought I'd leave it in the hands of those who know what they're doing.

There have been reports since the recent update on the Ring of wealth that a new rare drop has been added to the rare drop table. I can personally confirm that monsters as diverse as Ice Strykewyrms and Chaos Druids do indeed drop 100 noted Clean snapdragons.

Also of note, others on the forums have been reporting a number of other additions to the rare drop table, a shortlist is as follows:

• 500 Big bones (noted)
• 200 Battlestaff (noted)
• 200 Adamant bolts
• Uncut dragonstone

Same!! I am killing cave horrors and i just got a drop of 1k noted raw swordfish - we didnt to record this data

I'm quite confused. I was farming fire giants with my brother - I was using Ring of Wealth, he was not. Yet he recieved 798 noted adamant ore (edited to correct bars to ore). Are these drops related to the ring or not? Why in the world would he get one yet I not?

-Y

Are you sure he got this drop, or it was left behind as drop someone else got? JOEYTJE50TALK pull my finger 14:01, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

He and I were the only one in the room for several hours. The only explaination would be that I killed one and missed the drop, but I'm pretty confident that didn't happen. I know, if it were some other random person on a wiki talk page I'd be skeptical too. I wouldnt update any main pages yet, but I figured I should post it in case someone else had a similar experience.

Okay, thanks. We will wait until more reports of this come, and if there do come more, we will have to change something. Until then, please keep using the rarity "Ring of wealth" for all of those drops. Thanks for reporting, JOEYTJE50TALK pull my finger 14:27, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Of course. I'm new to this wiki thing. Just trying to help:)

Cheers,

The new drops don't appear RoW exclusive, it seems it's just a new and improved rare table, meaning just like old times, the RoW isn't NEEDED, simply improves chances of a better drop from it, hence the glowing. Exceptions are specific drops like whips, which have an improved chance despite not being on the rare table, which is why the ring glows every single kill on them instead of only when the rare table is accessed. This is what I've gathered from the official update FAQ, previous knowledge, and personal research.SeilTalkHS 17:22, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

RoW in Kuradal's Dungeon[]

It works definitely. I yesterday received a clue scroll drop from greater demons and was wearing ring of wealth. It "shined slightly" or whatever it does when it tells it has helped you. So I changed that this ring DOES WORK in Kuradal's Dungeon. Dotyfree 10:34, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Adding to that, you can switch to ROW from your Ferocious ring right before killing the monster, and it will work. Unfortunately I only got sapphires, rubies, emeralds, cash stacks, and one clue with the help of the ring at Greater Demons. Would someone please confirm if you need to be wearing ROW as you hit the killing blow, or just before the drops appear?

Likely just before the drops appear if timed properly, if it's enough to make the ring glow when a gem is dropped[or any kill on things with special drops like gargs/abbies] then it should be capable. The new drops seem to behave just like the old rare drop table with gems and left halves, it seems the rare table's just been modified with new things, and the ring's chances of affecting it are higher than before[to back this up, it seems everything that had access to the rare table now drops Vecna's skull too.] So, just because it glows doesn't always mean it DID have an effect, just that it COULD have. It's just a visible show of what's always happened, though the chance has increased and there are better rare drops now. SeilTalkHS 17:19, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Just did Greater demons task @ Kuradal's Dungeon. 4 clues dropped with RoW. 241 kills. Dotyfree 17:41, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Switching to ROW from Ferocious Ring in Kuradal's Dungeon:[]

I tried this tactic in Kuradal's Dungeon as well, and I was successfully switching to the ROW as the creature was falling to its death. I received the familiar "Your ring of wealth shines more brightly!" messages every time I received a drop that was supposed to produce the message (ie. gems, high coin drops, and talismans). This is a very useful tactic that can allow you to use both the benefits of your Ferocious Ring, and your ROW together in order to best use your abilities.

[[File:Rspic.png|thumb|RoW glitch with slayer monsters]]There has seemed to be a glitch today with slayer specific monsters (skeletal wyvern and cave horror confirmed) where the RoW shines brightly on every single kill.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by RiotRS (talk).

In the FAQ Jagex said that it's not a glitch, the ring is just used a lot. You can always turn the game filter off if you don't want to see it. ɳex undique 22:28, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

OK so can the ring work if you are wearing it while dealing the final blow or must you wear it for over 50%/the whole kill? Has anyone killed bork without the ring then slipped on the ring just before the final kill? I want to know so I can wear ferocious ring or not at Kuradals while maging steels.

Worth adding that you can recieve a bonus drop twice in a row?[]

I noticed this today. Pictured here [[File:2dropinone.png|thumb|218px]]

It can happen, though quite rarely. If you want, add it to the article (without the image, it it a bit useless). RS:BB Fswe1 15:13, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

pretty useless, it shines every time you get a gem/talisman and those aren't too rare.

So overall, 2 "bonus" (modified) drops in a row isn't that rare.Wolfraider3 15:32, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

i don't know[]

how does it affect barrows, does it give more chance for barrows equipment or just the added stuff?????? --Qazwsx753421 02:05, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Charged?[]

Does the ring need to be charged in order to get the drop benefit? Composite 4

No, charges are just for teleporting.

actually, I think it also affects the gems from mining ability of it. Qazwsx753421 09:45, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Strange rocks[]

I was wondering does wearing the ring of wealth increase the chance of 'finding' strange rocks? It happened to me a couple of times that I found a rock much faster while wearing my ring of wealth then... 'normally'. But this is of course anecdotal. . . . _Yours, Enquidou ^Talk . . 20:24, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Does it effect charms?[]

I've always wanted to know, does the ring of wealth give you more charms, because i know at bork it does. but i was wondering if just killing normal monsters a row helps?

Trivia[]

Both the trivia items are wrong...needs to be removed

I'm using multiple ROW-s (for teleporting purposes). Do the rings share their brightness or does each ring work separately?

List of Monsters with affected drops[]

I was wondering if there was a list of monster which have there special drops effected by the RoW or is it all monsters with special drops?

Ring Of Wealth does affect STATIC GLOVE DROP[]

After killing automaton guardians for at least 30 minutes or so with my ROW a static glove is finally dropped with the "Your ring of wealth shines brightly." Sorry if this has already been confirmed because I did not know that ROW affected static gloves. I'm not too sure about the other gloves that the other guardians drop. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.72.56.35 (talk)on 22:17, October 28, 2013.

Do more charges = more gems while mining?[]

I've been using a Ring of Wealth from 1 to 70 Mining, and after a while I've started to get the suspicion that having more charges on your ring increases the ring's chances of doubling your gems. I don't really have any concrete data, but I'll be mining until I get to Level 85, so I'll collect some along the way, if anybody wants to suggest what I should test first and tell me where to put it. Is there anything out there that would support of disprove this claim?71.232.29.100 21:29, December 19, 2013 (UTC)

If the Amulet of glory has any charges, wearing it while Mining will increase the chances of finding gems. Wearing it when mining the Shilo Village gem rocks will also increase the speed at which gems are mined. As the ring of wealth gives a chance to receive two gems instead of one when one receives a gem while mining, it complements this effect of the amulet of glory well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.74.179.53 (talk)on 23:45, May 5, 2014 (UTC).

Does dragon limbs make RoW shine?[]

So I've had over 8 dragon limbs solo whilst wearing wealth, and the ring has never shined on these drops, but it does shine on the ruined pieces and dragon claws - can anyone confirm? – Ozank Cx09:52, April 13, 2014 (UTC)

(Edit from inexperienced wikia member. Please excuse and forgive me if this is not the correct method of correction or addition to a page) Alright guys, after reading this thread, or, some of it at least, it is clear to me that there is little known knowledge as to how the ring of wealth works. First, let me state that there are two possible ways this can work, and as I am not a Runescape developer, I can not tell you which way is the correct. I can tell you that these two methods are, in one way or another, the only way to code something such as a ring of wealth.

1. 1. This way assumes there are two drop tables. Please do not take this as each monster ONLY HAS two drop tables, but this is for simplicity.

Drop table #1 includes 99 items that we will call normal drops, excluding "always" drops. Drop table #2 includes 10 very rare items on what we will call the rare drop table. In drop table number one, we will have a number set from 1-100, and each of the 99 items will include a number. So if Rune Scimitar is on this list, lets give it the number 1. In drop table number two, we will have the numbers 1-10,000, and again each item in this table will have a number. We'll use a Dragon Full Helm as our example, giving it the number 50.In a normal scenario, you kill a monster, and the script will randomly choose a number from table 1, let's say it gives you a 1. On this kill, you receive a Rune Scimitar. On the next kill, the random number from table 1 is #100, this just happens to be the number you needed to access the rare table. Now the script will "roll" again to randomly choose a number off the rare drop table. It gives you a 50 off of this roll. You get a d full helm. The next kill, once again you get a 100 on the first "roll," therefore you access the rare table again, but the rare table "roll" gives you a 986. This number is not assigned to one of the 10 rare items on the list. So you get nothing from it, at which point the script may roll again from table 1 or you may get nothing, I'm not sure what it does with this situation so let's forget that idea for now. So, to put this into a statistic, your chance of a Rune Scimitar drop are 1 in 100, and a dragon full helm are 1 in 10,000. In copying this example, while wearing a RoW, what the ring will do is take the 10,000 numbers from table two and decrease them. So if the RoW gave you a 10% boost, you go from 10,000 possible outcomes from "roll" #2 and you end up with 9,900 possible outcomes. Increasing your chance of a D helm to 1 in 9,900, assuming you did indeed get a 100 on your first roll. (The first roll will remain a 1 in 100 chance of even getting a second roll, actually making your chances much smaller, but this is not accounted for in my example, again for simplicity.)

Now, example 2. We have table 1 again, but lets use 200 as our number and keep our scimmy at a 1. We will keep table number 2 the same as before. So rolling a 50 will give you a d helm, but its still a 1 in 10,000 shot. the number we need on roll 1 in order to reach the second table at all, is now 200.Now we move our focus from the items in the rare drop table, to the actual possibility of getting to the table. Your odds of getting to the rare drop table at all, are 1 in 200. So if you make 200 kills, you will make it to table 2 atleast once, but the possibility of getting anything is still slim. In this example, the ring of wealth will actually take your 1 in 200 shot and reduce it, at a 10% boost, to 1 in 180. The only thing the wring does for you here is give you a better chance to get a second roll, but it doesnt make that second roll any better, only boosting the first roll.

Ring of Wealth Mechanics (UPDATED)[]

Seeing that this page is a bit outdated here is what Mod Timbo pointed out for RoW info.

Hey guys,

The Ring of Wealth has been a pretty controversial and hot topic of conversation across the RuneScape community for many, many years. With loads of different theories, conspiracies and misconceptions about what the ring does, how it interacts with drops and with what you can use it with - it's time to clarify it once and for all. I will only be talking about how it effects drops from monsters in terms of PvM - the effects of it in skilling is pretty well known by now and doesn't require explanation (but feel free to say otherwise and could update it in future).

I posted about it before in this forum but I'll briefly run through how the Ring of Wealth works in terms of drops.

The loot system in RuneScape is a random roll of a certain number, for example 100, and depending on what number you "roll" when the monster dies depends on what loot you get from it. Typically, all of the good or rare loot in this example would require you to roll a 1 out of 100. What the Ring of Wealth does is to decrease the roll number so that you have a better chance of getting the good stuff. For example, it would decrease the roll from 100 to 90 meaning that you have a 1/90 chance at rare stuff instead of 1/100.

There are two different scenarios that the Ring of Wealth does this, it is either only on specific rare drops or it is for the entire drop table where the rare drops are on 1/2/3/4/5 rolls. So for some real examples of this:

The chance of getting an Abyssal Whip is 1/1024 but with a Ring of Wealth it is 1/1017 and none of the regular drops are affected.The bodyguards at Armadyl God Wars (Flockleader Geerin, Flight Kilisa and Wingman Skree) have a 1/128 chance to have another chance at the rare items from Kree'arra. With the Ring of Wealth equipped, this then becomes a 1/127 chance but it also reduces the chance at 1,000-2,000 coins because it decreased the whole drop table and not just the rare items.

For this reason, I'll be splitting the list of monsters effected by the Ring of Wealth into two: one that only has its rare drops effected by the Ring of Wealth and another that has its entire drop table effected as a result of wearing the ring.

Only rare drops effected

Skeletal Horror - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion pieceCave Horror - Increased chance at a Black MaskMutated Jadinko Male - Increased chance at a Crystal Triskelion piece and Vine WhipTormented Demons - Increased chance at obtaining Dragon Platebody clumpsDark Beast - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion piece and Dark BowAquanite - Increased chance at obtaining an Amulet of RangingGlacor - Increased chance at obtaining Glaiven, Steadfast or Ragefire BootsAutomatons - Increased chance at Cresbot pet and Pneumatic, Static or Tracking GlovesTormented Wraith - Increase chance at obtaining Holy ElixirMithril Dragon - Increased chance at obtaining a Dragon Full HelmLegio bosses - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion pieceDust Devil - Increased chance at obtaining a Dragon ChainbodySkeletal Wyvern - Increased chance at obtaining Granite LegsStrykewyrms - Increase chance at all rare drops (Focus Sight, Hexcrest and Staff of Light)Ice Strykewyrm - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion pieceGanodemic Beast - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion pieceRare Drop Table (Super) - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion pieceAbyssal Demon - Increased chance at obtaining a Crystal Triskelion piece, Abyssal Wand/Orb or Abyssal WhipGargoyle - Increased chance at obtaining a Granite MaulNechryael - Increased chance at obtaining Rune Boots

Whole drop table effected

Daggannoth Kings - Increased chance at Dragon HatchetGWD Bosses - Increased chance at each bosses respective rare loot (doesn't work with WE2 abilities or warpriest pieces)GWD Bodyguards - Increased chance at each bosses respective rare loot (doesn't work with WE2 abilities or warpriest pieces)Spiritual Mages - Increased chance at Dragon BootsChaos Elemental - Increased chance at Dragon 2h SwordExiled and normal Kalphite Queens - Increased chance at Dragon ChainbodyKalphite King - Increased chance at Drygore weaponryExiled Soldier and Guardian - Have no rare drops but RoW does affect drop tablesTormented Demons - Increased chance at Dragon Claws and Dragon LimbsCorporeal Beast - Increased chance at a sigil dropNex - Increased chance at all rare dropsRare Drop Table (Gem Table) - Increase chance at Dragonstones and chance to get on to rarer RDT items

I hope all of that made sense and those people who are interested in drops, the Ring of Wealth etc find it useful. If there's any questions or comments, let me know here or feel free to ask on @JagexTimbo on Twitter."

It isn't outdated. In fact, wee already have this exact source cited in the article. MolMan 05:30, November 4, 2015 (UTC)

My bad for not noticing. Also, I did see your latest edit but I don't think it "removes certain items from the drop table". Don't rare drops get rolled separately from common drops? Well if RoW removes other drops from the table, then low priced unique drops like Abyssal Whips are going to make the overall average drop table worse (since all other Abyssal Demon drops are worth barely half a whip) right?

RoW does not improve clue scroll loot[]

A few rumors came to my attention recently, claiming Ring of Wealth will improve clue scroll loot. I went ahead and asked Mod Timbo directly, and here is the answer I recieved: "Had to double check so its a little late but RoW doesn't have any effect on the clue loot at all."

Problem with Nightmare Creatures Tier[]

Nightmare creatures are said to fall into tier 2 according to this page. However the Luck page (http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Luck) shows them as part of tier 3 (see Drops and Rewards Affected by Luck). Which is correct?

TheMaskedMinx (talk) 20:17, April 6, 2017 (UTC)

Does it have the effect of lower tiers?[]

The article currently says "The ring works as both a tier 1 and 2 luck item." This seems to contradict the news release: "Luck-enhancing items now fall on one of four tiers. Tiers 1-3 affect content specific to certain level ranges. Tier 4 affects content of all levels, along with some extra benefits of its own." Which of these is true?76.119.49.104 22:27, July 1, 2017 (UTC)
