A Ring of wealth is a piece of enchanted jewellery that can be made by casting the spell Enchant Level 5 Jewellery, which requires level 68 Magic to cast, on a Dragonstone ring. The ring of wealth increases the chance of its wearer getting rare or good item drops from monster drops.
While Jagex does not often give out details, it was stated in one issue of the God Letters called Guthix Ponders[1] that monster drops are determined by a random spin on a "wheel". When you kill a monster, it rolls the first "wheel." If it lands on "rare item," it rolls another wheel that determines what rare item it will be. The Ring of wealth increases the chance of getting a better (more valuable) rare. For example, if 2 rare drops for a monster are Bronze platebody and Steel sword and the Ring of wealth is equipped, the player will have a slightly higher chance of receiving the Steel sword.
[edit] Trivia
- The Ring of wealth does not affect Treasure Trail and Barrows rewards. It also does not affect clue scrolls, PvP drops and Champions Challenges.
- The Ring of Wealth does NOT affect the drop rate of the Draconic visage, as it is a "bonus" drop that can be received with another of the monster's "regular" drops.
- The Ring of Wealth does not affect drops while LootShare is enabled[2].
- A ring of wealth increases the chance of getting a head from a slayer monster. [Source?]
- Mod MMG made the following statement during the Live Q & A "No account is 'luckier' than any other account, its all about random probability. Naturally certain items like Ring of wealth increase your probability of a good drop."
- According to Mod Mark, (lead content designer) Jagex will reveal the background mechanics of the Ring of Wealth on the Knowledge base in the near future. [3]
- Many people think that wearing the Ring of Wealth will decrease your chances of getting a rare item. This, however, is not true.
