under normal circumstances i hardly start new threads, but now i'm obsessed! i want to get this damn ring as fast as possible with every character i create, and it doesn't want to appear. so - somebody - please answer my questions, cooperate!;)

1. is it possible to start the game with a RoW (hurthlings, ring merchants)? i tried several times, but it doesn't work.
2. how high is this ring's danger level (1, low, high, ridiculous)?
3. is the possibility of getting a pool wish influenced by your luck? if yes, is the birthsday luck boost high related to possession of fate smiles/lucky insts?
4. any other ideas?:)
5. please?:)))

2. Extra low. Maybe even 1. No way to tell exactly, anyway. My point is, i found a RoW with a thief (found, not steal) in VD:5.

Haha...You'll come across about 5 RoW once you get to I120 or so...

The birthday luck boost is lucky+fate smiles.
Pools are supposed to work better if they're the same color as your character's eyes.

:) "once you get to I120"
too boring for me, was there once, don't need more. but maybe, maybe...;)
what you are saying about pools is interesting. didn't know that the pool color influences not only the display.

thanks for info, ppl. you're encouraged to write more:)

I thought that was only a myth, has anyone tested this in any way?

I'm assuming that RoW is Ring of Weakness.

Yea, pool and eye color thing is probably a myth -_-'
But I got triple wishes from a matching pool, so that's good enough for me ^^

That's not too bad...being doomed shouldn't be much of a problem once you find an aligned altar.

Did you get anything else from the pools?

-1 toughness, to be honest:). and i think i lost some resistances... (not sure). dooming ain't a real trouble because i'm wearing the ankh and i am not cursed, so i'm still very lucky. ahhh, and there was a lot of water snakes:)

killing myself is quite likely since i'm playing a mindcrafter. still, i hope i'll get the ring before:) that ~+80 bonus to at least 4-5 stats is too tempting...

well, that appears easy - i just need the row. i have some PoEx (one or two cursed, which is v. nice since they swap *six* stats). imagine a mindcrafter with Wi: 99, that's gonna be cool! fuck! arggh!

d666: one way of getting rid of doomed is reading a (non-cursed) scroll of luck. IIRC at least in 1.0.0 it can rid PC of those bad states, though I haven't made any extensive research.

realj: who said that when i'm doomed i want to get rid of it? i prefer to take advantage of the cursed/doomed status before removing it (more encounters, more weapon marks, higher danger levels - other effects don't really matter as i'm almost always wearing ankh). however, that doomed character transformed into a hiscore entry, so there's no prob;) [YASD, really stupid - ran into a tension room knowing it's filled with werewolf lords].

RoW in the casino? not that likely, i guess. i always buy all rings from the shoppe and don't remember any RoWs appearing there. however, if i used the infinite restock method, it would be quite likely to happen:).

Ive found quite a lot of RoWs digging "Great Treasures" graves, the only problem is the lich lords, but they are actually really easy for mindcrafters (i know it sounds stupid) because they are virtually immune to the damn confusion

Edit: incase you misunderstood it's because the mindcrafter is immune to the lichs confusion that makes it easy, not the other way round :p

heh. lich kings are easy for any sort of charaacter as fast as you get to level 16-18 or more. tx for the advice, i'll try digging some graves;) [that may be harmful since i'm playing a fgeh and it's a champ of balance, but let's try].

FWIW, If you're doomed, you cannot get a wish from a pool.

RoW is Danger level 10.
