Ring of wealth

The ring of wealth is an enchanted dragonstone ring that, when worn, slightly increases the chances for certain unique drops and rewards that are affected by the luck mechanic. It is classified as a tier 2 luck enhancer, and will not affect chances for drops and rewards in other luck tiers. The ring can also hold four rechargeable teleports to Miscellania or the Varrock Grand Exchange.

The ring can be made by casting the spell Enchant Level 5 Jewellery (or using the appropriate Spell tablet) on a dragonstone ring, requiring level 68 Magic and giving 78 experience. A dragonstone ring can be made at 55 Crafting by combining a cut dragonstone and a gold bar at a furnace while holding a ring mould.

Rings of wealth are uncharged when first made. To charge the ring with four opportunities to teleport, it must be submerged in either the Fountain of Heroes beneath the Heroes' Guild, or the Tears of Seren in Prifddinas. Alternatively, the Geyser titan familiar may be used.

A luck potion provides the same luck enhancing effect as the ring for one hour, and a collector's insignia provides the effect but is worn in the pocket slot rather than the ring slot.

Teleports
Like all dragonstone jewellery, the ring can hold a maximum of four rechargeable teleports with each teleport using one charge. The number of charges remaining on a ring is displayed in parentheses at the end of the ring's name. A charged ring may teleport one to:
 * The Grand Exchange, by the southern entrance
 * The Miscellanian throne room (requires completion of the Throne of Miscellania quest)

The ring of wealth can teleport from up to level 30 Wilderness, as can all dragonstone jewellery.

Charging the ring
The ring can be charged by using it on the Fountain of Heroes below the Heroes' Guild or the Tears of Seren in Prifddinas, as is done with the amulet of glory. Accessing the Heroes' Guild requires completion of the Heroes' Quest, while accessing Prifddinas requires completion of Plague's End. When a ring (or amulet) is used on either fountain, all un-noted rings and amulets worn or in the inventory are recharged at once.

At level 89 Summoning, a geyser titan can also be used to recharge rings (and amulets) by using them on the familiar.

Fully charged rings are tradeable, allowing players who have not completed the Heroes' Quest to purchase pre-charged rings from other players on the Grand Exchange.

Abilities of the ring
According to various information from Jagex, and messages in the chatbox as shown above, the following can be ascertained:,

Monster drops:
 * The ring gives a tiny increase to the drop chance of certain unique items from bosses and Slayer monsters by removing certain items from the drop table.
 * For other unique items, it simply increases the drop chance without affecting the rest of the drop table.
 * The ring improves the drop chance of clue scrolls, both from monster drops and evil trees.
 * The ring increases the chance of obtaining level 4 clue scrolls from the Skeletal Horror and aquarium treasure chests, even though the chance is 1 already.
 * The ring allows the potential drop of a Vecna skull from the Rare drop table.
 * The ring improves uncut gem drop quality from the Rare drop table.

Minigames and D&Ds:
 * Barrows - improved items from the Barrows chest, excluding Barrows equipment.
 * Pyramid Plunder - better chances of receiving a Pharaoh's sceptre and jewelled golden statuettes.
 * Bork - guaranteed improvement to Bork's charm drops.
 * Shades of Mort'ton - better items when unlocking shade chests.

Other:
 * The ring of wealth does not affect drops from LootShare.
 * It increases the chance of finding gems while mining. When a charged amulet of glory is used alongside a ring of wealth, you may receive double gems or double ore.
 * When receiving a double drop with only one inventory space, the second item will be dropped on the floor. A message in the chatbox notifies the player.
 * It increases the chance of obtaining a clue scroll from pickpocketing.
 * It increases the chance of spawning a more powerful Edimmu.
 * It increases the chance of obtaining valuable rewards from the crystal chest.

Previous function

 * The ring of wealth has received many changes over the course of RuneScape; this section documents a historical version of its effects, and gives insight into the rare drop table.

Monster drops are determined by random chance from a table of items associated with the monster via a sort of rolling of the dice, with each of the items having a set probability. For many monsters, one of the "rolls" on the standard drop table is actually a trigger for a second "roll" on the rare drop table. This second table is the same across all monsters, and is separate from whatever table the original monster may possess.

When the player gets a "roll" on the rare drop table, they may receive a random item from it, such as an uncut gem, a half key, or a shield left half. However, this second table also contains many "empty" slots that, if rolled, results in no item. In such an event, nothing except the monster's 100% drops (eg. bones) and perhaps a summoning charm are received.

The ring of wealth previously reduced (not eliminated) the number of empty slots on the rare drop table, which increased the odds of receiving an item. This had no effect on the rate of triggering rolls on the rare drop table. In practicality, the ring had little benefit and was not commonly used, especially because it had no combat stats.

In issue 24 of the God letters, Guthix spoke about how a ring of wealth worked at the time:

Trivia

 * On 15 March 2011, an update to the ring of wealth caused a major bug where the effect of the ring would stack when multiple players in a clan used LootShare. This caused the Corporeal Beast, as well as many other bosses regularly hunted by clans, to generate "significantly more generous drops than usual": spirit sigils and other very rare items were received at a near 100% frequency. This bug was patched within 140 minutes of its release. Jagex later issued a statement of apology and revealed that there would be no rollback, causing many players to riot in-game and on the forums to demand rollbacks to fix the market prices.
 * With many slayer monsters such as spiritual mages and jungle strykewyrms, the ring of wealth used to display the "Your ring of wealth shines more brightly!" message after every kill. This was not a glitch; the ring always increased the chance of receiving the monster's unique drop, such as a hexcrest from Jungle strykewyrms or a black mask from Cave horrors. This was changed on 3 July 2013 so that the ring now only shines when a rare item is received.
 * If you have a clue scroll in the bank and the ring would have helped with a clue scroll drop, it will shine without appearing to do anything.
 * On 27 March 2017, combat stats were added to the ring as part of the luck rework.
