Rare drop table

When slain, some monsters have the chance to give loot from the Rare Drop Table instead of loot from their own unique drop table. The Rare Drop Table is a set of the same items shared by many monsters ranging from chaos druids, to lesser demons, through to most Slayer monsters and the Kalphite queen. When a player is given the chance to get an item from the Rare Drop Table, there is also a chance that they will land on a 'blank spot', which will cause the monster to drop no item (besides their usual 100% drop such as bones). The Ring of wealth increases a player's chances of receiving an item from this table by removing some of those blank spots. Wearing a ring of wealth will not lower your chances of getting a normal drop. It only increases the chances of receiving an item from this table instead of nothing.

Note: If an item does not appear on the Rare Drop Table, then its chance to drop will not be affected by the Ring of Wealth. Items such as the abyssal whip are unique to a specific monster; therefore they are not on the Rare Drop Table and as such are not affected by the Ring of wealth. However, there are specific items shared by certain monsters (usually not more than 5) and not on the rare drop table (for instance, dragon platelegs). See the Ring of wealth article for a more in-depth explanation of this.

In issue 24 of the God letters, Guthix referred to the Rare Drop Table when explaining how the Ring of wealth worked:

"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."

Items known to be on the Rare Drop Table
Due to the nature of the way the Rare Drop Table is accessed, we can never be sure of what items are on the Rare Drop Table through recording drops. However, the following items have been confirmed by Jagex (through the Non-Combat Magic article on the Runescape Knowledge Base) to be on the Rare Drop Table. Wearing the Ring of wealth will likely increase your chance to get these items if the monster being killed drops them.

Resources

 * Uncut sapphire
 * Uncut emerald
 * Uncut ruby
 * Uncut diamond

Miscellaneous

 * Loop half of a key
 * Tooth half of a key

Armour/Equipment

 * "Dragon items, [and] certain rune items" (though specific items are not stated).

Items likely to be on the Rare Drop Table
In the Knowledge Base, Jagex also implies that there are many other items in addition to the ones that are confirmed. Though we can never be sure of what items are on the table, items that are repeatedly dropped by many different monsters that also drop the items in the previous list are likely to be. As with the confirmed items, wearing the Ring of wealth will likely increase your chance to get these items if the monster being killed drops items from the rare drop table.
