Glittering ring mobs in PoJ ?

This ring for the longest time was the bane of my existance. The amount of things you have to kill in the tunnels just to get a single Alkaline Etched Stone or Crystalized Cloudy Eye is insane. It seems that after a few patches the drop rate was reduced significantly. Luckily for me when PoP first came out, we had a party down there for many hours and got everything but one Eye for the ring. After one of the patches we never got another drop.

In the end I bought the last eye in auction for about 10k and made the ring about a month ago. Now, Akaline stones are going for like 25k on our server and the Eyes are no where to be seen. Considering that the availability of Metallic Liquid after last patch was increased zone wide, it would be nice that the materials for this ring would were also increased slightly in the small area where they drop.

As it stands now, I wouldn't be surprised if I was the only one on our server to have a ring like this and probably Den Mother and myself are but a handful over all.... that is how rare these things are.

I played around in the tunnels for 2 hours yesterday (4 person group) and came out with 3 alkaline stones and 1 cloudy eye. In 4 hours the day before we only got 1 cloudy eye and no stones. They don't seem all THAT rare.

Anyway, why would you pay 25k for an alkaline stone (and still need 3 more rare drops) when you can buy the valorium ring, which is probably a better ring anyway, already made for that price?

I don't think the drop rate is bad, it's just that no one hunts there whereas everyone was killing all the mobs that drop metallic liquid even before they started dropping it.

Wow.

I know there are at least 4 on mithaniel marr. Because that's how many I've made. And two of them are on my cleric bot. ;-P

BTW, has anyone ever seen a glittering ring drop from a factioned prisoner? Or do they only drop from the factionless ones?

The Valorium Ring of Gallentry is to the Glittering Ring of Justice what the Apple is to the Orange: no relation. Glittering Ring of Justice...well, for Clerics and Shamen mainly, this ring is either head and shoulders above anything else for this slot, or will allow them to trade in another piece of their gear for a lacking stat.

25kpp for any component is an outrage, however.

Glittering Ring of Judgement > Valor ring

The wis 20 is the awesome stat on this ring. With it, I can get my wis up to 345 right now, although I currently have the points only to get it to 320. SOON!

With the 20 wis alone on each ring, if you put AA points into PoP abilities, you can gain up to 150 mana for wearing these pretty things. Plus! the added 100hp is nice also.

Glittering rings >Valorium ...anyday.
