OOOHH a whole 2 points! and mana 25?? yeah ok like ANYONE high enough to help get this ring actually uses spells that that extra 25 whole mana would help and a whole 25 hps will keep them alive too when mobs their lvl are hitting for 80+...alot of items in this game just dont match the mob that drops them...example drolvarg mantle off the captain in KC ahahha its a newbie item! it sucks so bad! good for someone like 25 to 35 range but come on a lvl 50 player using that crap??
from level 50 to around 57, a 5 int ring gives 25 mana. at 60 it gives 30 mana. This assumes that at level 50 you have 200 int or wisdom, which at that level, you should.
So this ring at level 50 is worth 35 mana. Better than a velium star rose quartz ring. This ring doesn't get attractive until you really start counting your mana pennies. Sure 35 mana on Coldain skin boots or gloves isn't much, but it all adds up. Having an extra 400 mana over what you get from int or wisdome items is the differance between getting that least heal/nuke/mez off and a wipe.
I wear this ring on my necro. Will I replace it? Sure. But until I get a roll on something really nice, it'll do. I'm at 220int already so the extra 25 mana means more to me than 3 more int. And something that those of you at the lower lvl's may not realize, most 50+ chars aren't the loot whores you think we are. I just plundered Old Seb with a couple of friends last saturday. We camped the seb entrance for 8 hours. And while the exp was pretty good, we maybe cleared 4.5kpp total, split three ways. Less 400pp in C3's, and another 150pp in Peridots, the list goes on. So at the end of that camp I put no cash in the bank to speak of. and I have a slime coated harpoon that I'm still trying to get rid of. So no this ring isn't the sh*t, but it'll do the job til I get a raid drop, 'cause this Necro doesn't have the 40kpp to buy one.
But hey what do I know.......
OK update, as of hitting lvl 56, and now 57th, I am quite the loot *****. Sorry for the confusion
Actually, there's some quest items that have incredible stats or effects. One that I have now has 2 charges of a level 60 necro/cleric spell.
But as for the NONE thing, its probably just a data entry error. Someone forgot to put 255 in the "class" slot in the item database instead of the default 0 or something like that.
This would be a nice ring for those that are maxed int or wis (or almost) and are looking for hp/mana and resist gear.
Really, if you think about this, Verant has put stats on VERY few quest items. The ones that DO have stats are epic items, or were added as quest items after they already dropped normally as regular items. For example, Soul Leech in Plane of Fear -- quest item, has stats, but it's epic only. I'm guessing that this is a typo -- you make them al the tme youeself. Get what I mena?
So to get tot he point, everyone makes teh typos.
(Insert laughter here)
btw, I'm level 53 now, not 49, I just can't remember how to change my siggy.
I got this ring a few days ago in VL. It dropped off "a Frenzied Velium Stalker" which conned yellow to a 49/50 cleric. Head GM said it was probably a bug and to /bug it so I did. Hopefully it will get changed in an upcoming patch and I can wear it.
