Request for sane, non-luck-based alternative to Defending Ring

[Gwydion]

Can we have an item that is perhaps an upgrade to the long-standing defending ring?

Thank you.

If there's a alternative then nobody would be bothered with log in campaign anymore, less income for SE since some ppl paid for mules just for log in points.

I vote no.

I vote no.your reasoning is because of the login campaign and mule count...?

The issue I see is that adding a second ring isnt going to stop people from trying to get the first. If the one they added was an upgrade, say 15%, you will just have people wearing both rings for 25%

You can easily cap PDT- with a 15% ring though, making D ring a lot less attractive. Atm it's not very easy to cap PDT- without a Dring, so everyone would toss gil/points to get one.

I don't understand why's mule count/extra income not a good reason, if SE makes money, more resource goes into this game and vice versa.

and with that logic, lets just jack mule prices up to $2 a piece and increase the base cost to $15

I just wish they would do away with this shared drop slot nonsense. Then again I'm clearly biased as it would make treasure hunter more useful.

[Zekander]

Why does it even have to be an upgrade? Why not just another 10% ring obtained from a different source? That seems more reasonable to ask for then for a ring that's even stronger then one people are willing to pay tens of millions of gil and/or significant amounts of rl money for.

more than likely the only way se would give something again like the Dring would probably be a set item somthing like ring1: +50hp ring2:def +25 set effect: Dt-15, wich would still give Dring a use for flexablity but the combo would be stronger for purely lowering incoming dmg.

I just spent 4000 login points on 23 characters for a total of 92 beastly shanks, which resulted in 18 savory shanks.

I am currently 0/51 for d.ring. :/

This is stupid. I don't even consider d.ring farming to be content.

Mule/sub fee increase hurts everyone though, most ppl won't accept it. No company in the mind would to that to a 12 year old MMO. Now it's kinda "if you want more chance for a Dring you gonna pay more".

I know it worked cuz I know some ppl did paid for mules just for shanks, and it's pretty much the only item that's worth getting with points atm if you're not a returning player.

The sane, non luck-based alternative to d.ring is.. drumroll.. playing the game with less DT-.

You aren't owed every drop in the game, or an equivalent. It's completely attainable right now, it's just tedious for some people.

[Jeanna]

Not sure about an alternative (if you wanted to be objective you could argue that dark rings ARE the alternative), but more than one ??? for behe/kb pops would be lovely.

Get a 6/6/6 dark ring. Bam you get almost as much pdt, capping mdt is easy enough anyways and thanks to the weirdness that is augments you actually get more bdt than dring

[dasva]

I know people who were 0/250~ on both the Ebisu KIs btw, and those fish take a while to catch or gil to buy..
I think the record from back in the was around 1800 per fish so yeah it can get really crazy. Plus at least Dring is still useful Ebisu is mostly a trophy item since they nerfed fishing so hard

[Comeatmebro]

i'd take a pair of enemy critrate-3/pdt-6/bdt-6 dark rings over defending anyday, good luck finding that though
