This was my first real ring of wealth run and I think I went a little overboard. I got a seed that had a cursed +2 ring of wealth on floor 1. I knew right then and there what I had to do... I died a horrible death to a flaming crab champion (9 challenges) on floor 3 and cried.
Then I remembered that I could use the seed and just do the run for pure enjoyment. It was a blast!
I had a +4 ring by floor 2 which was kind of crazy. All scrolls went into that! I eventually found another +2 ROW and together with my +17 I was able to farm some +10 items and was eventually able to get another +10 ring. Transmuted that into Arcana and used the multiplicity curse on myself to spawn thousands of succubi... I tanked their hits with my greatshield while they fell to their gruesome deaths below. Lots of fun! 10/10 stars!
Seed: SJF-KWH-NPJ I'm on 2.1.4 though so it may not work for beta
It in fact guarantees special equipment drops with upgrades every so many enemies. The number of upgrades on the ring is related to the number of upgrades on the drop but it's not 1-to-1 though. The minimum drop level is (1+upgrades)/2 so at +5, you start getting+3 special equipment drops
Incredible! Thanks!
