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
A few other things to look out for on your quest which can help: -anything that generates health or shielding (character abilities, wand of transition, wand of living earth) -anything that can increase your evasion (stone of augmentation on armor, ring of evasion) -anything that puts distance between you and enemies (ring of haste, wand of blast) -anything that negates damage (ring of elements, potion of arcane armor, potion of earthen armor) -shields (but they can only take you so far since they don't hit hard) don't over-invest -artifacts that let you escape bad scenarios (cloak, chains, hourglass) -potions/scrolls that let you escape bad scenarios -ring of wealth (this one sounds like it wouldn't help that much but when you can't heal, having extra scrolls/potions can really be a big boost -there's other strategies as well, but a glyph of stone can actually be incredibly powerful with the right combo of augmentation and supporting rings (evasion, arcana) you can tank any physical damage with this combo or if you find A ring of elements or glyph of magic, you can also tank magic damage
