add one invis vs. animals in there at 30 mana and that's what you're gaining from the ring. virtually nothing, because if you're running out of mana more than once in a blue moon while charming you're doing something wrong.

If you've never charm soloed with/without the ring then I could understand why you'd have such a hard time appreciating a stupid invis vs. animals ring ... but if you tried both ways then you'd know what a difference the ring makes.

Charm soloing is fastest if you are a min/maxer and sadly almost everyone is, but outside kedge (which most druids should avoid like the plague cause its too dangerous for the average player) and perma bear pits the exp differential between charming and other methods of killing is over stated.

Over stated how? When I charm, I get XP faster (a little less than double) than when I rot. That's a fact, based on my experience soloing places like East Karana from levels 14-24 (
not soloing Kedge).

I'm not saying you shouldn't buy one. I'm saying you should buy the other basic gear first.

Can you really say that
anything is better than something you've never tried? You should actually try soloing with/without the ring at low levels before claiming it's better/worse than anything else.

You could completely equip the toon for that 5k, enabling him to use all the tools in your arsenal, or you could buy one item and wear cloth armor for the same price. It's just not logical to blow your whole bank on the one item.

Daldaen's already explained this much better, but I'll try again. Adding gear just ups your max mana/HP. It doesn't increase how fast you recover HP or mana, and it doesn't make you do more damage: all it does is make you a bit safer.
But the ring actually speeds up the rate at which you kill things. Unlike a mountain of gear, it actually gets you more XP, faster (when soloing; when grouping gear doesn't really speed up XP gain).
So it's really very simple: a single item that gets you more XP is better than a pile of items that don't get you more XP.
