If Goblin Ring wasn't rare, higher level druids with track would have gotten good at the camp and min/maxed it for quick cash,

That's not how this camp work, track is of minimal help. Classes like mage is probably the best for the double spawn.

There are a tonne of spawn points where the courier can pop. Just because a courier is up and you kill it doesn't mean the respawn will happen at a point you are familiar with.

No but if it is a courier you know 100% he's on the courier cycle so technically the next repop after 30 sec on top of track is on the cycle. You can hunt that guy down until you find his spawn point.

mobs will attack you for 10 mins before they get bored, so if you need a pee break, take the PHers you have identified to a quiet corner, give them a bonk to reset their aggression timer, make sure your pet and DS is down and enjoy your quick break.

That's why I said risk. I've done it with root but you risk having a goblin KS you and lose your ph. Or have another mob of the same type aggro and and mix them up and lose your timer. Single spawns aren't too hard to restart but getting the double going can be tricky.

It honestly doesn't matter which class is best, that class would have figured out the optimal strategy for Goblin Ring in the past 10 years and flooded the market with Goblin Rings. That's how players on P99 work for all good items. Clearly that didn't happen, which means the Ring is rare.

OP is a druid, so if the camp isn't great for a Druid, they also are probably not getting the Ring.

I am not sure why people keep trying to claim getting Goblin Ring is going to be easy to get. The price data shows otherwise. If the item was easy to get, the price would have dropped by now like most items.

I am curious to know why other people think Goblin Ring prices have remained mostly the same for 9 years on Blue and 4 years on Green if it isn't a supply issue.

The OP has the plat to buy one now, just isn’t sure if they should. I’d rank ease of acquisition at 1/10.

The camp sucks. The ring trivializes leveling any charm class. People have more alts who “demand” a tool to level with than there is “supply”.

If you are a p99 tryhard you will have a need for at least one if not four rings while you level up. You might not sell these as they still serve some purpose at 60. If you are an uber nerd you might level up another enchanter, bard, etc. This lets you cover more raid locations with a class you like to play. Or lets you go farm while keeping your main parked. I.E. you need more rings.

Few items have an immediate result of making a class much easier to level. This is at least as helpful as a fungi is for all who can wear it but 1/5th the cost. If you see one for sale you don’t haggle…you are just glad you don’t have to rot your life away in LoIO.

You do realize Fungi Tunic also went down in price? I said this multiple times already. It went down 20-25k over the last 9 years, while Goblin Ring stayed about the same. Everyone wants multiple copies of Fungi Tunic too, and 10 classes can use it. Goblin Ring is used by 4 classes at best.

By your logic Fungi Tunic shouldn't have gone down in price either. But it did, and Fungi Tunic needs high level toons to camp it. Goblin Ring can be soloed by a level 20.

If the camp sucks, then why would OP want to do it? A sucky camp does affect drop rate. If the camp is so bad that nobody has mastered it in the last 10 years, that is a factor you need to consider when camping Goblin Ring when it comes to drop rates.

Like always I think you cherry picked my post for one thing you disagreed with and hung my entire argument on that point. The Fungi king is much more farmed than a silly ring in LoIO because one is a cash cow and kind of fun while the other is the opposite.

People need rings on alts. It works at level 5. Pretty easy to understand.

lmao ya ok bub

It’s more helpful for cloth wearers who can’t equip them. Even a charm class 50+ isn’t going to get the same benefit for 15hp regen as an instant charm break.

JFC, it was an analogy.

People need all sorts of items on low level alts. Goblin Ring isn't special in that regard. Those items went down in price, Goblin Ring didn't. Why? Rarity. Goblin Ring has lower supply.

You are totally right. That’s why the Glowing Black Stone is still worth 20k on blue in 2025. Oh wait.

You sure that ring and the bracer of the hidden don’t have some benefit that outweighs a few stats? Jboots are still worth a pretty penny. I have no idea what all these things in common.

You're either fighting windmills or moving the goalposts, I don't think anyone said this? The killing is easy but it's 3-4% drop rate at an average of like 3 couriers per hour at the double spawn IIRC so of course it's rare. We also all explained to you that the camp sucks ass, which should also greatly contribute to rarity.

Never hurts to try especially if you're getting decent exp.
