I'm still trying to be optimistic.... I am hoping I'll get one very soon and I'll be back on here gloating that I have a RoLS. I don't even know why I want one. I hear that they are not much better than the +6 ring. But it is a challenge!!

I have just stepped up my assult on the RoLS. I go through the gargoyal cave killing all T&M's except for the last one guarding the altar. At this point I save the game, then kill the master, reload and kill for the next 3mins. I then leave that room, kill all M&T's on the way to the small room. Kill the trainer and save before killing the master. Kill and reload for the next 3 mins before heading back up to the altar room killing all in my way to repeat the process.
I'm not going insane.....
I think after you have killed 10000 M&T's, I think you should just receive a RoLS for all that hard work. This should go for all extraordinary items.

Hey, that's a great idea! I definitely second that motion, and "third" it, too. I am entitled to third the motion because I have killed 30,000 of these monsters without getting even one ring. I quit at 7501 small rocks (the extra one came from one of the guys I killed clearing the rooms as I was leaving.) I have been slaughtering wyrm trainers and apprentices instead. I may not come back to the gargoyle cave until I have invested a bunch of skill points in improving my odds considerably.
Strangely, it made the grinding much less tedious to be making progress toward that goal of 7500 small rocks--even though it was a goal I did not want to reach--than to be hoping for the ring. Thinking of it as leveling up, with maybe finding a ring (as advised by several people for reducing tedium) did nothing for me, perhaps because because I have not been that eager to increase my level. But aiming for a specific number of rocks, and constantly getting closer to that goal worked for me. I was quite surprised at the difference it made. Those of you still grinding here might want to try it.
Congrats to all who have gotten their rings, and/or other extraordinary items!

I do believe that you must have a 9999 sided dice in your phone (or whatever you play on). Missing that all important side. I'm hoping no, praying that my phone is not broken.

If you got 7500 rocks without getting a RoLS that equals a probability of 0.9999 ^ 75000 = 0.06 %.
This means 99.94 % of the average players would have gotten one or more RoLS at this number of rocks.
However there could be a lucky player gaining 75000 RoLS at this point.
However wish you all the best for your hunt. I bet you will get a RoLS before you get 15000 rocks.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the ring has rejuvenation in addition to the stat bonuses. Pretty nice that you get 1 HP just standing around for 3-4 seconds. Granted, most of us have 50-100 bonemeal potions anyways, but still.
was rejuvenation recently added or was it always there?

By the way, it's 6 seconds not 4.
Regeneration was added in last release.

been looking for the ring since lvl 17. lvl 23 atm. no where near the time most of yeah spent looking for it. But at least it gives me something to do when there isnt anything to do. I thought buying 60 bonemeal pots and 60 meats and 40 cooked meats would help me find it. But my char build I barely use em. I get them reg pot of health now 38. GL to all
