TOPIC: Ultra Rare Combo Item - Supreme Ring of Elemental Command

The new rolling two-year availability for PYPs means that you could get the Air ring with a 2011 order. Though, that does mean that you can't select one of the 2011 URs which by current indications are awesome.

Don't worry, just make some noise on here or shill/lobby/e-mail/phone campaign and you can just get the rings you want reprinted in a couple of years when you feel like it.<br />Just say you weren't around earlier and that it isn't fair that someone has something you can't get anymore.<br />

It seems there are those who are not to impressed with this ring.  They do not think it is worth the value of the items redeemed.  I cannot say I entirely disagree.  Yes, it gives you the defense of all four rings, but only the revenge damage of one ring, even if it is a special damage type.  Very few monsters use more than one damage type, and a player could wear up to three (with HoG) of the EC rings if needed, and almost certainly get better revenge damage.  It would require giving up both ring slots and your amulet slot.  Or one could simply switch between rings.<br /><br />So what would people here say to this<br /><br />Supreme Ring of Elemental Command - Reduces acid, cold, electrical, fire and sonic attacks by 5 points of damage, and it does 3 points of "eldritch" (divine druid magic) damage to a monster that hits the character with a melee attack.  Eldritch magic is very rare and ancient form of magic lost to the ages, and only very ancient elder magic can conjure it.  There is no known resistance magic for its effects.<br /><br />Would giving it one more revenge damage than the 'normal' rings and resistance to the missing elemental type make it more worthwhile/palatable?  Would it make it horribly broken?

<br /><br />Sure until thirty other people whine even more about how it's not fair to them to have an item reprinted.

<br />No, I think he means one each of the trade item tokens (Steel, hide, bismuth, oil, plank, parchment, aragonite, and any I come up with between now and when you can trade for it...)<br /><br />Dave<br />

<br /><br />I am opposed to a monster trophy trade in to make this then.      How about using the older monster trophy's as substitiutions then?

Dave said he thought Jeff meant the trade items, not monster trophies.

<br /><br />But Dave was also talking about a monster trophy trade item, I believe that is the source of ares71's objection.

<br /><br />Correct, as it would include all new trade items created, it would require a trade-in of 25 monster trophy's if that trade item is created.

As it's been stated before no one is forcing anyone to trade anything in.  I think it's cool that the option is being presented.

I guess my question is... it sounds like the 'Eldritch Rod' isn't going to include all of the various benefits of the component pieces. Will it?<br /><br />If not, can we use the rod as a whole, and also have all seven parts separately?
Blimey!

I think we know we have freedom of choice Kim...the point really is...<br /><br />Were we INFORMED (timely and properly) to make educated purchases or trades?<br /><br />With only 3-4 2010 buys left, some people made a quick choice to get a RoFEc...how do you think the people that find out about this tomorrow will feel?<br /><br />What about those that bought in 2009 not knowing the Supreme Ring would pair with the Ro7P and require that the UR be traded in?  (remember NEVER before has a UR been traded in for a SET POWER)<br /><br />Surprises are usually good at birthday parties, but not when folks are shelling out some fairly serious cash for SETS, or items that they think will remain at X power level, only to find out WHOO HOO, it now can do this if only you want to part with it.  It kinda feels like a "bait and switch" only I know that is not the intent.  IT IS ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN AFTER ALL.  But then I am reminded - it is not without a financial price tag...
