How many rubies for an Ivandyr's Hoop?
 
As the subject implies, about how many rubies are people finding it takes for an Ivandyr's Hoop off of Lynuga? I'm debating if I want to invest in rubies or buy a hoop outright. There should be plenty of infor on this since so many midnight mallets are purchased.

Completely random. Any number someone gives you is just a random number they have come up with. Ive known so people get hoop on first ruby and some take 20 rubies.

Are you in a guild that makes mallets regularly? I know I have seen officers offer (internally) a hoop for 10 rubies since they occasionally get a hoop while making mallets.

Ivandyr's Hoop
This item has caused an inbalance in the raid game, and as such we have made some changes. In addition to a global resist increase to all lifetap spells, Ivandyr's Hoop has had it's rarity slightly increased, it has had it's merchant value removed (it can not be sold or recharged to merchants), and it will be disabled in Veeshan's Peak. We will evaluate if further changes need to be made.

wtf?

Why on earth would they need to go this heavy-handed?

If people are hooping the shit out of 32k hp mobs, can't they just address the hoop itself rather than globally fuck necros?

I'm curious if you can tell me what warranted such a change and if it still exists today.

That patch went in almost 2 years ago (Sept. 2011)

The hooping of most raid bosses, and it doesn't exist today because the hoop was nerfed. If it was unnerfed though usage of hoops would return because it is simply too easy.

Devs are of the opinion that the lifetaps are appropriately balanced versus raid bosses at this time.

To address the original point:

If Rubies are ~125p each, and the average price of the hoop is ~2500p, you'll break even at 20 turn-ins. If you sell the axe/mallets, you'll make out even better. But you'll have to deal with tracking down the turn-in troll when she is up and dealing with selling the lore axe/mallet.
