The disagreement in this thread isn't really about ring of stealthy travel vs goblin ring. Here's a quick summary:
* OP asks for some advice on rolling a druid "doing as much charm killing as I can", including a question about gear at the end.
* Loramin proposes spending the entire budget on a goblin ring. Several people advocate instead for buying HP/AC/Mana gear, including myself, Toxigen, and DSM.
* There's broad consensus that the goblin ring is very good.
* Toxigen and I say that it isn't necessary, as we've both charmed our way to 60 without one. No one else really agrees with us. Toxigen's position is that it's no more than a minor QoL improvement. My position is that if you can afford one you should get one, but if you can't afford one you'll do just fine charming all the way to 60 on a druid.
* DSM says the best part of the goblin ring is the mana savings from not having to cast IvA, plus saving a spell gem.
* Everyone else points out that spell slots aren't a huge constraint for druids (but is still a nice perk), and DSM drops it.
* Everyone else says that the best part of the goblin ring is the instant cast. DSM disagrees vociferously and then the next 40 pages happen as a result.
The ring of stealthy travel isn't relevant because you can't use it till level 49 and this thread is in the context of leveling a charming druid. My opinion is that by the time someone is close to 50 they'll have had enough experience to make their own choice.

It's strange that you think level 50-60 isn't relevant to a leveling thread. I think level 50-60 is leveling, so ROST is 100% relevant to the conversation. Leveling from 50-60 also takes a lot of time. It's isn't as easy as leveling from 1-40.
Your summary isn't very good. For one, it leaves out the important detail as to why I am disagreeing, and why this thread is 40 pages.
Do posts like this ring a bell?

There's no way to win in a conversation with DSM. He will drag you down to his level of disengenuity, and then beat you with experience.

The only thing that video proves is that DSM's enchanter is still level 30.

This thread wouldn't be 40 pages if posters like yourself and Loramin would stick to the topic and avoid these kinds of silly posts. They don't help your positions, and they don't help OP. They don't make me look bad, or you look good.

I prefere inlaid jade hoop since it is 11k cheaper and a signet of service. ROST is on the farm list but it is at the bottom.
If someone says they prefere the ROST over GGR because they find it convenient and they like the stats even if it is a bit less efficient I'm 100% cool with that. If you want to claim there's zero difference between insta cast and 2 seconds cast on charm breaks we'll have to agree to disagree.

Inlaid Jade Hoop has a 1.5 second cast time. It sounds like you are doing fine without instant cast invis. If you have some evidence showing Goblin Ring as more efficient, I would love to see it, and I'd be happy to admit I am wrong.
Right now nobody seems to have this evidence. Based on my experience and the current lack of evidence, I am quite skeptical of the claim Goblin Ring is more efficient than ROST.
