I would love this item to work from inventory as well. Unfortunately this is one of those things where dev looked at this nearly 9 years ago and made a decision 7 years ago. Most likely this won't change because it would take better evidence that surpasses what was already given as well as dev consent and willingness to action. If you read the whole thread posted earlier then you'll find the answer to attempts at this outcome even if it's not to the liking of those that could use the item.
You had to read between the lines a bit but here is relevant dev quotes:

03-11-2011, 02:21 PM It's enough information to make it droppable till its nerfed. So, that's fixed, pending update.
As far as ANYONE being able to click it? No. It would take undeniable proof for that to happen, as it creates a game balance issue with players hording the ability to bind affinity. That should be reserved for locket of escape, as its generally known.
DEF Sks though.. Fit right in with lore and comments.
03-12-2011, 02:08 PM You assume too much.
03-16-2011, 02:29 PM Comparable to locket?
Locket of Escape.. drops uncommonly, for a limited time.. from a rare spawn level 38 npc, at the bottom of a dungeon in Kunark.
Ring of the Dead.. was* questable, for a limited time, from a npc that is up 100% the time, and needs THEX MALLETS.
Additionally, everyone here knows that locket of escape could be used for bind affinity. That's.. the way it's always been.
Now I'm being asked for a Ring of the Dead, which I bet 99% of you didn't even know existed, to be equally as strong, recharged for 10gp, and will allow melee to bind anywhere a caster can, as long as they have 10gp and some faction, forever.
That.. is not comparable, and is the reason I asked for undeniable proof. Last edited by nilbog; 03-16-2011 at 02:33 PM..
03-16-2011, 04:09 PM Your post yielded to me nothing, other than you want to use Ring of the Dead.
You assume that I intended some gimping of a spawn? Elaborate, and more specifically, bug report.
Also, 10% to me is considered ultra rare. The % is higher than that. Last edited by nilbog; 03-16-2011 at 04:12 PM..
02-01-2013, 09:42 AM So according to the Treats link:

12/7/99
The ring is no longer being given out. The reaper is the only reward;
additionally, the rings that were already in the game have been made nodrop.Sorry...
(nilbog)I assume the no drop change would have been made with the removal of the quest. Then, people try for months to get it.. later to be told by Abashi that it was removed. So likely it was made unobtainable in 12/99 as well as no drop.

(nilbog)Quest is already written and functioning for multiquest support.
02-01-2013, 04:01 PM Pending update,
Ring of the Dead will be no drop if Airplane is released (01/00). (Both servers)
