If Goblin Ring wasn't rare, higher level druids with track would have gotten good at the camp and min/maxed it for quick cash,

That's not how this camp work, track is of minimal help. Classes like mage is probably the best for the double spawn.

There are a tonne of spawn points where the courier can pop. Just because a courier is up and you kill it doesn't mean the respawn will happen at a point you are familiar with.

No but if it is a courier you know 100% he's on the courier cycle so technically the next repop after 30 sec on top of track is on the cycle. You can hunt that guy down until you find his spawn point.

mobs will attack you for 10 mins before they get bored, so if you need a pee break, take the PHers you have identified to a quiet corner, give them a bonk to reset their aggression timer, make sure your pet and DS is down and enjoy your quick break.

That's why I said risk. I've done it with root but you risk having a goblin KS you and lose your ph. Or have another mob of the same type aggro and and mix them up and lose your timer. Single spawns aren't too hard to restart but getting the double going can be tricky.

I'm finding it a fun, entertaining and informative discussion [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Definitely we need to consider beyond the needs of OP, but the hundreds and hundreds of other potential druid newbs which will stumble upon this 18 page discussion and want to make an educated decision(!)

Outside pushing the goblin gazughi ring there is very little here to benefit a new or seasoned player. It’s just a bunch of philosophers arguing over what to do in the late 40’s.

If we can’t stay on topic and help people in the Starting Zone section I’m not sure what we are accomplishing but stroking our egos. Have fun nerds, I’ll argue with you another day in the Classes section. Let me know who wins between Loramin and DSM [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

at least new players can see what ultimately happens after too much time here

It honestly doesn't matter which class is best, that class would have figured out the optimal strategy for Goblin Ring in the past 10 years and flooded the market with Goblin Rings. That's how players on P99 work for all good items. Clearly that didn't happen, which means the Ring is rare.

OP is a druid, so if the camp isn't great for a Druid, they also are probably not getting the Ring.

I am not sure why people keep trying to claim getting Goblin Ring is going to be easy to get. The price data shows otherwise. If the item was easy to get, the price would have dropped by now like most items.

I am curious to know why other people think Goblin Ring prices have remained mostly the same for 9 years on Blue and 4 years on Green if it isn't a supply issue.

The OP has the plat to buy one now, just isn’t sure if they should. I’d rank ease of acquisition at 1/10.

The camp sucks. The ring trivializes leveling any charm class. People have more alts who “demand” a tool to level with than there is “supply”.

If you are a p99 tryhard you will have a need for at least one if not four rings while you level up. You might not sell these as they still serve some purpose at 60. If you are an uber nerd you might level up another enchanter, bard, etc. This lets you cover more raid locations with a class you like to play. Or lets you go farm while keeping your main parked. I.E. you need more rings.

Few items have an immediate result of making a class much easier to level. This is at least as helpful as a fungi is for all who can wear it but 1/5th the cost. If you see one for sale you don’t haggle…you are just glad you don’t have to rot your life away in LoIO.

You do realize Fungi Tunic also went down in price? I said this multiple times already. It went down 20-25k over the last 9 years, while Goblin Ring stayed about the same. Everyone wants multiple copies of Fungi Tunic too, and 10 classes can use it. Goblin Ring is used by 4 classes at best.

By your logic Fungi Tunic shouldn't have gone down in price either. But it did, and Fungi Tunic needs high level toons to camp it. Goblin Ring can be soloed by a level 20.

If the camp sucks, then why would OP want to do it? A sucky camp does affect drop rate. If the camp is so bad that nobody has mastered it in the last 10 years, that is a factor you need to consider when camping Goblin Ring when it comes to drop rates.

Fungi plummeting while ggr stonks hold firm.

Trade your fungis for ggr while markets are still favourable.
