Scarab Ring - Opinions?

Hi!

Ok, I know the darned thing is not equipable/active yet ... but the description says attack and defend, which makes it sound ok at the very least.

Should I buy one and hope for the best, or do you all think this will be "junk", like doing 2 icons of damage, something like that. I don't want to spend 45K (minimum) on something that'll do nothing or next to nothing.

If you compare it to other scratchcard prizes, say, the Terror Mountain "Artifacts", such as the Snowglobe Staff, then it may be a decent weapon.
I'm not paying more than about 10 K for it until I see some stats, though.

You sound like me - optimistically skeptical

Thing is, the cheapest one right now on the wiz is around 45k, I've been looking! The only way I think to find one for 10k (or anywhere near there) is either a new person who misprices one in their shop or if it truly is cruddy - then the price will drop like a rock. Decisions, decisions!

it's a basic weapon for begginers as my brother said

It could be the next melting mirror or moehogs skull....

Well, right now their prices are really inflated because the scratchcard Kiosk was taken down. I have a feeling that the weapon won't be too spectacular, but I would wait for them to become eqiupable and have been tested.

Even when the scratchcard place was unreleased but open, the prices for the ring where about 13k. Imagine if it was release what the prices would be.

If you ask me its a cheap item. I won one but didn't sell it yet...

Well, I would sell mine before tnt re-releases the ld kiosk and the market gets flooded with the rings. Even if the ring is an extremely valuable weapon (which I doubt), you could always just pick up another one off a New Member when they get released.

I'd sell mine too, but since its "beta-testing" I can't move it to my shop, or put in on the TP...
By then the prices will drop :\

does 2/2/2 water/fire/physical

defends 3/3 fire/physical

I personally think it's decent for young battlers/newbies. Considering it's a SC Prize, it'll be great.

I just sold 2 for 9k each.
the prices are slowly falling to a resonable price

Hey, this isnt bad! I'll pick one up!

I am not a battle newbie, but I don't have the np to dish out for nice ones, so i think this ring is slightly better then the LDD, I think it cause the Defending rate is nice. Who knows, I may be wrong, I just hope It gets a little cheaper so i can buy a second one.

Was able to pick one up last night after refreshing the shop wiz page forever ... now my pet has 85 boost both strength and defense.

Tried it out on the flaming meerca (just for giggles) - did a fairly respectable 29 damage on jump and attack while only getting 2 damage myself (using the SC with leaf shield). I'm actually pretty impressed with this! It's no MoC (3.7 million in the HT), but it just may do for the time being.
