What does this mean ?

((+1 Strength; Bull's Strength (10) 10x))

If I have a ring that says this in the description what does it mean ?
I understand the +1 STR bonus, but what does the rest of it mean ?

Thanks.

you can cast Bull's Strength at caster level 10, 10 times using that ring (it has enough charges for 10)

Be careful with items that will have the last casting bring the charges down to 0... the item will disappear if you use the last charge.

Well ive never been officially told from anyone else. I know the 10 x is how meny times you can cast the spell bulls strength from the ring before it the power fizzles up and the ring vanishies. I did this once to my items before. So if you do use the spell like ability of the ring dont use the last charge.

As far as the (10) before im guessing its the level at which the spell cast at. Thus being cast as if you were a 10th level caster.

Those guys *points up* all got the Bulls Strength bit right.

But I'd be mightly surprised if using the last charge destroyed the ring given the permanant Str +1.

I'd export the character (hit Esc or 'o' and press "Save Character") and the load up a test mod using that char and use all the charges to see what happens.

Get ready to be surprised then, items are destroyed when they reach zero charges.

using up charges on anything destroys the item. Tested and learned from my own mistakes

Try to learn from ours now instead of making your own.

*falls over in shock*

Ah well, at least I had the sense to suggest testing it first

He's from New Zealand, they get suprised easily

All said here is right, is a handy ring, but need to be careful as pointed out above.

Bah, at least we have tidy whole number timezones, and none of this "oh no, I've gone too far north, no more daylightsavings"

Is that so you all don't get confused or is it to allow the non-consenting sheep a chance to hide before the shepherds come.

whereas you guys, who have far more sheep, don't even give them a change

poor sheepy

IS why I favor a simple +1 attribute , to +1 attrib and buffs. THe simple ring lasts forever, AND I can get a few cons for it when I find a +2 attrib ring.

Woody · Post by **Woody** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 2:08 pm

Yeah, maybe I'll hold out for a +2 attrib. ring...even though it is 10X as much in price !

You might be missing part of the point of these rings. They are made to be expendable. They are easily and *coughs* cheaply replaced.

robocod · Post by **robocod** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 2:21 pm

I guess the cost of the ring can be offset against the cost of bulls strength potions too. I mean if a regular potion of bulls strength costs 300 gold but the spell on the ring lasts 3 times longer (10 hours rather than 3 hours) then you just saved yourslef lots of gold. How much do the rings cost anyway?

Woody · Post by **Woody** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 2:32 pm

Well, I think I saw the( (+1 Strength; Bull's Strength (10) 10x))
ring for 10,000 GP.

A ring with permanent +2 STR costs about 100,000 GP.

those are both on the high side.

but you should really find out in game.

there are several players who make them now, not all of which work for the big shops.

In other words, prices fluctuate.
