Ring of Becoming --> Ring of Wonder?

[Bobsplosion]

I haven't actually tested it yet, but I did some searching and found this little tidbit from a "planned features" section:

"Ring of Becoming -- While worn, you die if you take any damage. If you transmogrify it or use a transmute spell on it, it turns into the Ring of Wonder: +2 gold per kill, +2 damage, +2 armor, +1 heart container (full), shorter spell cooldowns, +1 regen, +charisma"

This sounds absolutely nuts. I don't know if I'm hardcore enough to carry that ring around with me until I can transform it.

Can anyone confirm if this is what it actually does at this point?

By whatever slip of fate, it just happened.

This thing is absolutely nuts. The only thing I don't understand is what +1 regen and +charisma is, or if those are just jokes.

Final update: +1 regen is +1 heart per level (a la Ring of Regeneration)(duh) and Charisma is 50% discount at shops (Ring of Charisma.)

All in all, a crazy powerful ring, I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up a few times and this thing just kept me going.

If you have a bunch of stuff like glass armor/frost charm/shield spell or scroll, or if you have already uncovered a transmute shop or already possess a Greater Transmute, I guess it's an easier decision?

Honestly, after using it, I'd say pick the thing up every run, every chance you get.

The benefits are too good, and even if you lose the run, oh well, there will be more.

I found that ring just right now, and it truly is the best ring, hands down.

The most crazy thing about that ring is :
If you find another ring, you can swap the ring back and forth and heal up, because the ring of wonder gives you a full heart container. (unlike the ring of peace, who gives you an empty one)

Today's daily challenge had The Ring and transmute spell next to each other in a shop :D I think it was zone 3, not sure though. I just had to buy them, it was so tempting.

If you play as Melody though, the ring doesn`t add to your damage and thus is not nearly as good. Still good, but if you are having a very good full run with plenty of hearts and decent armor, its not worth the risk anymore.

Yeah, not worth the risk, but still the best ring.

Yeah I strive to get the ring of becoming every run, even if it's a daily challenge. However, without the proper transmogification (or however you spell it :P) it can be a run ruiner if you were to get hit once. Just recently, the ring was in transmographer shop and, like an idiot, I went out without changing the ring and died to the next enemy.

Even if I suck at not taking damage, it is a very fun challenge, like a mini-sort-of Aria run.
