Andvaranaut questions (possible spoilers)

[gilbert12113]

I have got an Andvaranaut ring. It looks nice, with a very nice deep purple color... but:

- I do not understand whther the effects (1% chance of this or that) are positive or negative, i.e., whether they apply to enemies or to the character wearing it. I thought the former... but I died more than once instantly, e.g., as if the damage was reflected to me... Seems consistent with the benefit (50% experience)
- What is the special Andvaranaut skill (are you getting 1234 health or what) ?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Reading about the original, sounds suspicious. :/

-1000% health would be instant k.o. isn't it? not sure how much resist the enemy can get though.

[Atomic Kid]

i think if enemy has 100% vit absorb then nothing can lower that...absorb cannot be lowered by lowered resist and most bosses including psuedo bosses have that mod, though hero (star over head) ususally has resists which can make them vulnerable if you can lower vit resist (usaully spirit offers that)

These are default attributes on the ring. After applying seed it varies a little bit.

Andvaranaut
1.0% Chance of 1000 % Reduction to Enemy's Health
1.0% Chance of -500% Physical Resistance
1.0% Chance of 1000% Damage Reflected
+50% Increased Experience.

Andvaranaut skill: Activated upon taking damage
20 % Energy Drain (30% of lost Energy as Damage)
+15% Vitality Damage

In game UI description tool tip is bugged for me.

Off course the effects applies on enemys, except +50% exp .
But 1.0% chance is a joke , just use the ring for Exp farming or leveling up.

THanks for the information. The ring I has more or less (seed) characteristics

About the skill, I have :

Andvaranaut skill:
[Activated upon taking damage]
5.0 Seconds Recharge
Unknown attributes:
LifeTime 0.1 Seconds
1232 Health

Can you tell me/us where do you get the "20% energy drain" and the rest?

I experienced the ring for one rebirth fountain to the next, alternating with "no ring" and "with ring". The result was not conclusive. I had the "feeling" that, with ring, mobs were a little bit easier to deal with, but no visible effect of the skill. I have seen from time to time (rarely) kind of a black-and-white lighning across the skin for a very short duration (compatible with the 0.1 seconds).

However, I experienced a couples of sudden deaths (something like 3000+HP, without the crititical hit's red number appearing) that could be due to Damage Reflected.

What do you think?

>> Can you tell me/us where do you get the "20% energy drain" and the rest?
Actually I had upgraded the ring from Durin. The energy drain and vitality came from 'Accursed' prefix. Sorry about that.
TQVault displays raw stats. So I get it from there.
The skill shows 0 health for me.

About sudden deaths let me know names of the monsters you are facing.

> About sudden deaths let me know names of the monsters you are facing.

Can't remember, and not sure it is due to the ring... Hence my request here to share experiments and interpretations.

All properties are given to the wearer. So while a chance to reduce enemy health or reflect damage are good, the resistance is a negative.

The skill does something rather unique also related to the ring's lore.

[koderkrazy]

Thanks for the info man!! The ring is more interesting than I thought.
As per the lore the ring generates gold. And it was cursed too.

So there is chance of -500% physical resistance on my character and not on enemy?
Is this the cursed part of the lore?

So the ring is supposed to generate gold.
Correct me if I am wrong here, Does it increase chance of dropping gold by 100 on the monster that hit you or on all monsters? So when the monster dies it'll drop more gold?
I haven't seen it dropping gold when it procs. So it has to be increased gold drop chance on monsters...

[Aainiikkusu]

Yes, it has a chance to make you receive much more damage than usual, but also to reflect the damage.

[Pannathrax]

wouldn't it be too dangerous to equip on legendary if -500% physical resistance happen?

those grandmaster archer will 1hko most probably

[gilbert12113]

The -500% explains all in my case, and yes it is very dangerous in Legendary. I suspect you get the same "dangerousness" everywhere.

I don't like to walk back and forth to a grave, I don't care about money, I have time to level up. I may end up selling the ring (valued to... 3500G!).

Just tested it - the -500% is you. A minotaur just one-hit me with 9k life - so be mindful of using this ring.
