New rings are dropped in all areas it seems. I haven't received any amulets yet.
Here are pictures:

since the update, after each friend fight, it goes back to the "Add" tab and does not remain on "friends List" tab.

Is there more information to be found anywhere about this new update? Is there specific areas that the rings/amulets fall in or is it completely random?

Thanks for posting pics! Us poor iOS people will probably have to wait another two weeks to see that :(

Gree has really stepped it up in the last month. I was losing hope and then they introduce 2 great game changing updates within a month. Nice job

Anyone grabbed one out of chest yet? If so, which chest were they in?

So, you can only enhance a new armor with the rings/amulets?
That sux.
I want it on my BEST armor, not an armor that hasnt been leveled up yet.

It was mentioned in another post by I believe a GREE moderator that the update will come a few days later for iOS users. I was hoping it would be here before Friday, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

[Reginnin]

No david u can put it on any matching element armor.

You can have them on any armor (as long as it matches) as seen in the last few pictures.

It's not up to GREE to update. I think the update has to go through Apple people first (security check and w/e) before the update gets pushed.

quick theory: for some odd reason ATK/DEF Baubles level 1 range from 35 to 49 points, so maybe that doesn't apply to level 2 and beyond and level 2 has a "35 + y" value that's still below 49. (in other words: a 35 stat bauble would have gone up in stats by going to level 2, while a 49 bauble might have to be gotten to something like level 5 or 10 before its stats increase because it's initial stats are already up to level 5 or 10 stat-level even.)

[Marco_]

I guess until they get added to chests, drop rate just is too low to do a proper analysis. :(
(getting maybe 1 or 2 per day to drop. :( )

By now Gree should know how long Apple will need for update to come out and send the info later to Google, so update will come out around same time for both systems

They use android as lab rats to work the bugs out.....you know instead of beta testing.... Lol

It really doesn't matter since the bugs won't be patched even after iOS gets it.

Fusing seems like will need lots of research...

Fused:
+52A Fire/Stinging Band w/ a +42A Earth/Band Bravery = +63D Fire/Sturdy Loop

A=attack D=def

...having issues with trying to upload photo from a CM10 build.

I agree. Got the Knuckle of Skill. A +74 Atk ring for earth. Uncommon rarity, from fusing. I want to venture a guess you can get 3 stars. Not 100% as this is only a guess. I apologize for the photo. The forum is strict about the size and data. And I'm to lazy to dl an app to do the trick.

Any update on when this will release?

[Head-Hunter Arc]

Since they are adding these rings and amulets to increase the stats of gear then the issue of crummy PvP battles where everbody pretty much dies in 2-3 hits. These new pieces of gear should also come with HP boosts or make HP go up with levels so that grinding past level 100 will actually mean something. Adding more HP will also help fix the issue of losing to people with worse gear than you because of misses.

This is already happening. The rings and amulets have the ability to increase either Attack, Defense and/or Health.

Is it significant enough to matter though? I found a ring with +10HP which is a trivial amount, so I figure ill level it up and see if I can get more out of it. well, I didn't. the ring's level increased but the HP boost it provides did not. initial impression is that this new jewelry system is broken.

Edit: The interface for equipping jewelry could also use improving. attaching jewelry to each character means that you run into a major headache if you have to shuffle gear around between your characters. If the jewelry was associated with an armor set instead of each character then it would make things much easier to deal with.



By the way, is there any correlation between stage difficulty and drop rate of jewelry? (i.e. flaming wildwood drops better than relic ruins, or Misty marsh heroic mode drops better than misty marsh epic mode) From what i've seen so far the drop rate sucks on every stage. Sometimes I use up all my energy without getting one piece of jewelry that is described rarity wise as "common".

[Aleksander Strilchik]

Guys, did anyone managed to get anything above a silver star jewelry? I wonder if it is possible at all. Fused a lot of rings with a silver star and never got anything stronger than that.

[emmyandterry]

Gold star amulets

[SylusBlack]

They just announced that they've added Rings and Amulets to all chests now. :D

[XBDMRRFPN]

I got a 2 gold star ring from a chest (DPC keys got with arena)
called "solid stone" (fire element)
I fused a couple of less important rings in it and get level2 increasing the defense stat from 167 to 169
I am at 2/50 level

[Mitchb101]

Can you fuse a gold one star??

I know u can get them in the chests now since the new new update.

But i have had no luck fusing... and tips??

Great point, it is a bit frustrating having to keep moving the rings around and amulet, even if it is a quick process.

There is no correlation between stage difficulty.
I suggest framing relic runes on epic difficulty, not heroic. Works a treat!.

Available in the chests now... but i'm wondering whether it is fuseable yet, i have had no luck.

I haven't fused above a silver star using silver stars, but members of my guild fused 1* and 2* together and got 2* and 3*.

Have not had any luck fusing from silver to gold. Done various levels of silver but there seems to be a lot. Still haven't gotten a gold from fusing yet.
