Original Post — Direct link

Hi everyone,

In hopes of helping fellow friends for clarification and under the presumption of this page https://runescape.wiki/w/Ring_of_death it is slowly becoming apparent that the ring may prove to be invaluable for HCIM due to it protecting all items on death at the usual cost of a life.

Previously it was believed 5 items was the maximum and I unfortunately suicided my ironman a long time ago to even try it for the sake of "Science". For the sake of many I'm just reaching out if we can get a 100% confirmation or evidence that this is the undisputed case so the citation could be added to the wiki because this would be huge for all current and future HCIM. Thank you for your time!

TLDR: Ring of Death protects all items for HCIM on death, reputable editor updated wiki to add this information but many concerned if this is truly the case and searching for evidence.

The ring of death does not save a HCIM from dying or losing lives.

I just double checked this on a test world with a HCIM and wearing a fully charged ring of death.

If I am not mistaken, wasn't the effects of ring of death disabled for HCIM now? Yes it did work once but I remember they had to change it.

I will go check.

This confirms that the effects of ROD are meant to never activate on HCIM.

If they did change it in any way, it may be an oversight.

From what it sounds like, you are meant to lose your life (still) and one of the unique features about HCIM is that you're supposed to lose all items or most upon Death instead of going to Death's office.

I'm happy to reconfirm that this is still the case. You will still lose your life.

it counts as a normal death, the ring of death doesn't Trigger.
