So...given that DR's travails have practically become part of the DAIMP mythos, I figured it would be apropos to start a betting pool on what day, she finally draws her first out of a chest.  For kicks and giggles, let's double down, and also guess what day she gets her second.
 
First ring: August 7, 2015.
Second ring: August 29, 2015.
 
Edited to include the following, as official rules of the pool, as proposed by K_A_Rnage.
 
Rules of the competition:
1. 1 vote per person.
2. No votes can be the same
3. Votes for first SHOK ring only
4. DragonRacer can vote
5. Votes only acceptable 24hrs before confirmation
6. Competition closes 24hrs before ME:A goes on sale
7. Votes can only be posted in this thread
8. I hope I win
9. DragonRacer has to make every reasonable attempt to open at least one chest a day (probably should have checked with you first right?)

Good luck everyone!
And all hail DragonRacer!

If next week's challenge is a two-fer as far as Varric's chest(hair)s go, I'm going with:

 

First ring:  Aug 9, 2015

 

Second (and third): Aug 12, 2015 - because rngeezus is evil like that.

[DragonRacer]

I honestly haven't laughed so hard that I snorted in a long time. 

 

This is hilarious and awesome. Also, bold predictions that I'll get it so soon as next month. Or 2015 at all.

 

Billy, sticky this sh*t! 

[K_A_Rnage]

Wow you guys are optimistic!
She's waited this long so another month or 2 won't hurt.
September 12 is my bet. Next 2 on the 15th
Hopefully I get my 200HP belt by then too

Good luck DR!

[CrimsonN7]

I reckon I'll be playing ME: Andromeda MP by the time Dragon gets it. Too hopeful?

[Yumi]

I'm gonna go with RNJesus and say Christmas morning.

[BreakJohn]

this thing honestly drops so often for me i can't imagine someone not having one for so long!

 

case in point:

 

btw thats not the first time i've gotten two of those in a row, just the first time i recorded it. 

 

as for when i think DragonRacer will get one, i say sometime this month. i think they really up'ed the drop rate for this ring in particular. 

[K_A_Rnage]

That was just cruel John!!

[kmeeg]

First ring: June 19, 2018

Second ring: January 11, 2019

I endeavored to "like" every post in this thread, but the forum has decided I have "liked" enough things today as of your post and I'm on a cooldown period.

Oh, God.

I'd seriously laugh if I snagged one before her.

[DragonRacer]

^^^^

 

 

 

I know, right? I've been nearly 9 months without getting one. Perspective: I literally could have carried a child to nearly full-term in my womb in the time I have played and been denied this accessory. That I'm suddenly going to get it next month is... highly optimistic.

November 5, 2055 is an entirely legitimate estimate as well. I'd only be... *counts for a moment*... 70 years old. I fully anticipate to still be gaming at that age, barring early death or loss of both limbs in an unfortunate accident somehow. The servers still being up is the really questionable part.

[ParthianShotX]

September 11 for the first.  All hallow's for the second.

[jeremyj26]

Would this be a bad time to mention I pulled two from the superb req chests today?

What will the correct guesser win? I will accept a paid subscription to PS plus.

I'm on it Dragon

 

[Geth Supremacy]

I'm all in on less than a month before the servers close.

 

(I would be open to splitting the pot with anyone who may or may not tweak drop rates as a whole or even just for 1 individual player)  Just putting that out there.

TL;DR Nice to see some "love" coming through from all of you with this.

[TheThirdRace]

My guess is Billy is gonna make a special chest just for her as a reward for the Tales of the Inquisition's Agents: Book 1.
 
When she open up that very special chest, there's gonna be 2 Superb Ring of Life-Drained.

This special ring, of which there will be only 2 copies worldwide (both owned by DragonRacer), will have a 10% Health lost on being hit.

Just because...

BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
ROFLMFAO!!

[TheThirdRace]

BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
ROFLMFAO!!

It would require a bit more work, but other versions could be:

• 10% Heal on Hit, every time she hits an enemy, it heals 10%
• 10% Heal on Kill, every time she kills and enemy, every enemy in 8 meter range gets healed for 10%
• A combination of the previous 2 just for a touch of trolling

Or something else entirely like a Superb Ring of Poisoned. Just like the veilfire objective, she lose 2HP/sec with that ring equipped. Maybe an Enhanced ring at 5HP/sec to show her it could have been worst...
