First ascension with the thing.

I had one ring of wealth i think +15 and the other one +2. Nearly died in demon halls and rerolled it to Tenacity which had a nice 92% damage reduction. On the way up I hadn’t read the amulet description thoroughly and almost died to the curse.

The wands were important too. Blasting, corrosion, earth, corruption, fireblast and the staff was transfusion. Honestly it felt like a perfect mix because every wand had a role in the fights.

Ended with a +6 great axe so the wealth didn’t help as much as I hoped. None of the wands dropped over +1 so I assume they don’t receive the benefit.

Wands aren't in the "loot table" of the RoW, therefore they don't benefit from the RoW being upgraded. Anything else does, tho. Except throwables, those aren't there either. Just weapons, armor and rings benefit from your RoW being upgraded, and you get higher chances for rare drops (those being blue and purple drops and, at some point, purple only) Artifacts can be dropped too with the RoW, but they'll be at +0.
- I wish I got some good rings. I do think there could have been more farming if I played it optimally but it was tricky managing my hunger and staying at floor 12/17.
  
  Farm at the city, monks can drop food. Big food.
It sucks that the RoW got transmuted into a RoT. Happens to me sometimes, too. I transmute a ring and it becomes tenacity.... Feel like just restarting the run.
