Ring of Misfortune

A cursed artifact that brings doom to its bearer

Getting the Lucky Coin

The Lucky Coin was long speculated until Season 3, when players finally discovered the conditions needed to obtain it.

Requirements

1. Active Greed Shrine buff (short duration)

2. Lucky Hit Chance of at least 40% (higher is better)

3. Mini-event where a monster kills an NPC, leaving behind a corpse

4. Loot the corpse for a Lucky Hit check to get the coin

Tips:

  • • The Greed Shrine buff has a short duration so act quickly
  • • Watch the event first while on your mount then get shrine buff and loot
  • • Make sure you are in Torment 1+

Located east of Carrigar in Scosglen, the Wishing Well is only interactable while holding a Lucky Coin.

Interesting Details:

  • • Season 8 launched on 4/29 (April 29), matching the tally count
  • • This connection is possibly intentional by the developers
  • • The message hints at connections to Nahantu (Vessel of Hatred content)
