So I'm playing 3.4 RS1 (after a long break) and find a Ring of Speed +17. Is that still as mind-destroyingly rare as it used to be, or did the PVALs get tweaked recently?

Wow, I thought the highest was +15, at least thats the highest i've seen, but +23 is crazy.
What is the highest that is actually possible, or is it determined randomly or something?Comment

There's no official maximum; the game uses what it calls a "supercharge" mechanic where it will keep adding 1 to the pval as long as the RNG passes a coinflip. Rings of Speed also get 4 + a depth-dependent modifier of up to 6 to their pval (i.e. the worst possible Ring of Speed is +4; the best without passing any supercharges is +10). So the chance of getting a +23 ring, assuming you get the max depth modifier, is 1 in 2^13, or 1 in 8192. If you wanted to get a +32 ring, then you'd be looking at odds of 1 in 2^22 (1 in 4194304).Comment
