My opinion on today's crafting update compared to the previous options: (Winners in bold)
-----------------------------------------------
Amulet of Magic Sapphire amulet Magic attack bonus increased by 10 This item has an infinite amount of charge
Ring of recoil (m) Sapphire ring Will deal the enemy you are fighting 10% of any damage they do to you 40pts of damage may be done with the ring before it breaks
Bracelet of clay (m) Sapphire bracelet Wearer will mine soft clay rather than hard clay while wearing bracelet This item will help mine 28 pieces of soft clay before it breaks
Games necklace (m) Sapphire necklace Allows the user to teleport into the Burthorpe Castle games room or Barbarian Assault This item may be used 8 times
Games Necklace and the new bracelet were my top 2 here. The fact is, I would use Lunar and Home Tele more than I would tele to Barb Assault or Burthorpe Games Basement. Bracelet wins.
-----------------------------------------------
Amulet of Defence Emerald amulet All Defence bonuses are increased by 7 This item has an infinite number of charge
Amulet of nature (m) Emerald amulet
strung with Magic string Can be attuned to a Farming patch and will inform the wearer of the state of crops This item has an infinite number of charge
Ring of dueling (m) Emerald ring Allows the user to teleport to the entrance of either the Duel Arena or Castle Wars This item may be used up to 8 times.
Castlewars bracelet (m) Emerald bracelet Wielder will do extra 20% of damage against a bearer of their side's flag. Castlewars bandage heals 50% more to wielders of the bracelet. Has 3 charges. Bracelet loses one charge each time wearer starts a game of Castle Wars. Bonuses apply even if castlewars bracelet has used its last charge and been destroyed.
Necklace of binding (m) Emerald necklace Will grant 100% success when creating combined runes This item may be used up to 15 times
I'm not going to use the bracelet on this one for a long time. It doesn't justify taking up a bank spot. Ring of Dueling is still my #1.
-----------------------------------------------
Amulet of Strength Ruby amulet Strength bonus is increased by 10 This item has an infinite number of charge
Ring of forging (m) Ruby ring Whilst smelting iron ore you will have a 100% chance of success This item may be used 140 times
Bracelet of innoculation (m) Ruby bracelet Protects the wearer from an amount of disease damage Breaks when protection has been used up
Necklace of ??? (m) Ruby necklace - TBD
This depends on how much protection the bracelet offers. Ring of Forge and the Bracelet are top 2, but that necklace is still a factor. If the update has to do with a quest, then the possibilities are endless. No clear winner here.
-----------------------------------------------
Amulet of power Diamond amulet Attack, Defence and Strength are increased by 6 This item has an infinite number of charge
Ring of life (m) Diamond ring If your Hitpoints drop below 10% then you will be teleported to your respawn point. If you are hit for more than 10%, the ring will not work This item may be used once
Abyssal bracelet (m) Diamond bracelet Prevents wearer from being skulled when entering the Abyss. Player still suffers from Prayer drain. This item has 5 charges before breaking
Phoenix necklace (m) Diamond necklace Automatically restores Hitpoints equivalent to 30% of the max stat if wearer drops below 20%. Has priority over Ring of Life This item is destroyed on use
The only thing I can see is the Phoenix Necklace being used in duels. The Abyssal Bracelet is nice, but has Way too few charges on it. I'm not using my diamonds still... but I may sell them since other people like the update a Lot.
-----------------------------------------------
Amulet of glory (m) Dragonstone amulet (cmbt bonus)
Increased chance of getting gems while mining 4
(Teleports must be charged at the Heroes' Guild)
Ring of wealth (m) Dragonstone ring Chance of receiving rare drops from monsters is increased This item has an infinite number of charges
Bracelet of combat (m) Dragonstone bracelet Allows wearer to teleport to Warriors', Champions' and Ranging Guild as well as the Monastery. Updates wearer with their Slayer totals every tenth target they need to kill Item holds 4 charges. Can be recharged at totem in Legends' Guild (requires completion of Legends' Quest)
Necklace of skills (m) Dragonstone necklace Allows wearer to teleport to Fishing, Mining, Crafting and Cooking Guild. Slightly increases chance of getting a casket when big net fishing. Item holds 4 charges. Can be recharged at totem in Legends' Guild (requires completion of Legends' Quest)
Dragonstones are made of 100% pure WIN. The only hard part about this update is what to use my stones on.
-----------------------------------------------
Amulet of fury (m) Onyx amulet Attack bonuses raised by 10
Defence bonuses raised by 15
Strength bonus raised by 8
Prayer bonus raised by 5 This item has an infinite number of charges
Ring of stone (m) Onyx ring Turns the user into a stone, any attempts to do anything other than type via the chat box will cause the user to return to normal This item has an infinite number of charges
Bracelet of regeneration (m) Onyx bracelets Doubles the natural Hitpoint recovery This item has an infinite number of charges
Berserker necklace (m) Onyx necklace Strength raised by 7
Stab Attack, Slash Attack and Crush Attack reduced by 10
Stab Defence, Slash Defence, Crush Defence, Magic Defence and Ranged Defence reduced by 20
Increases the amount of damage wearer does when wielding an obsidian melee weapon by 20% This item has an infinite number of charges
To those who bought onyx stones for the update... ouch. The update does not justify the difficulty of getting the onyx in the first place. I suppose the infinite charges were supposed to be the saving grace. If the Berserker had worked with the obby rings, then it would be worth it. Otherwise, only Ammy is worth anything.

I still find the ring of stone a joke, who the heck would use it for that? You can still see the people on the map, and it's clearly noticeable; so no use even for PKing.
All in all, I love the soft clay one, I have like 50 sapphires, and lots of con levels to make up
And I'm really looking foward to the dragonstone bracelet, I hate bringing my gem around for slayer; just wish I could do legends lol
