My understanding was that the ring did work for wardens (and PBT) then was nerfed. Last I heard was that the ring works for bards and chanters on hib. Not sure about the other realms.   Jan 29

For Level 6 ability:  (it says INSTEAD in the description, so I am assuming that its also a 5% damage reduction vs everything, and some very loose testing seems to support this).
Its not a charge, its a passive ability. And its not THAT good, its barely noticable often. if someone hits you for 200 damage, you get 10 power, big deal.   Nov 21

Damage converted via the level 6 Crocodile's Tear Ring ability will now update the player's power and endurance bars.

Leveling the Artifact:

best place to level is liches in midgard.  Dec 15
- Killets

 it levels off of mobs in enemy frontiers better. It would take too long to level it off of player xp value from rvr.  Dec 15

Strategy:

Location:  50737, 27855, Oceanus Boreal , just north of that is the crocodile camp.   - Jhova

Cyrene is a rather easy encounter, I have found her always at the 3 crocodile islands in boreal, the Traitor's Dagger also spawns here (Saedri The Traitor) so this is a good 2 artifact grab for a small group to do.  First time we did this we had 50 Celtic Spear hero (me), 50 Void eldritch, and a 48 druid with good buffs and good heals (thanks to toa armor, 630pt heals and near capped buffs).

- First try we waited for her and her posse to leave the safety of the other amaloi crocodiles, if she's buried, just start killin' the regular amalois, they are good xp, and hell, you might clear a path to Saedri or Cynere. Eventually she got far away from the group, we killed her, kind of awkwardly since it was the first time we'd done it, keep the orange amalois that are with her off the squishies and you will be fine, eld dropped them quickly then it was me vs. Cynere.  Took a while, used Ignore pain and stag, and then she dropped, however no ring.

- Second Try - same thing, only things went better, I didn't need IP or stag, things went well, except the drop, no dice. 

- Third Try - I figured I'd shake things up a bit and tempt fate, I wanted teh credit for my bard (level 42) since I wanted the item for her.  Now the druid logged her level 50 celtic spear hero (no ignore pain), the eld was still there and I was playing my 42 bard.  Pretty weak group right?  Well, we killed her easier than we had before, and she dropped the ring, I got my credit, proceeded to pick my jaw up off the ground and there you have it.

Easy encounter, if you want to be safe, bring a group, but definitely doable if you have a heavy tank, some sorta damage dealer to take care of adds (another heavy tank would be better in case of mad resists), and either a good healer, or a class with end regen.   Dec 30

Tips:

Cynere's respawn time is about 30 minutes.   Jan 24
- Jhova

Cynere travels to approximately 53k, 23k with only three to 4 adds.  This makes him much easier to deal with, regarding baf issues.  Fight them under water.  Dec 10

Killed the named croc Cyrene or something like that, dropped a ROG 2H-Axe the first time and the croc ring second time around.  Dunno if this was a rarity or not.  Maybe just kill this guy over and over again till ya get it.    Nov 26

I got the Crocodile's Tears Ring off of a named croc (Forgot his name but he is not to be confused with the one that is in the water between the 3 little islands that drops ROG Axes all the time name began with a "C") He pops after you kill lots of the croc hatchlings from the nests on the eastern most nest island of Crocodile islands in Boreal when he pops u get ALOT of the OJ crocs from the water come up there too.    Nov 20

The ring is dropped by the crocodiles in Oceanus Boreal; I don't recall the exact island, but believe it was at 53, 33. After pulling some of the little orange/yellow con crocs we got a grape and 3-4 reds (plus a bunch of orange/yellow) to zerg us (pbaoe here is very helpful)    Nov 11
