In a post on the Lineage message forums, NCsoft's CaptSturm revealed some insight into the functionality of the KillGlance Ring:
If I didn't mention this before, I had begun using the "randomizer" on the KG Ring.
(I had been selecting things from the list for a while, but noticed some criticism about how that wasn't reaaallly random. The way it works now is that I have an excel list with every possiblity. I have an "dice rolling" program. So, say 3 options. Option one is HP, Option two is MP and Option 3 is poly.
Roll the dice to see how many of the three options the ring will get--however, its stacked to do one option, possible but not likely to do two options, and very rarely to do three)
Next roll is to see which of the options is selected.
Finally, a roll is conducted to see what the range of the option is. Example would be -10 HP, +10HP, or +20HP. For the poly option, a variety of options are assigned numeric values and when that numbe comes up, that's what you get.
So, with the current option, line 13 came up--which was bracer effect. Then it got a good roll to make it +3 projBonus.
It still has the limitation of being manually entered, which means some weeks may go by with no change. Other times we may do a change every week--and in extreme cases maybe even more often than that.

It will be interresting ot see this in action! Barbose and I have created one of these rings to test it out and if We like the uses of this we will make some more!!!

I must say the most recent Killglance Property seems a little... ummm... not random. I mean I believe in coincidence and all but come on, Pumpkin Costume?! That's just too convenient for even my naive mind. Yes I said Naive!

Personally I've loved the pumpkin costume ever since I joined the game...there's just a level of whimsey in it that makes me run around with the ring on any chance I get. Now, I prefer that at other times of the year my KG rings *aren't* pumpkins, but for the immediate future it works for me, random or not.
