Firstly, thanks for the feedback! I’m sort of split on this, because on one hand I agree with your dislike of farming, and personally would prefer if there was absolutely 0 farming possibility in the game, but I have to balance that against some players really enjoying farming gameplay. So, the ring of wealth and wand of regrowth are two sort of ‘dedicated farming’ items, where spending enough upgrades into them makes it fairly easy to farm indefinitely.
I don’t ever want this to become a meta strategy though, but I really don’t think that’s the case as you’re describing it. Analytics data isn’t infallible of course, but I do keep track of item success rates, and wealth/regrowth are consistently some of the lowest winrate items in their categories (with the exception of the obvious huntress/warden regrowth synergy). Tedious as it may be, I think getting a farming win with so many challenges is still a reasonable reflection of your skill, and not purely the power of wealth farming.
