Philosopher's Stone

Well that's ****ing gay, why did they change this? I loved roaming as Amumu with this....

I don't care about my rep, but you can +rep if you want to.

the problem with this was when top solo lane starts stacking 3 of them for free gold and free health regen for infinite sustainability. but that's about it.

hmmm, i have a question, does the heart of gold stack with Philosophers stone? i know they're both unique effects but the wording is different so am a lil curious

Oddly, my experience has been that this is a good item to rush on Cho'Gath for tanking. He really needs the mana regen and the gold helps him build up items faster.

I dont know why junglers don't rush these...especially with the new carebear creeps...

Faerie Charm: 3 Mana per 5, 180 Gold => 60 Gold per Mp5
Regrowth Pendant: 15 Health per 5, 435 Gold => 29 Gold per Hp5

Philosopher's Stone has an additional 3 Hp5 and another 5 Mp5, so you would pay 87 + 300 = 387 Gold for the stats update, PLUS you get 5 Gold per 10 seconds for the cost of 185 Gold.

This item is very powerful in my opinion, as other 5 Gold per 10 seconds items usually take some time to pay for themselves, this is like free Gold!


To sum it up: Gold Making parts in items:

Kage's Lucky Pick: 25 minutes, 30 seconds to pay for itself (7 minutes, 20 seconds for the Gold Making part).

Heart of Gold: 27 minutes, 30 seconds to pay for itself (5 minutes, 30 seconds for the Gold Making part).

Avarice Blade: 25 minutes to pay for itself (5 minutes for the Gold Making part).

Philosopher's Stone: 26 minutes, 40 seconds to pay for itself (less than nothing for the Gold Making part!!).
