+On their own, each ring is a step up from their mundane counterparts. Having +2 AC / +2 EV / +2 SH is better than a [[ring of protection]], and you get the original ring's property on top. Therefore, while it's not uncommon to find better [[randart]] rings, these rings can be useful for any character.
 Only an [[Octopode]], with their ability to wear eight rings at once, can take full advantage of the rings' synergy with the Trident, but they'll still need to find them all first. And by the time that's done, they'll likely have found multiple high-powered randart rings.
