| A ring that increases the dexterity of its wearer. |
A +6 ring of dexterity affects the dexterity of the wearer.
Desirability
Although more dexterity is always nice, the exact impact of boosting your dexterity really depends on your Dodging and Stealth skills, as well as the encumbrance rating of your armour. Evasion-based fighters or sneaky stabbers will likely appreciate it far more than a minotaur in crystal plate armour.
In any case, a ring of dexterity isn't going to help you enough to make it competitive with many of the other options out there, such as resistances or intrinsics like see invisible or wizardry. Definitely use it in place of nothing, but don't feel bad swapping it out when something more crucial comes along.
History
- Prior to 0.27, you could find rings of dexterity with a -4 enchantment; such rings were always cursed.
- Prior to 0.25, typical enchantment values ranged from 2 to 6 (positive and negative).
