A '''ring of resist corrosion''' grants its wearer [[corrosion]] resistance. This reduces [[acid]] damage by 50%, gives a 50% chance to resist the corrosion [[status effect]], and gives immunity to [[Cloud#Acidic_fog|clouds of acidic fog]]. Multiple sources of resist corrosion do not stack.
  
Additionally, it provides its wearer with one level of [[acid]] resistance, greatly reducing damage from [[list of jellies|jelly]]-type monsters and other acidic foes. Stacking an amulet of resist corrosion with an item which provides [[preservation]] does not grant you any additional corrosion resistance, but does increase your acid resistance, further reducing damage taken.

Name Ring of resist corrosion
Icon Ring of resist corrosion.png
A ring that provides partial protection from all sources of acid and corrosion.

A ring of resist corrosion grants its wearer corrosion resistance. This reduces acid damage by 50%, gives a 50% chance to resist the corrosion status effect, and gives immunity to clouds of acidic fog. Multiple sources of resist corrosion do not stack.

Desirability

Acid is a rare element, but some form of rCorr is nice to have (at least as a swapout). It's particularly good throughout the Slime Pits, which are filled with acid blobs. Having rCorr is also useful against a number of enemies, such as oklob plants, entropy weavers, goliath frogs, and caustic shrikes.

Resist corrosion does protect against the *Corr artefact property. Wearing this ring just to protect against *Corr is questionable, though.

History

  • Prior to 0.18, there was an amulet of resist corrosion instead of a ring.
  • Prior to the corrosion overhaul of 0.15, corrosion resistance offered a 90% chance of negating corrosion effects against vulnerable weapons and armour. This stacked with other sources of resistance.
