| A ring that makes its wearer either more or less capable of avoiding attacks, depending on its degree of enchantment. |
A +4 ring of evasion boosts the evasion of its wearer.
Desirability
All characters can benefit from more EV, but sacrificing a ring slot for it may or may not be a good idea depending on your other resistances. Unlike most amulets, rings take effect immediately, so you can quickly switch between them at need. A ring of evasion is more likely to be useful for characters with low EV; mechanically, there is a much greater difference between 5 and 9 compared to 25 and 29.
History
- In 0.30, rings of evasion will give +5 evasion.
- Prior to 0.27, you could find rings of evasion with a -4 enchantment; such rings were always cursed.
- Prior to 0.25, enchantments were random values between 1 and 6 (positive and negative).
