This ring provides protection from cold.

A ring of protection from cold protects its wearer from cold-based attacks, providing one level of cold resistance (rC+).

Strategy

  • Cold resistance is often useful and occasionally critical, although a character will usually have enough time to swap a ring in when confronted with a cold-using monster. Whether you regularly swap this ring or keep it on all the time depends greatly on your character's other equipment and your own playing style.
  • In general, cold resistance is a lower priority than fire resistance in the late game due to the threat of orbs of fire, but can be helpful during the Lair with the occasional appearance of rime drakes, which use cold-based attacks.
