Type	Jewellery
Name	Ring of strength
Icon

A ring that increases the physical strength of its wearer.

A +6 ring of strength boosts the strength of the wearer.

Desirability

Decent. Strength provides a fair boost to your damage, and lets you wear armour easily. A ring of strength might be a good find for early characters wearing heavy armour. However, resistance-boosting rings may be more useful as you go through the game.

History

Prior to 0.27, oft cursed -4 rings of strength could generate.
Prior to 0.25, enchantment values ranged from 2 to 6 (positive and negative).

-A '''+6''' or '''-4 ring of strength''' affects the [[strength]] of the wearer. If the enchantment is negative, the ring is normally [[curse]]d, and it can cause [[stat zero]] if you are unable to remove it.
+A '''+6 ring of strength''' boosts the [[strength]] of the wearer.
 ==Desirability==
-Gaining a little more strength rarely has a dramatic effect on your character's performance. Strength provides a slight increase to your accuracy and damage output and allows you to more easily wear armour, [[kite shield]]s, and [[tower shield]]s, but its overall impact is usually pretty negligible. A ring of strength might be a good find for early characters wearing heavy armour and/or a shield, particularly if they also intend to cast spells, but you'll probably want to replace this with something better eventually.
