For most of a 3-rune game, negative energy isn't common. You may come across occasional enemies, such as [[jorogumo]]s, [[deep elf death mage]]s or [[shadow dragon]]s, that deal negative energy, so it's nice to keep a source of rN+ handy.

In [[extended]], negative energy and [[torment]] are much more common; having good amounts of rN+ is more important. However, dedicating an entire ring slot to a single source of rN+ isn't the greatest. Note that [[The Shining One]] provides rN+++ to pious followers, making this ring redundant.

Desirability

For most of a 3-rune game, negative energy isn't common. You may come across occasional enemies with negative damage, such as jorogumos, deep elf death mages or shadow dragons, so it's nice to keep a source of rN+ handy.

In extended, negative energy and torment are much more common; having good amounts of rN+ is more important. However, dedicating an entire ring slot to a single source of rN+ isn't the greatest. Note that The Shining One provides rN+++ to pious followers, making this ring redundant.
