    As the title suggest, I want to know what everyone's favorite rings are in SoA and/or ToB.

    My two favorite are the Ring of Gaxx, and the Ring of Wizardry.

    I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if that was the consensus. I prefer the Ring of Regeneration and Ring of Protection +3 (because it's all about improving those saving throws).

    Ring of protection +3? Isn't it TDD item?

    I like Ring of Gaxx (everyone can use it) and Ring of Regeneration (you can get it early) :)

    You can get the Ring of Protection +3 by playing the Deck of Many Things, if you happened to kill the original holder and took it from him. It's kinda hard to end up with, but play the deck right and you can end up with it.

    Oh, and the best ring has to be the Ring of Gaxx. It's almost overpowered, but considering who you have to kill to get it, I suppose that's alright.

    Ring of Gaxx, of course.

    I am a fan of the Ring of Fire Resistance; combined with the Ring of Gaxx, they make for good defenses for a figher equipped with a few potions of explosion or firebreath (heh heh heh...)

    Does it really NEED an upgrade?

    I would pick ring of wizardry as my second choice, but I picked ring of fire control instead, just for variety.

    It all depends on the character really. I like the Ring of Danger Sense and Lockpicks for a thief, and the Ring of Wizardrt and Acuicity for a Wizard sort and of course, we could go on and on...

    I actually like some of the Mod rings from Weimer's mods, like the Sorcererous Ring. It's very lame...Not!

    I don't think it would be a good idea to strenghten the gaxx ring since it's already quite too powerful...naturally the gaxx ring would be my pick although it's beggining to get quite boring...I think i should start wearing a gold ring or an angel skin ring or something... :)

    Yeah, I guess that is kinda dumb :bang: . I'm assuming that your slowly but surely degrading like of the Ring of Gaxx and deciding to switch to a normal ring means that you like to challenge yourself :hmm:

    You get it off Kangaxx the Demilich. Do a search to find out where he is and tactics to beat him.

    Oi, what does the Ring of Gaxx not do?

    +2 AC
    +2 saving throws
    +10% magic resistance
    Immunity to disease & poison
    Regenerate 1 hp per 3 seconds
    Invisibility once per day
    Improved haste three times per day

    I've heard more than one player refer to it as "precious." :D

    Actually before I look into the result of the poll, I already knew which ring will have the most vote. Anyone who have completed BG2 should also know the answer. I mean, who can find other rings in unmodded BG II which is more powerful than Ring of Gaxx?

    Its Ring Of Human Influence for me, it allows you to dump your CHA don to 3 when making your character, so you can achieve high stats in other stuff (I have had 19,19,19,18,18,18 before :D ).

    But for magical power, its gotta be Ring of Gaxx
