  • What rings did you use between 50-75?

    Adding to what the subject implies, at point did you switch from phanlanx to +Vit rings? Or should I and/or is it worth switching to Vit rings, and at what level? Or should I and/or at what level does the effectiveness either phanlanx or Vit rings becomes dimishing to a point where I should try different rings? (ie: rings to boost accuracy).


    FYI, I'm currently using 2 chrysoberyl rings (Vit+3 each), I switch from phanlanx at around lv56. However, I've been wondering if such switch was a wise move, and/or whether I makde the switch too earlier in my lvl.

    From what I read in this forum, you should switch to chrysobery at lvl 60. So its Phalax for 50 to 60.

          Right now, I run with a Jelly Ring and a Mermaid's Ring. I like the Mermaid's ring cause it basically allows the DRK/WAR and WAR/SAM in my PT to spam their WS as much as possible, thus killing the creatures alot faster.


          One could argue that a Vit +3 or +4 ring would do me better on these regular IT mobs than the Jelly's -5%.

            I switched from Phalanx to Chryso at lvl 60. After 2 xp outings of taking an average of 20 more damage per hit, I went back to Phalanx. I might give the Chryso another shot at 65.

              I have 2 Sphene(sp?) Rings, +2 VIT rings, right now. Would it be ok to use them till lvl 54 for the +3 VIT ones, or are the Phalanx Rings that important? I have the money to afford them, so I'm not worried about it. I just like the +10 VIT I have right now from my current gear.

              Iron Musketeer's Armet +2 VIT
              Warrior's Belt +1 +3 VIT
              Sphene Ring +2 VIT
              Sphene Ring +2 VIT
              Earth Mantel +1 VIT
              -------------------------------------------
              Total +10 VIT

                Phalanx + Chrysoberyl for me till 72. I will probably make the switch to 2 topaz rings at that time. I will keep the phalanx ring that I have for awhile until I am sure that I like what 2 topaz rings can provide.

                  From what I've heard, damage from each monster is dependant on various stats. Some go from attack stats alone, while others go for the Str. I'm going to be switching from both Sphene and Phalanx rings depending on the situation. But since my leveling plan has been overrun with Beetles as of late, I think I'll just stick with phalanx for a while.

                  Basically the higher the monster's attack -> Phalanx
                  the higher the monster's strength -> Vit+

                  this all comes from the stuff that I've read on these forums.

                    Depending on how much firepower the group has, I go with 2 electrum for the extra MP (I'm not rich enough for an astral/serket) or 2 VIT rings. I haven't seen the benefits of the Phalanx ring in the least.

                      Phalanx 50->58, and Tiger Ring ever since 59. (not many even consider Tiger Rings, but they r pretty good.)

                      as an Elvaan, my low AGI gives me too many critical hits if left out, so i choose to go w/ AGI boosting. Tiger Ring also gives +3 on Def.

                      not considering VIT boosting atm.

                        I did use Tiger ring, however after the first time I fight Titan, I purchased the vit3 ring. I don't know if the VIT really matters that much during the titan fight, but I sure like the 7 earth on the ring just in case. Now, I am using phalanx ring, vit 3 ring, and gold msk ring (if I am in the area that bastok has control: 4 def 3 vit 2 agi)

                          I've had the +10 def rings before and weren't impressed with them. I didn't notice any differnace other then my defense looked more impressive if I turned everything on at once.

                          Right now I'm using the electrum rings in place of the Vit rings since I'm using the gluttony sword. The 40 hp might seem like a big lose to some people, but the +50 mp (10 from earrings) I have makes a bigger differance. That's a extra cure 3, which is basicly another 180 hp to me and more aggro. I'll probably get rid of those later when I'm higher level and switch out of the gluttony, but for now they're nice to have. Having over 300 mp at level 60 is pretty nice. Since I know galka's and elvs have about 100-180 mp at 60 (non-increased).

                            I have +10 vit right now with no food thx to gluttony. In my case should i still use the +3 vit rings or leave on my +10def? I dont know if +16 vit/+20 vit with food at my current lvl would be over doing it. Watcha all think?
