Rings are an amazing way to enhance your character in BG3. Some can increase Ability Scores or grant proficiencies, while others can give us spells and features. Since we only have space for two rings on each character, it is important to know which ones are the best for your class.
I have listed the rings below and ordered them by Acts to avoid unnecessary spoilers. This way you can find the best gear for your current level of play.
Best Rings in Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 1
Ring of Flinging
This ring grants the wearer a1d4 bonus to throw damageand is ideal for a Barbarian since the bonus damage applies when shoving enemies off cliffs, and when throwing creatures or objects. At low levels, 1d4 can quickly stack up and make a difference.
It is easy to get this ring atDruid’s Groveby purchasing it from the traderArron(X: 204 Y:515).
Smuggler’s Ring
This item is ideal forRoguessince it givesStealth +2andSleight of Hand +2at the cheap cost of Charisma -1. It comes very handy in early-game to pick locks and disarm traps or steal from distracted NPCs. I have it onAstarion, and together with the Gloves of Thievery, there is no lock capable of stopping us.
You can find it inThe Risen Roadif you loot a skeleton that is hidden in a bush below the bridge (X:58 Y:512).
Ring of Absolute Force
The ring allows the wearer to cast the level 1 spellThunderwave. Even when the damage output begins to fall short at higher levels, this spell is incredibly useful for the ability to push several enemies at the same time—have fun shrugging off melee attackers and throwing them down the cliffs.
You can loot the ring from Sergeant Thrinn atGrymforge.
Ring of Protection
This is a great option for early game since it gives the wearer+1 ACand+1 on Saving Throws. For Classes like Wizards and Sorcerers who cannot wear armor or Light-Armor-wearers like Warlocks and Rogues, this increment in AC can mean a lot. I chose to pair this with the Braces of Defense to give Gale a chance of surviving.
you may obtain this ring as a reward fromMolat theDruid’s Grove, after you steal the Sacred Idol of Silvanus.
Best Rings in Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 2
Risky Ring
This ring will grant youAdvantage on all your attack rolls, but give you Disadvantage on your Saving Throws. While it seems as if the boon is offset by the bane, some characters can gain much from this ring.
You can buy this ring from the vendorAraj Oblodraat Moonrise Towers (X:-125 and Y:-190).
Snowburst Ring
Whenever the wearer of this ring deals Cold damage, it creates a15ft circular surface of icearound the target. I remember how during the Early Access of BG3, cantrips were able to create surfaces of their type. Later that was deemed too overpowered and ever since, only spells of level 1 and above can alter the environment. With this ring, however, a simple acantripas Ray of Frost can become a powerful weapon.
You can find it at theLast Light Inn, under a plank (X: -76, Y: 158).
Coruscation Ring
When the wearer deals spell damage while illuminated by a light source, they also inflictRadiating Orbupon the target. This status effect substracts 1 from every Attack Roll the target does in its next turn; it also shines bright light, affecting nearby creatures that are sensitive to daylight. I gave this ring toShadowheartbecause she is wielding The Blood of Lathander, a weapon that is always casting light.
You will find this in a chest underneath theLast Light Inn(X: 44, Y: -733).
Shadow Blade Ring
This ring allows you to cast the 2nd level spell Shadow Blade, which deals2d8 psychic damageand hasAdvantageagainst lightly or heavily obscured targets.
If you saved the Tiefling girl Arabella during Act 1, you can find her again in the Shadow Cursed Lands near the House of Healing (X: -151 Y: 21) and tell her to go to your camp. She will give you this ring after youfind her parentsin the House of Healing and take a Long Rest.
Killer’s Sweetheart ring
After killing a creature, your next attack will be aguaranteed critical hit. I gave this ring toKarlachbecause she is my main DPS, but whoever is the heavy-hitter in your party can find great benefit in this item.
The ring is found on the ground inThe Gauntlet of Sharafter theSelf-Same trial.
Best Rings in Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 3
Ring of Combat Regeneration
At the beginning of your turn, this ringheals you 1-4 hit points. Especially useful on characters with lower HP, such aswizards, it can make a difference between life and death.
You can buy it fromRolanatSorcerous Sundries.
The Burnished Ring
This ring grants us the amazing feature of theParalyzing Ray. As an attack roll and not a save-based spell, this is a highly effective move that renders an enemy useless for an entire round.
The Burnished Ring is dropped by aSpectatorat theHouse Of Hope(X: -6491 Y: 2932)
Crypt Lord Ring
This ring allows you to cast the 6th-level necromancy spellCreate Undead. Since it doesn’t require concentration, it can be effectively used by any class, but it works the best with characters that can bring their summons back up to life, like Circle of Spore Druids.
You can earn this ring at the city of Baldur’s Gate. In the Lower City,Mystic Carrionwill give it as a reward for the questFind Mystic Carrion’s Servantif you bring the zombie Trumbo alive.
