Stardew Valleyhas awide selection of Ringsthat can give you brilliant utility abilities, powerful buffs, and special perks that will make your time exploring the mines, Skull Cavern, and the Volcano Dungeons much easier than if you didn’t adorn any jewelry. However, there is a way to make these rings even more powerful, provided you have access to the Forge on Ginger Island.
10 Best Stardew Valley Weapons
From Slimes to Serpents, these are the weapons you’ll want to nab in Stardew Valley
This Forge will allow you to take two unique ring variants present in the game and then melt them down to form a combo ring with both effects in one. This means it’ll only take up one slot, and it’ll open up a world of possibilities when accessorizing and making your character more powerful. However, you may be wondering which of these combos offers the best dual effects. Well, allow me to break it down for you!
10Caffeine Kick Ring
Ring Combo
Hot Java Ring
Burglar’s Ring
Increases Chance to DropCoffeeandTriple Shot Espresso
Monsters Drop Items More Often
We begin with a ring that will appeal to all you coffee connoisseurs out there. The Caffeine Kick Ring is a combo of the Hot Java Ring, which increases the chances of enemies dropping either coffee or triple-shot espresso when they are slain. Along with the Burglar’s Ring, which increases the chances of item drops with the potential for enemies to drop double the Coffee if the effect occurs.
This is beneficial for two reasons: Coffee and Triple Shot Espresso sell for a decent little nugget of cash, and also, they have a speed boost effect that is very helpful if you want to get a lot done on a particular day and zoom around the town.
If you have a good speed-enhancing recipe likeSpicy EelorCrab Cakesalready, this might not be all that useful. But if you don’t, it’s a great way to get a little pep in your step.
9Debuff Destroyer Ring
Immunity Band
Sturdy Ring
Increases Immunity by +4
Decreases the duration of Defuffs by 50%
Next, we have a ring combo that will all but guarantee that debuffs inStardew Valleynever plague you ever again, and if they do, they won’t be anywhere near as debilitating as before. This ring increases your Immunity by +4, making it much more unlikely that debuffs will occur in combat. Then, on the off chance that they do, the debuffs will last significantly less time than they normally would, making them a much more temporary concern.
There is great synergy between these two rings here, as this makes it much easier to deal with certain enemies that lower your attack, defense, and speed. So, if you have some specific monsters to slay for the Adventurer’s Guild, and they are known for relying on debuffs, this is the ring combo you’ll want to equip.
8Critical Damage Ring
Aquamarine Ring
Increases Critical Hit Power by 10%
Increases Critical Hit Rate by 10%
Raw damage output is a good thing to keep ticking up as you progress throughStardew Valley, but it’s not the only way to vanquish pesky enemies. You see, there’s standard damage, and then there is critical hit damage, and if you’re the kind of player that likes to buff their luck stat and rely on these powerful critical strikes, then this is a ring combination that will suit you down to the ground.
By combining the Jade Ring and the Aquamarine Ring, you can gain a total buff to both your critical hit rate and your critical hit power. Which, when combined with some food items that enhance your luck like a Lucky Lunch, and a weapon that relies on critical hits like theIridium Needle. It can be a truly devastating build. So, if this sounds up your alley, this is a ring you need to go and forge.
7The Slime Hunter Ring
Slime Charmer Ring
Makes the player invulnerable to Slimes
Due to the fact that Slime enemies inStardew Valleyhave a really annoying debuff that slows the player to a crawl, not to mention the fact that they are quite hardy and aggressive little buggers, it can be a pain to deal with them. However, they are also a great wayto make money via a Slime Hutch, and they tend to have excellent drops depending on what type ofSlimeenemy you encounter. So, if you want to farm them, you need a good solution to this issue.
The Slime Charmer Ring and Burglar Ring combo is the solution to this problem, as it not only gives you the potential for double the item drops, but also makes you completely invincible when dealing with Slime enemies. It’s an essential ring combo for slime farmers, and also a handy combined ring to have on hand for floors of the mines with Slime infestations. So do yourself a favor and forge this one.
6Luck Of The Gods Ring
Ring of Yoba
Lucky Ring
Chance to apply Blessing of Yoba
Adds a +1 Buff to Luck
The Ring of Yoba is a handy ring from a defensive point of view, as it can effectively give you a 5-second invincibility window if you happen to take damage. However, the issue with this ring is whether or not the Blessing of Yoba effect kicks in is governed by luck. So, if you haven’t buffed your luck stat, it might not kick in when you need it most. However,if you have luck on your side all the time, then this becomes a worry of the past.
10 Games To Play If You Love Stardew Valley
Stardew’s nearly a decade old; it might be time for something new…
If you combine the Ring of Yoba with the Lucky Ring, you gain +1 to your luck stat alongside the potential Blessing of Yoba when you take damage. With this luck buff, it means roughly a 10% higher chance of this kicking in. So, if you want to have the gods on your side, this ring is the way to do it.
5Thorns Of Protection
Thorns Ring
Protection Ring
When the player takes damage, the enemy takes equal damage
Grants the player a longer invincibility window when hit
Speaking of rings that show their worth when you take damage, if you combine the Thorns Ring and the Protection Ring, you get a combined ring that will make any enemy think twice about attacking you, because it will only make you more powerful.
This ring will activate when you take damage, and when you do, the enemy that hits you will take equal damage. Plus, you’ll also have an extended invincibility window, which you can use to get away or go on the offensive, depending on what the situation warrants. It’s a perfect ring for those who take a lot of hits when visiting the mines. You may not be the best warrior in the world, but with this ring, that may be to your advantage.
4The Lifeblood Ring
Vampire Ring
Soul Sapper Ring
Gives the player +2 HP per kill
Gives the player +4 Energy per kill
Beforeevery trip to the mines, players will likely head to a nearby chest, hunt for all the best food items they have at their disposal, and then pack them in their inventory to be munched on when HP or Energy drops and needs a top-up. This isn’t a bad practice by any stretch, but it does take up valuable space in your inventory that could be used for loot that could be sold after a long day of spelunking. So, we have a way to free up that space and still keep HP and stamina high.
If you combine the Soul Sapper Ring and the Vampire Ring, you’re able to effectively keep both your HP and Energy full by killing enemies. Sure, you may need the occasional food item if things go wrong. But if you’re a skilled combatant, you can be completely self-sustainable when it comes to HP and energy replenishment. It’s the ultimate life drain ring, and one that thrifty players will really appreciate.
3The Safety Ring
Phoenix Ring
Crabshell Ring
Upon death, player is revived with 50% health replenished
Grants player a +5 Buff to Defense
No matter how brilliant you are when it comes toStardew Valley’ssimple and accessible combat, there will inevitably be a time when the Serpents come at you thick and fast, you’ll have no answer for them, and you’ll be in a heap of trouble. Now, in normal circumstances, your HP bar would melt away like butter in the hot sun, and you’d die pretty quickly, but with the Safety Ring combo, you’ll be able to fight back against the horde.
This combo of the Phoenix Ring and the Crabshell Ring grants you a +5 boost to your overall defensive stat, making you a complete tank. Then if your seemingly impenetrable defense is comprised, and you do die, the Phoenix Ring will kick into gear and revive you with 50% of your health restored. It’s basically a combo that acts as the ultimate security blanket when exploring dangerous areas, and one well worth forging.
2The Itemfinder Ring
Iridium Band
Emits light, acts as magnet and boosts attack by 10%
As you get through the majority ofStardew Valley’scontent and get down to the nitty-gritty stuff in the late-game, there will come a time when you need to acquire a specific item or a lot of the same item to complete a quest or craft a particular asset. This is usually an absolute grind, but with the Iridium Thief combo, the grind becomes a little less of a burden.
The Iridium Band offers its trio of abilities, which lights the area, attracts items to your person with its magnet ability, and also gives the player a 10% boost to their overall attack power. Then you have the Burglar Ring, which increases the chances of item drops, meaning you won’t have to kill quite as many enemies to meet your quota. So, if you’re in search of a particular item drop, this is the ring combo you need to equip.
1Here Comes The Boom Ring
Napalm Ring
Causes enemies to explode upon death
Then, to wrap things up, we have the most bombastic, explosive, and helpful combo on the list. What I call the ‘Here Comes The Boom Ring’ is a ring that combines the Iridium Band, complete with its added attack power and utilities, with the Napalm Ring, a ring that causes defeated enemies to explode, destroying all nearby rocks and debris, as well as harming any enemies nearby too.
This is an excellent combo for exploring and getting down floors in the mines fast, and it’s also a great ring for crowd control situations and gathering resources like Gems and Minerals. It’s a real all-rounder, and a fun one to use due to the endless explosions you’ll cause. So, to avoid crafting an endless supply ofBomb, and be a force to be reckoned with, equip this ring and watch the sparks fly.
