Rings are an item type that provides various passive bonuses. Up to 2 rings can be worn at any time - one on the ring slot, and one on the slot shared with artifacts.
Although several of the rings in Shattered Pixel Dungeon kept the same name from the original game, the effects of most of them are at least slightly modified. Additionally, all rings now provide an effect even if they're at base +0 level.
The severity of cursed ring's power depends on their upgrade level. And even though there are no more cursed items with negative upgrades in Shattered PD, cursed rings will mimic that effect on low levels:
- +0 rings will act as -3
- +1 rings will act as -2
- +2 rings will act as -1
- +3 and higher rings will provide no effect.
Rings are automatically identified after gaining one level's worth of experience while wearing it. [1]
Rings[]
Ring of Accuracy []
- Modified Ring of Accuracy
| ||
| This ring increases your focus, making it easier for your attacks to find their mark. A cursed ring will instead make it harder for your attacks to connect. When worn, this ring will increase your accuracy by X%. | ||
This ring boosts your accuracy, increasing the chance to hit with melee attacks and thrown weapons.

Ring of Arcana[]
| Ring of Arcana | ||
| This ring enhances magical enchantments on weapons and glyphs on armor, including curses! It first increases activation chance, and then increases the strength of the effect once activation chance is 100%. A cursed ring will instead weaken enchantments, glyphs, and curses. When worn, this ring will increase the power of enchantments and glyphs by X%. | ||
This ring increases proc rate of enchantments, glyphs and curses on weapons and armor, the multiplier stacks with Enraged Catalyst. If the proc chance exceeds 100% or the enchantment/glyph always procs by default, the rings now increases power of the effect (damage dealt by Blazing, extra reach given by Projecting, etc.). In case of Projecting specifically, the extra reach is rounded to the nearest whole number, so the ring needs to be at least +2 to have any effect.

Ring of Elements[]
- Modified Ring of Elements
| ||
| This ring provides resistance to most elemental and magical effects, decreasing damage and debuff duration. Naturally a cursed ring will instead worsen these effects. When worn, this ring will provide X% elemental resistance. | ||
This ring directly reduces the duration and damage taken from debuffs.

Ring of Energy[]
| ||
| Your magical equipment will recharge more quickly in the arcane field that radiates from this ring. A cursed ring will instead slow recharge. When worn, this ring will increase wand, artifact, and heroic armor charge speed by Y%. | ||
This ring directly reduces the amount of time it takes to recharge 1 charge for wands and the Mage's staff. It also reduces the amount of time it takes for artifacts and the armor ability.

+100% represents halved recharge time.
Ring of Evasion []
- Modified Ring of Evasion
| ||
| This ring quickens the wearer's reactions, making it harder to land blows on them. A cursed ring will instead make the user easier to strike. When worn, this ring will increase your evasion by X%. | ||
The Hero's natural (unmodified) evasion is multiplied, making them harder to hit.

Ring of Force[]
| ||
| This ring enhances the force of the wearer's blows. This extra power is largely wasted when wielding weapons, but an unarmed attack will be made much stronger. A degraded ring will instead weaken the wearer's blows. When unarmed, at your current strength, this ring will deal X-Y damage. With a weapon equipped, this ring will increase damage by Z. | ||
Essentially a weapon in a ring form. Unarmed attacks are treated as an attack from an equivalent weapon of tier (str − 8) / 2 with a single bonus upgrade.
Upgrades to a ring are treated the same as a weapon upgrades, adding bonus damage of level - level * (tier + 1).
The damage range of each tier is tier - ((tier + 1) * 5). After the Hero attains 18 strength, the tier is instead calculated as (str + 2) / 4. It can be easily identified by the Duelist as it gives you the brawler's stance weapon ability.
| Tier | Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 | Tier 4 | Tier 5 | Tier 6 | Tier 7 | Tier 8 | Tier X |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 22* | 26** | 30** | X * 4 - 2 |
| Damage (level 0 ring) | 2 - 12 | 3 - 18 | 4 - 24 | 5 - 30 | 6 - 36 | 7 - 42 | 8 - 48 | 9 - 54 | X+1 to 6*(X+1) |
| Notes | *Achievable with Warrior Tier 3 Talents **Achievable with Ring of Might | ||||||||
When the hero is using a weapon, the ring instead increases the melee weapon's damage by ringLevel + 1.
Ring of Furor[]
- Modified Ring of Haste
| ||
| This ring grants the wearer an inner fury, allowing them to attack more rapidly. A cursed ring will instead slow the wearer's speed of attack. When worn, this ring will increase the speed of your attacks by X%. | ||
This ring simply increases the Hero's attack speed, be it melee or ranged by a certain percentage.
| −3 | −2 | −1 | +0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +7 | +N |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.84 | 0.92 | 1.0 | 1.09 | 1.19 | 1.3 | 1.41 | 1.54 | 1.68 | 1.83 | 2.0 | 1.09051N+1 |
While the ring provides a decent damage increase, you are usually better off upgrading your weapon when you only care about damage. To see how many upgrades you should put into a weapon before upgrading the ring, check the Weapon-Furor upgrade split tool (v2.0). However, this ring can make your enchantment and other on hit effect proc much more frequently and generate combo points much faster if you are playing as the Gladiator. It's also very powerful for the Huntress, as it can directly boost the damage output of her spirit bow, just like a ring of sharpshooting.
A+4 ring almost precisely cancels the slowness of a Spear/Glaive or Damage Augment. This removes their big disadvantage of attacks taking more than 1 turn.
Ring of Haste[]
- Modified Ring of Haste
| ||
| This ring reduces the stress of movement on the wearer, allowing them to run at superhuman speeds. A degraded ring will instead weigh the wearer down. When worn, this ring will increase your movement speed by X%. | ||
This ring increases user's movement speed, enabling them to easily escape from many dangers. It also makes it easier to attack the enemy from a safe distance. The effect stacks with other speed-boosting methods.
| −3 | −2 | −1 | +0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +7 | +N |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.69 | 5∕6 | 1 | 11∕5 | 1.44 | 1.73 | 2.07 | 2.49 | 2.99 | 3.58 | 4.3 | 6∕5N+1 |
It's worth noting that a +0 ring cancels the speed penalty imposed by wearing an armor that's one strength point too heavy for you, and each successive upgrade on the ring will allow it to cancel the speed penalty from an additional point of encumbrance; a +3 ring will allow a Hero with 10 strength to equip +0 mail armor with no speed penalty (but it won't block anything due to the strength deficit, however).
At +3, the wearer will be able to kite even fast enemies like sewer crabs and vampire bats.
Ring of Might[]
| ||
| This ring enhances the physical traits of the wearer, granting them greater physical strength and constitution. A degraded ring will weaken the wearer. When worn, this ring will increase your strength by X and your max HP by Y%. | ||
Equipping a ring of might increases your strength and adds a multiplier to your health.
| −3 | −2 | −1 | +0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +N | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Health× | 0.93 | 0.97 | 1 | 1.03 | 1.07 | 1.11 | 1.15 | 1.19 | 1.23 | 1.27 | 1.035N+1 |
| Strength+ | −2 | −1 | 0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +7 | N+1 |
This ring can easily be identified by checking your strength and HP for any sudden increases when equipped. It's arguably one of the most harmful cursed rings to equip, for a +0 cursed ring will reduce your strength by 2, forcing you to effectively downgrade your equipment or suffer massive encumbrance penalties.
Ring of Sharpshooting[]
| ||
| This ring enhances the wearer's precision and aim, which will make all projectile weapons more damaging and durable. A cursed ring will have the opposite effect. When worn, this ring will boost the damage of your thrown weapons as if their level was increased by X, and will increase their durability by Y%. | ||
While this does not increase accuracy, it instead effectively upgrades your thrown weapons, giving them boosted damage and durability. The damage boost is the same as what they would get regularly through upgrading them directly, but the durability boost is smaller. It's also very powerful for the Huntress, as it can directly boost the damage output of her spirit bow.
At +9, most thrown weapons gain effectively unlimited uses.
| −3 | −2 | −1 | +0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +N | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | −2 | −1 | +0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +7 | N+1 |
| Durability | −30.6% | −16.7% | +0% | +20% | +44% | +72.8% | +107% | +148% | +198% | +258% | ×1.2N+1 |
Ring of Tenacity[]
| ||
| When worn, this ring will allow the wearer to resist normally mortal strikes. The more injured the user is, the more resistant they will be to damage. A degraded ring will instead make it easier for enemies to execute the wearer. When worn, this ring will reduce the damage you take by up to X%. | ||
This ring grants the Hero resistance to all forms of damage proportional to how low their health is. The exact resistance depending on ring level and missing health can be seen in this graph.
It's worth noting that the resistance is applied after armor and the damage is rounded up and thus it will never be reduced to 0. This makes it very difficult to use this ring effectively as you have to be on low health to get a significant damage reduction. It however synergizes well with the Berserker subclass or a vampiric weapon, as they benefit from staying at low health and provide additional survivability.
Ring of Wealth[]
| ||
| It's not clear what this ring does exactly, good luck may influence the life of an adventurer in many subtle ways. Naturally a degraded ring would give bad luck. When worn, this ring will increase your luck by X%. | ||
Unlike other rings, this ring doesn't boost Hero's attributes, nor does it empower any of their equipment. Instead, it causes enemies to drop items more often and, every once in a while, allows the wearer to find an unexpected loot after killing an enemy or opening a container.
| −3 | −2 | −1 | +0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +N |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.695 | 0.8 | 1.0 | 1.2 | 1.44% | 1.728 | 2.074 | 2.488 | 2.986 | 3.583 | 1.2N+1 |
This makes enemy drops significantly more common or even guaranteed. On the other hand, a cursed ring of wealth can prevent a normally guaranteed drop from spawning. This fortunately doesn't affect quest items and drops from bosses.
The more interesting part about the ring of wealth, however, is its reward system. The ring of wealth has an invisible counter, which starts at a random number between 0 and 20, chosen using normal distribution. The counter counts down by 15 when a boss is killed, 5 when a miniboss is killed and by 1 when any other enemy is killed or a container is looted. When it reaches 0, a random reward is dropped. This can be either a piece of equipment (every 5 to 10 drops) or a consumable (the rest of time). The drop is accompanied by a flash of light with the color depending on the quality of the reward.
Consumable drops
The ring of wealth provides a vast variety of consumables; ones found in the dungeon as well as ones only obtainable through alchemy. Depending on how valuable they are, consumable drops can be of low, medium or high quality. Low quality drops are accompanied by a green flash, medium quality ones by a blue flash and high quality ones by a purple flash.
Low quality drops:
- Gold pile (50% less gold), random Runestone, random Potion, random Scroll
Medium quality drops:
- 2 random low quality drops, exotic variant of a random Potion, exotic variant of a random Scroll, Arcane or Alchemical Catalyst, Bomb, Honeypot
High quality drops:
- 2 random medium quality drops, Potion of Experience, Scroll of Transmutation, Stone of Enchantment

| High | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 26 | 28 | 10 + 2n |
Equipment drops
The ring of wealth can produce a random weapon (twice as common as other equipment types), armor, ring or artifact, but never a wand. Equipment drops are accompanied by a purple flash just like a high-value consumable drop, and +2 or higher level items have an orange one.
Equipment generated by a +0 ring has the same likelihood of being upgraded or enchanted as one randomly generated in the dungeon, but it can never be cursed. If the ring is upgraded, equipment items other than artifacts have increased minimum upgrade level. This level can become higher than the default level cap of 2, allowing the ring to generate items with level +3 or even higher. Weapons and armors also have a boosted chance to have an enchantment or a glyph.
Additionally, each ring of wealth upgrade increases the floor used for calculating item tiers for rewards by 1, which makes higher tier weapons and armor more likely to drop the more the ring is upgraded.
| +0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 | +5 | +6 | +7 | +8 | +9 | +n | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minumum level | +0 | +1 | +1 | +2 | +2 | +3 | +3 | +4 | +4 | +5 | (1 + n)/2 |
| Enchantment chance (%) | 10 | 19 | 28 | 37 | 46 | 55 | 64 | 73 | 82 | 91 | 10 + 9n |
| Glyph chance (%) | 15 | 24 | 32 | 41 | 49 | 58 | 66 | 75 | 83 | 92 | 15 + 8.5n |
A second Ring of Wealth can contribute no more than 2 levels (i.e. a +1 ring) when calculating wealth bonus for dropped equipment equips. This is to prevent it being possible to endlessly increase Ring of Wealth level by farming pairs of high level Rings of Wealth.
