SK Jewelry

[nawtcho]

I'm a 22 SK and I'm completely drawing a blank on what I used to wear back in 2000, but if anyone could tell me what kind of Jewelry I should be seeking out, or even better if you can make it and sell it to me that would be great. Message me here or in game, name is Lithsyss. Thanks

The ubiquitous Platinum Fire Wedding Rings (5 AC, 55 HP) are probably the only jewelry pieces worth seeking out until you can afford/need black sapphire jewelry and diamond/blue diamond resist gear. These generally run 500pp for a pair and are the best bang for the buck item you can have as a tank class.

There are some other jewelcrafted items that give +STR and other stats, but as an SK you are almost always better off going for AC and HP.

Thanks for the info. Definitely remember wearing those rings. Now to find someone to buy em from

should be a cinch, lots of people sell them.

Probably the best rings for priest classes, too. Or at least decent choices.

I got myself a Jagged Band, Ring of Goblin Lords, and a pair of Sapphire Electrum Earrings all for less than people pay for a pair of the Wedding Rings.

At this time, I think I can get more benefit from spending my money on other slots. I'm also a Dark Elf, so strength makes these early levels much more bearable. I craft a lot, too, so the intelligence can't hurt. Not sure if I'll upgrade to the Wedding Rings later or if I'll just skip over them.

If I decide to hang out in Mistmoore, I'll try to collect a pair of Diamondine Earrings while I hunt for other gear. Otherwise, I might just run down to Kunark and hope for Sarnak Earrings of Station to appear.

5/55 rings are definitely the best value for money. Not only are they essentially the only low-price item with a decent amount of hp on, but you also never really need to upgrade them.

Agreed that they're a great value. Here's how I look at it:

Should I pay 400pp to turn 6 STR and 3 INT into 1 AC and 110 HP?
Or should I turn two or three pieces of Banded into Sebilite Scale? (Perhaps gaining 11 AC, 4 STA, 8 INT, 4 SVM, 2 SVC, and 2SVD?)

Somebody simply gave me the Jagged Band, and I got the Goblin ring for 30pp. They're that cheap. If we're talking strictly about bang for the buck, the Wedding Rings can't compete with that. Yes, they're better, and yes, I'll probably get them later.
