This page contains a list of all the types of rings in ADOM. Rings are worn under gauntlets, which means that cursed gauntlets prevent equipping or unequipping rings. Rings are also protected from most types of item destruction while any type of gauntlets are equipped. However, melee attacks can still occasionally damage or destroy rings that grant PV bonuses. Divine retribution and the special destruction cases for rings of karmic absorption and the ring of the master cat are also unaffected by gauntlets. All rings weigh 1s.

While equipped, iron rings will cause 0.5 points of damage per turn to mist elf PCs. Iron rings are marked with a gray background in the list below. However, since rings don't come pre-identified, the following appearances are made of iron: agate, aquamarine, electrum, emerald, fire opal, iron, plain, topaz, vibrating.

All listed effects are active when rings are equipped. This page uses default values for +x bonuses (unless specifically noted) for common rings, actual numbers may vary.
