A ring of brass and glass is a ring with no magical power. Its enchantment does not provide a generic attack or armor bonus, and a cursed copy can still become stuck in a ring slot.[1]
Generation
It is an item-level-0 random ring, available in ordinary loot, pawn-shop stock and acquirement. It receives ordinary randomized enchantment and blessing even though neither gives it a useful worn power.[2]
Its appearance is shuffled like other rings. A brass ring or glass ring is not necessarily this type, and a valuable-looking gemstone does not rule it out.[3]
Description
| Condition | Result |
|---|---|
| Noncursed and worn | Occupies a ring slot without granting a magical benefit; can be removed normally |
| Cursed and worn | Still no magical benefit, but ordinary removal is blocked |
| Higher enchantment or blessing | Does not add a magical ability |
Its empty effect does not identify the type. Lack of a message on equipping is not proof that an unknown ring is brass and glass: some useful immunity effects are also silent.[4]
Strategy
Once identified, reserve the four ring slots for useful powers. Do not spend enchantment merely hoping to awaken a hidden ability. The item has a small base value and may be sold or discarded according to your needs, but it should not be confused with a useful ring whose magic has been stripped: ordinary re-enchantment does not restore those lost powers either.[5]
Use identification before a wearing test. Even a ring with no useful effect is inconvenient when cursed and stuck, and an uneventful test does not reliably distinguish it from fire or gaze protection.[6]
