**Ring of Elements** is a ring in Remixed Dungeon that provides resistance to various elemental and magical effects, and reduces the duration of negative status effects.

===== Description =====
This ring provides resistance to different elements, such as fire, electricity, gases etc. Also it decreases duration of negative effects.

===== Effects =====
  * Provides resistance to elemental and magical attacks
  * Reduces damage from elemental sources
  * Provides protection against status effects from magical sources
  * Reduces duration of negative status effects

===== Stats =====
  * **Primary Effect:** Resistance to elemental effects (chance-based, increases with level)
  * **Secondary Effect:** Reduced effect duration from negative status effects ((2 + 0.5*level) / (2 + level))
  * **Upgrade Benefits:** Higher upgrades provide stronger resistance chance and duration reduction

===== Mechanics =====
  * Resistance effect chance: Random chance of (level + 3) >= 3, meaning for positive levels (or 0), the ring always provides resistance
  * Duration factor: (2 + 0.5 * level) / (2 + level) - with positive levels, this reduces duration of debuffs
  * The ring provides resistance against: Burning, ToxicGas, Poison, LightningTrap.Electricity, Warlock, Eye, BurningFist, LiquidFlame
  * At level 0 or higher, resistance is always active

===== Acquisition =====
  * Found in treasure rooms
  * May be sold in shops in later levels
  * Sometimes obtained as quest rewards

===== Strategy =====
  * Extremely valuable against magic-using enemies and elemental attacks
  * Helps against various status effects and elemental traps
  * Particularly valuable for classes that face many magical enemies
  * Good for players who frequently encounter elemental hazards
  * Provides consistent protection against common debuffs when upgraded

===== Identification =====
  * Like all rings, starts unidentified and must be identified
  * Effects become clearer after identification
  * Quality affects the strength of the resistance

===== Data Validation =====
  * Resisted Elements (Java): The Resistance class specifically protects against Burning, ToxicGas, Poison, LightningTrap.Electricity, Warlock, Eye, BurningFist, and LiquidFlame classes
  * Resistance Chance Formula: ''Random.Int( level() + 3 ) >= 3'' - meaning at level 0 or above, resistance is always active
  * Duration Factor Formula: ''(2 + 0.5f * level()) / (2 + level())'' - reduces negative effect duration with higher levels
  * String Resources: ''RingOfElements_Info'' in strings_all.xml
  * Gem Name Resources: ''Ring_Gems'' array in strings_all.xml defines the gem name displayed in the ring's name
