Ring Upgrades

Ring upgrades are enhancement levels that increase the base stats and effects of rings in Remixed Dungeon.

Upgrade Mechanics

Rings can be upgraded to improve their performance:

  • Positive Upgrades - Each positive level increases the ring's effectiveness
  • Negative Upgrades - Each negative level decreases the ring's effectiveness
  • Curses - Negative effects that can be applied to rings (removed when upgrading)

Positive Upgrades

Each positive upgrade level provides:

  • Increased potency of ring's special effect
  • For example, Ring of Accuracy provides better hit chance with higher upgrades
  • Ring of Evasion provides better dodge chance with higher upgrades
  • No change to resource costs or charges used

Negative Upgrades

Negative upgrades result in:

  • Reduced effectiveness of ring's special effect
  • For example, Ring of Accuracy provides worse hit chance with negative upgrades
  • Lower overall performance in ring's specialized area

Acquisition

  • Scroll of Upgrade - Applies a single upgrade level to any upgradable item (weapon, armor, ring)
    • Also removes curses from the item
    • Does not add special properties to rings
  • Shop purchases - Occasionally found in higher-level shops
  • Treasure drops - Higher-level rings may spawn upgraded

Code References

Strategy

  • Identify which rings are most beneficial to your playstyle
  • Prioritize upgrading rings that significantly impact your gameplay
  • For rings with high upgrade levels, ensure you can meet any additional requirements
  • Consider that upgrading a cursed ring will remove the curse

Preservation

  • Scroll of Remove Curse - Can remove curses but doesn't directly downgrade rings
  • Upgrading removes curses from rings automatically
