Cursed Ring - Anyone Use It?
« on: September 19, 2008, 09:33:07 AM »
I finally broke down and went on GameFAQs to find out what this does. Any elemental resistance you have from other equipment turn into 100% absorbs. Great, but in order to make this worthwhile you'd have to have some really great equipment (Adamant Armors, for example, something I've NEVER been able to get. I stocked up on alerts in FFIV PSX, and went to the right spot, fighting the correct monster, and never got a damned pink tail!) to take advantage of it.

In FFIV DS, I already have one, and I just got Edge on my team (I dun remember where I got it, I think I got it around Mt. Ordeals?). Would any of you be so kind as to recommend some usage for this?

It doesn't get much play until you get elemental resistances.. starts with the Gold Hairband @ Mist (not sure if that treasure has changed in FF4DS), Flame Shield/Armor from the Tower of Zot... Ice Shield/Armor from the Tower of Bab-il..., then there's a whole lotta Lightning resistant armor @ Tomra and at the Land of Summoned Monsters.

Normally speaking (in terms of FF4 in general), it's a niche piece of equipment, probably better for boss battles.

Before FF4A, the Immune property had precedence over Absorb... the reverse in true in FF4A.

It's more useful in the DS version because of battle script tweaks; I equip it on Cecil along with the proper shield anywhere with enemies that use strong multi-target elemental attacks in that version. If nothing else equip it when you fight red dragons at the end of the game, their thermal rays skill can be devastating, even at level 80.
