where it says "Players can easily shuffle their character abilities around after receiving them by simply taking the rings off and wearing different ones", maybe you could stick "(only in the Null Chamber)" as a quick reminder, plus it's not listed anywhere on the Ring page, though is information people may want to know. I see lots of "how I do I change rings?" questions from new players, and in this wiki, that should be listed on the ring page. plus a quick link to Ring Sets (http://zomg.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Ring_Sets) should be listed, like "Certain Ring Sets boost stats". lying Lying 21:20, 10 November 2008 (UTC) / did I do the signing thing correctly? edit: actually you can only take them off/upgrade/salvage in the Null Chamber, but you can put them on or move them around even when not in it.
I'm not quite sure where this information should go[]
We dug up some info from the forums and I need to know if i should put it on each ring page separately or create a new page related to it. Even if I end up sorting this out, I'm going to post it all here for safe keeping. All of this is attributed to Atriz. [[1]]

-Comparisons-
Melee Single-Attack Rings: HACK vs. MANTIS vs. BUMP
These three rings have very similar attributes. All contain relatively short stamina costs, but you can afford to Mantis twice for every Hack. At an early CL (sources suggest around CL 3), Hack begins to do significantly more damage than Mantis. Hack has a fairly long cooldown, but this makes up for some of the stamina cost. Bump, through all this, has a weaker attack but a strong knockback (the only feature it brings to the table). If you want a strong attack ring, then Hack is for you. Mantis is a close second still doing high amounts of damage on a regular basis. Bump brings up there rear serving as a more useful boss or crew attack due to knockback.
Melee Splash-Attack Rings: DERVISH vs. SLASH
Blahblahblah. Coming soon.
Ranged Single-Attack Rings: SHARK ATTACK vs. SOLAR RAYS vs. HUNTERS BOW vs. SHURIKEN vs. HOT FOOT vs "GUNS, GUNS GUNS"
Blahblahblah. Coming soon.
AOE Attack Rings: FIRE RAIN vs. HORNET'S NEST vs. HEAVY WATER BALLOON
Blahblahblah. Coming soon.
Single Healing Rings: BANDAGE vs. WISH vs. MEAT
These three rings have very different effects. Bandage can target yourself or allies, a very big positive when choosing a healing ring. Though the health is regenerated over time, it's a rather quick period of time. Wish regenerates a sizable bit of health to an ally, but cannot be used on yourself. Both have speedy cooldowns, so I'd place Bandage before Wish. If your main goal is to heal allies however, build up Wish instead. Meat is almost a ring with a classification of it's own. It doesn't really "heal" but instead increases your maximum HP. Currently, it's the only ring that can do this and a must-have for all tanks. Don't plan on using it for a healing ring, however; It has a 2 minute cooldown.
AOE Healing Rings: DIAGNOSE vs. HEALING HALO
Not a whole lot of debating here. For group healing, Diagnose is the way to go. Healing Halo increases HP regeneration by a very slight amount, and takes a long time to cooldown. Both rings cost 14 stamina, but Diagnose can heal more HP in a shorter amount of time. The only purposes I see for Healing Halo are to increase your rage meter (as it gives a decent rage bonus) and if you don't feel like using a lot of stamina.
Deflection Rings: TEFLON SPRAY vs. POT LID
Teflon Spray is one of the most adored rings in zOMG, and for good reason. It deflects a sizable amount of damage, and is a great buffer (due to how long the effect lasts and how short the cooldown is). Pot Lid, on the other hand, can only buff yourself. I've heard that it negates a hefty amount of damage, and in conjunction with Teflon Spray, they'd make a nice combination. I'd still put Teflon Spray first, but if you plan to tank, consider both.
Armor Rings: ROCK ARMOR vs. TURTLE
Assuming you read the descriptions above, there isn't much a debate here. Rock Armor is a very weak buffer that provides no other benefits (aside from ally use). Turtle can only be used on yourself, but gives a much higher armor boost. I've used a high level Rock Armor, and witnessed no change at all (the ring is perhaps broken). Though the cooldown/recharge duration on Turtle is substantial, it beats out Rock Armor by a landslide.
Speed Rings: COYOTE SPIRIT vs. FLEET FEET
Two formidable speed boosters; Fleet Feet boosts your speed almost twice as much as Coyote Spirit, but Coyote Spirit lasts longer, much longer. Either way you go, you should notice a valuable difference in speed. I've found high-leveled Coyote Spirits to be more common (as users seem to prefer quick buffers instead of rings with longer cooldowns), but I definitely value both these rings. I personally would choose Fleet Feet first; I keep mine at CL 3.0 and I'm perfectly satisfied with how fast it can get me somewhere.
Dodge Rings: GHOST vs. ADRENALINE
Blahblahblah. Coming soon.
Accuracy Rings: KEEN AYE vs. KNIFE SHARPEN
Blahblahblah. Coming soon.
Crowd Control Rings: DUCT TAPE vs. GUMSHOE vs. QUICKSAND vs. SCAREDY CAT
Blahblahblah. Coming soon.

Bass'ken Lake
DERVISH: You'll often be suddenly mobbed, so 360° damage plus knockback helps. FIRE RAIN: Strong AOE, good to use in conjunction with Dervish. DIAGNOSE: Team heal! You'll probably need to crew often, so this can help in that department.

HACK: Pure damage helps, especially since she has a slight health regeneration. DEFIBRILLATE: People will die. Many times. TEFLON SPRAY: Negates a fair bit of damage, allowing you to tank for a bit. MEAT: The longer you stay alive, the more damage your team can do. GHOST: More dodge means less run, means more attack!

Shallow Seas
DERVISH: Lots of mobs in all directions. Enough said. SHARK ATTACK: Ranged, in case you get stuck by those pesky Brain Clams. TEFLON SPRAY: To deflect some of that damage coming your way.

Rings' Pages[]
Some of the pages for the individual rings differ from the others.
That is a good example as to what all the pages should look like. It's organized and easy to read over. The "Crowd Control", "Defense", "Buff", and "Debuff" rings' pages all need to be changed to match what it looks like on the Guns, Guns, Guns page. In "Buff Rings" , Sweetheart, Fortune's Favor, and Sugar Rush aren't locked so I can make the changes there and hope no one undos my changes.

- I'm aware that the ring pages need to all be changed to follow the same layout, but haven't had time to fix it myself lately.
- Thank you for the friendly reminder though. I will get around to push the changes through ASAP. :3
