Sage Ring | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

How hard would it have been for them to implement the ds2 casting speed as a visible stat...? Kinda cringe

Submit

To all the doubters out there, the ring has a noticeable difference when lobbing a fireball. For a dummy keyboardplayer like me its a must until 40 dex.

Submit

Is the ring's virtual DEX conditional on a sorcery spell being equipped / cast or is it a permanent buff that makes casting pyromancies faster as well ? It's the virtual DEX that's throwing me I don't remember seeing that anywhere else.

Serious question: why play a caster when the PKCS exists?

Submit

The ring location on this page is very complicated and perplexing. The ring is located underneath the ruins before the Crystal Sage boss, which can be accessed by the hole in the 1st floor (the room where you summon Eygon) or from the tunnel that is accessed from the swamp below to the right.

Question:
So this ring is completely useless once you’ve reached dex lvl 50? (I‘m doing a dex/int build and thought this ring is helpful but I’ve already reached lvl 50 dex)

Submit

Won't the bellvine be just as effective? That paired with a high damaging catalyst for pure casters.

Submit

The difference between spell casting at lvl 45 dexterity and: 1.- lvl 20 dexterity + sage ring +1; 2.- lvl 15 dexterity + sage ring +2; 3.- lvl 10 dexterity + sage ring +3; 4.- lvl 50 dexterity is, exactly ----> 0,023 second.

I proved the time of spell casting at 45 dexterity and the highest spell casting cap using super slow motion clips. Hope it helps anyone.

I might sound like an absolute dumb*** but does this affect Carthus Flame Arc?

Submit

I see so many complaining about dexterity and cast time... It only takes 10 and a ring to hit cap. It's not that bad... To anyone that says "spells are too slow to be viable." GIT GUD SCRUB.

Dark souls 1:we should tie casting speed to a non-magic stat

Dark souls 2: that is dumb. We should tie casting speed to a magic stat and to the catalyst being used to cast the spell.

Dark souls 3: nah bro that makes to much sense. Were making casting speed influenced by dexterity again.

Submit

It's a piece of crap

Submit

I'm sorry to need to ask this but is this really a necessary ring for casters? The casting time difference is so minuscule it feels like a wasted slot. Taking the rings off and putting them on, I can barely tell any difference. The time is milliseconds different at best and I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference from my personal experience. Just kinda hate how casters of any kind are boiled down to using only one actual ring since the other 3 slots are necessary for whatever they're casting i.e. Morne's RIng and Ring of the Sun's First Born for Miracles, plus the Sage Ring.

Submit

Since this ring is run by almost every caster in the game, a neat little strat you can do in PvP is throw out a couple soul spears with this on so your opponent gets the timing, and then take it off. Most players will roll predictively and therefore too early, taking your spell to the face. Fun little mind game to play around with.

Submit

everyone, needing the +2 ring, me: laughs in astora greatsword build

Submit

Does this affect on WA with casts, more specifically does this shorten the cast and recovery time of The Twin Princes GS?

Submit

"Hey, let's tie casting speed to a stat pure casters won't upgrade."

Submit

Anyone have a +2 version that they are willing to trade with. I'm at SL60 on ps4

Submit

Would be nice if they also put 'weak' starting spells' casting speed so we have something to compare to WoG

Submit

Wish I knew of this ring’s benefits in my previous 6 journeys, bleh

Submit

So my pyro build doesn't have to wear this anymore with 60 dexterity?

Submit

This ring is so badly needed by every caster, but the best version is only available in NG++. Thanks From.

Submit

So I accidentally sold my +1 Sage Ring and I need it for the Master of Rings achievement and personally for my build. Anyone willing to trade? I'll upgrade any weapon of your choice to max for that ring. My gamertag on Xbox is Tetsacrey to whoever is interested.

Submit

Anyone knows if it works with dark hand's life drain?

OOGA BOOGA

I went to the Spots where the rings are and they are not there hellllp

Added in references to 50 Dex cast speed cap and combinations required to reach it. Mentioned Saint-tree & Witchtree as alternatives. Reformatted for ease of reading.

Submit

Why would you ever bother getting a +1/+2 version when the casting time Dex cap is 40

Submit

Does anyone have this ring? Can someone trade it with me? Let me know if you need anything. My psn is AhmadQ1995

Submit

Does this affect casting time of weapon buffs as well?

Submit

WHAT IF you have 99 dex already, would this ring decreases your spell casting time?

Submit

so i can have 10 dex with sage ring+2 and have max cast speed?

Submit

Cast times shouldn't be based on rings or stats, they should be a factor yout think about when using a certain staff.

Submit

one of the many cases where an implemented working trading mechanic would be a bliss. I have multiple chars, all melee builds owning this ring among many other useless rings. Imagine if I could trade it against something usefull for them like covenant items, armour, weapons or boss souls. Imagine a table or a box where two people make their offer, agree to it and only then the item transfer would be happening. Simple and save. Not even a online market with ups and downs, just a place where two people can trade s***!

Submit

I was getting scared thinking that my STR/INT build will need NG++ for it to work good... but NG version means you only need 10 DEX to max it out right? so are all the other versions of the ring practically useless if you have 10 DEX???

Submit

So if you have 20 Dex does the plus 2 version give you faster casting speed than the original or plus 1 version or are they all maxed out at the same timing?

Submit

Small detail, it says decreasing instead of increasing

Submit

If I have 20 dex and equip the base ring, does that give me max casting speed?

Submit

The ring infact does affect healing miracles very significantly (You can hear it in how fast the chime dings) a combat healer very much should consider this ringWeapon buffs gain 0 benefit from this ring, you won't be buffing any faster with thisIt also affects lightning spears, though the effect is less noticeable, it was like a 4 frame difference with cap dex vs 14

Submit

In terms of ring choices, it may make more sense for a pure caster to get their dex to 40 in order to free another ring slot after NG+.

Submit

The +2 ring allows to never level up DEX and still have fastest spell cast speed. Praise the pure casters!

Submit

If I have lvl 50 Dex the cap for casting speed does this ring become useless

Submit

PSA: You don't have to jump to get the +2 version, you can run off the end of the staircase and you should land on the bottom of the one with the ring

Submit

if i accidentally sold it on my first run, will it be there in new game +?

Submit

It would be interesting to see what the gain per level in dexterity would be for cast speed, but if I'm reading this right the ring + 20 dex = maximum cast speed reduction? So if you get the +2 ring, you only need 10 dex to get minimum casting time? 10 points is pretty valuable, but there's no mention of a soft cap for virtual dexterity, just that 50 is the "cap." I assume that means hard cap? Although everything else has both a soft cap and a hard cap, so yeah it would be nice to be able to run the numbers somehow. It might be that the benefit you get from a +2 ring over a +1 ring is negligible, giving you more stats to play with.

Submit

I can't find a way to jump to the +2 version in consumed kings garden

Submit

Hi guys. I think its better write the item location is closer "Crucifixion woods" bonfire, more specifically.[T]/ |O|

Submit

Does this work on pyromancy spells?

Submit

effectively "decreasing" your casting speed? man this website is something else

Submit

Does this make pryomancy and cleric spells faster as well

Submit

a better and shorter version of where this ring is

Submit

I'm at 20-25 dex with this ring on and feel like I don't see even the slightest change.However, Pyro and sorceries are very noticeable changes.

Submit

What is the max speed? If i have the +2 ring, how much dex i need to have max speed?

Submit

Submit

on heavy soul arrow aprox. 2s cast time, this ring and dex around 20 shave off 0,5 second. which means 25%.this also means adding 8 points (12-20) to dex gives around 10% reduction in cast time, I hope somebody could make detailed analysis soon.Least to say spells got from useless during a fight to usable on right timing.

Submit

Does this work with the Pyromancy Flame and reduce the time to cast pyromancies?

Sage Ring +2 can be found in NG+2 (NG3) in the Oceirus area right after Sword Dancer:drop down from the elevator, drop down on the broken stairs and jump across

Submit

Any word yet on how much of an increase the item gives, and if the cast speed increase is % based or a fixed frame value?

Submit

Found in the wooded area when you leave through the bottom of the tower you meet the Catalina guy in, as you go through the wooded area you'll come to a bonfire that has 2 large crab enemies near it, the ring is in a room near that bonfire, go into the water and look for an opening in the brick wall, there is one enemy guarding it (one of those things with a Cross on its back)

Submit

This looks useful, hopefully mages can get it early. Fast cast from dexterity or catalysts are likely to be minimal.
