I mean even in the lore the ring is specifically used to extend the durability of katanas, and it's pretty useful to that extent since they have so little

I wouldn’t say it’s entirely useless. Washing pole only has 20 durability so this ring could help out a little.

why are there even 3 different tiers of this thing? why not the black wood grain ring?

Yes I know the downsides of this, but why not just slap on all 3 rings and have +90% to durability for the hell of it. Or better yet, get a three friends on NG++ to gift your NG++ character their rings, slap on 4 and boom, Stormruler with 26 durability. XD

Kinda pointless now that weapons are no longer made of wet cardboard

Does this still change your rolling animation like it did in the original dark souls?

Durability and Poise really the most weird non functional mechanic in DS3.

In DS2 weapons were breaking at alarming rate. IN DS3 you can use weapon with 20 durability and it will rarely even give you message about durability running out (which also means you have damage penalty). Weapon with 25 durability have more than enough to make you forget what repair powder was about.

It's basically for W.A that cost Durability or for Katana style weapons. There's a few exceptions with very low durability. Otherwise it appears DkS3 was going to keep DkS1's repair system because it's too slow to matter with "Bonfire repair" anyways.

Hands down, the most useful item in the entire game.
Edit: I accidentally pressed the wrong wiki page.

Durability is a joke in Dark Souls 3, and so is this ring. They have never managed to get durability right. In DS2 your weapons were apparently made of wet toilet paper, and in DS3 there are so many bonfires I've never had a weapon break or even get close to breaking. They should have selected a different mechanic.
Perhaps weapons would have limited durability over a lifetime before needing to be taken to the blacksmith for refurbishing. So you might use a broadsword, for instance, for say, 15 - 20 fights of a few minutes each, and then only the blacksmith could fix 'em up right. Remove the ability to have them fixed up at bonfires entirely. Repair powder should be more useful as an item, and you have to come back to the Shrine on a fairly regular basis anyway.

Actually decent for RADICAL KATANA EDGY BOIZZZ!
I'm not promoting them I'm just supporting them, because things do get better in high school.
But what do I know, I'm just a sarcastic, salty casul that can't for the life of him fight katanas.

As good of a ring this is, this won't save your Rings of Sacrifice from breaking.

*looks at great club*
*280 durability*
"yeah i could definitely use the extra durability"
If you plan to use the Storm Ruler for PvP, then this ring is a must because the Storm Ruler barely has 10 durability.
this should give infinite durability IMO. would still be useless and not worth equipping, but at least it'd be slightly closer to being good.

Although the Moonlight greatsword is quite trash, and not that fun. This ring boots it quite a bit allowing you to use it properly, it's not advised though, use a proper weapon and a proper ring slot, something useful, like reversal ring.

As far As applying this ring to playstyle it really only shines with very few items. It makes the frayed blade actually decent enough to use so it doesn't break with that lame ass 20 durability

Most worthless ring in ds3. Played 200+ hours and have yet to break any item.

Unless you plan to use moonlight sword, don't bother to equip this thing. Durability in this game is almost infinite, even for a katana.

It's mainly useful for DEX builds, since they get a lot of good weapons with crap durability. Uchigatana, Onikiri, Darkdrift, and Chaos Blade all have 35 durability, so the ring helps with not consuming souls for Repair Powder, and not forcing Repair as a focal point.

Does this ring reduce the durability loss from the mlgs heavy attack?

Compared to the wafer-like consistency of DS2 weapons (OLD WHIP FTW), DS3 weapons are comparatively indestructible no matter what their flavor text or durability ratings say. So yeah, screw this ring. Give us the Dark Wood Grain Ring, then we'll talk.

Cry more and I promise you the day will come when all Katanas have the durability of 5.

honestly durability isnt a problem (well katanas...) so Id pick the dark wood grain ring everyday of Fliping the FlipzBut if you really dont rest at bonfires then...Well use the Wood Grain Ring

I wanted to do cartwheels with the DARK wood grain ring, but apparently they didn't put that in Dark Souls 3 because they hate me.

This ring is seriously underrated. I had it stashed in my inventory for an entire playthrough, and none of my equipment ever broke. So effective I didn't even have to wear it.

Where is the +1 version? The description needs a complete overhaul. I'll rework it once I find it.

Other than the very few rings that have purley detrimental effects, I'd probably consider this to be the worst. Durability is hardly an issue, as it gets repaired everytime you visit a bonfire. If you really have problems with durability, buy some repair powder or MAYBE get the repair spell.

The Ring page shows a different location for the +1 version than this page, both of with are not very helpful anyway.
