If you want other options, the table at the bottom of Stormhalter Lands Progression is always a great reference point.

Items to Target

MA Ring

Your first major upgrade. Take time to set up ring commands—this greatly improves both damage and survivability.

---

Banker’s Ring

As you begin entering NG, gold drops become extremely heavy and will:

• Reduce jumpkick success
• Lower stamina over time
• Make travel more difficult

Your first 1,000,000 gold should go toward a Banker’s Ring from the Underkingdom Jewelry Store.

Once you begin farming Frogs, this ring becomes essential for keeping up with your training costs.

---

Vanilla Endgame Rings

(Glowers, +6 shield rings, etc.)

The Blackburrow Guard Captain can drop:

• Glowers
• +6 shield rings
• +6 shield bracers
• Rare elemental res rings/bracers

If you lack any basic defensive accessories, kill him a few times.
