From soft really nerfed the crap out of this ring. You could have two per play through, and could be repaired for 3000 souls each. Now you can only have one, and it costs 14,000 souls to repair.

They really nerfed this rinng in SotFS
It only cost 3000 souls to upgrade in Dark Souls 2 and you could have up to 3 of them

the devs really erfed the holy shoot out of this. it has only cost 3000 to repair and you could have 3 of them! now you only have one and it costs 14,000 to repair!

If the ring is broken, it can be repaired free at the magical pagan tree (if you own the dlc and have access to shulva).

does this ring protect from Darksign loss?

Infinite farming at shaded woods. I think I have close to twenty so I'm always human and never lose souls. Also the cost of the dlc is worth it so just buy the original game to keep repair cost reasonable as these rings completely change the game.

Is there a functional difference between this ring and the Ring of Soul Protection?

Thank you for the information, I was wondering how effective the ring was and how long it lasts, whether it broke immediatly or not, now I don't have to try, thank you.

how do you get the rings in wharf and the woods? woods has it listed, but doesn't say how to get it, and wharf doesn't even list it
