free rings +3 in invasions

[leya]

Please advise! Some random gave me a couple of rings +3
even though I'm a noob, I like invasions. Does this mean that they will stop throwing me at regular players, they will only throw at unbalanced ones!? And what should I do if this is so, delete the character and create a new one or just throw away the rings?

Most likely someone who worked for the rings for a long time completed the arcivements and gifted them to someone randomly. If you want to work for the arcivement, it would be good if the rings remained. Otherwise, you can collect the +3 rings by playing the dlc. If you ask if it is safe, I would say do not use the rings if you do not own the dlc. In the past, if you did not own the dlc, you were banned. If you do not own the dlc, throw it in the trash and do not use it.

rings do not effect matchmaking, you can keep them with no problems. some folks might say youre breaking progression somewhat by using end game rings early on, but for me, i feel like if youre playing online and enjoying the pvp, and an invader gives you some items, then thats how the progression of your playthru is supposed to be. just like the game "intends" for you to pick up a +3 ring in the ringed city, the game also "intends" for other players to enter your game and give you gifts of their choosing, so if an invader chooses to give you some items and you choose to pick them up, that is now your "intended" progression.

what the poster above me mentioned about owning the DLC does not apply to rings. if you can pick the item up, you wont be banned even if you dont own the DLC. what does ban is if you do not own the DLC and use cheat engine to obtain DLC items that cannot be dropped to other players, mainly spells, or if you use the bonfire warp script to enter the DLC.

i like to keep a few extras havel's ring +3 and i always drop them for hosts that are fat rolling.

Thanks for the answer!
I have all the DLC! It's just that when I invaded at a low level, it seemed like the opponents weren't the most common players, but imbalanced or troll-nerds :)... So I thought maybe I got on some kind of blacklist or something because of these rings.
