Depends on weather or not you are using mods. if you have the more rings mod, you can have all of the ones you want. I'm currently wearing 8 rings that have been heavily combined, but that takes ALOT of trips thru the volcano.
with out mods, you definitely need the light/magnet ring for mining.
and a good defense ring . or the soul sapper to get health back from mobs.
I also like the explosive ring for getting rid of those skeleton zombies the first time.
If you have the slime hutch, then you want to keep the slime ring handy for going into the hutch.

Slime ring for sure, even in skull caves those slimes are the ones that deal out all the damage

this thread will be super useful for me too :D

why bother combining them if you have a mod that lets you put on all you want?

anyways early game crafting a glowstone ring is definitely worth it imo.

burglar ring was also convenient to deal with coal shortages and make farming ancient seeds easier, but i have enough money to buy all the coal i want now so taking that one off until i need a specific monster drop.

at times i wonder if i should have bought a +5 defense ring just to make life easier below lvl 80 in mines.

probably gonna do 2x luck ring once i get some to see if anything crazy happens.

my combo was the magnet glow ring and burglar ring before forge.

after the forge I fused the glow magnet ring and luck and burglar ring with slime ring.
reasons is I like the immunity against slime and their slows. and the special monster drop are fun to get. luck was .... cause I didnt find a better ring

once you get to the forge, you can add gems to the rings to give them more qualities

[Ryvaken Tadrya]

Slimes are excessively numerous and present an outsized danger. My mining rings are slime charmer and burgler. My general rings are Iridium and luck. Once the forge is unlocked, I pair Iridium and Slime as one and Luck and Burgle as the other.

[Lastweeker]

i use hot java and luck and with the forge i combine iridium and luck and hot java and slime charmer

[Queen Droxxanna]

combine crabshell and immunity ring for protection.
if you use the mod combine multiple rings, then you can combine all the rings into one very powerful ring. With the 8 rings i wear, i have + 30 defense and + 6 luck. Nothing can hurt me. lol.

It is tough to choose. I agree with most here that the slime charmer is very helpful.
The napalm ring and burglar ring are a good combo in the volcano. More cinder shards, and the exploding enemies make it easier to get through those tough stones.

[Kumairo]

those reply are really useful for me and i actually need that magnet ring so bad. Note: That this isn't my first farm. It's just I finally got a lot of progess in the community center thanks to activating complete in first year. :D Got one cabbage seed during in game summer thanks to that. :D

Starting out you will be trying to get and use any glow and magnet ring that drops. After you get the Galaxy Sword and start on skull caverns, you want to create an Iridium Band ASAP. You can make two, Iridium Bands stack so the stats on both still work, one of the only rings that does this.

As soon as you can forge rings on Ginger Island, I went with Iridium Band / Burglar and Iridium Band / Ruby. This gives you a whopping +30% attack power, and gives monsters a greater chance of dropping loot. You can also forge more attack into the Galaxy Sword, that with the Brute skill makes things much easier.

My favorite ring in the game is the Napalm Ring. It turns all monsters into bombs. For late game my ring combo is Iridium Band / Luck and Napalm / Luck. By this time you will also have the Infinity Blade which makes up for the attack power your going to lose from the rings. Luck is huge, so after I have a few fish ponds with Sea Cucumber I always have the Lucky Lunch buff in dungeons. That with the lucky rings give you +5 luck. Once you play with that much luck, you will hate starting a new game and being without it again.

I use Iridium Band / Luck and Burglar / Luck, but Iridium Band / Luck and Napalm / Luck (see post above) or Napalm / Burglar also sounds good.

For a Skull Cavern run I would probably go with Iridium Band / Luck and Napalm / Luck since the Luck rings and the Napalm ring increase chance to get holes.

For health I don't use rings but the Vampiric enchantement for Galaxysword/Infinityblade.

The Luck ring now is no longer rare. I got several from panning, so I can create all kind of combinations for different needs. (Maybe a side effect of permanently wearing the good luck charm and 2 Luck rings.)
Keep in mind that you can buy all the adventurer guild rewards in the shop after unlocking them, so you can combine Napalm ring or Burglar ring with several others to test different combinations. The Burglar ring doesn't stack with another ring of the same type, so wearing 2 Burglar rings has the same effect as wearing 1 Burglar ring. Probably the same for Napalm?

there is a mod where you can combine already combined rings. So you can have Iridium, luck, burglar, Napalm all on one ring.
Or if you use the more rings mod, you can combine luck with each of the other rings. I wear 8 rings, all combined several times.
The only ring that doesn't seem to work well when combined is the giant crop ring, and it needs to be placed at the TOP of your list of rings.
