MA Ring

MA Only

*** IMPORTANT ***

You must now provide a +2 dex ring to a Master and say:

<vendor name>, upgrade

• Providing only a +1 dex ring will consume the ring with no benefit.
• The +2 dex ring is destroyed and its bonus is permanently applied.
• You can confirm success by checking your Defense Rating.

MA Ring Questline

Part 1

1. Obtain Crystal Gauntlets.
2. Bring them to Student Jin in Underkingdom (east of the MA trainer, near the portal).
3. Say:

   Stu, yes

4. Place the Crystal Gauntlets on the ground under Student Jin.
5. Say:

   Stu, teach

You will receive a green ring — this is your MA Ring.

• The MA Ring scales with level and quest progression.
• You can replace a lost ring by saying Stu, ring to Student Jin.
• All replacement rings will inherit the +2 dex bonus if you have completed that step.

Using the MA Ring

When you enter combat, you will gain access to Ki (displayed as mana).

Ki

• Ki is generated only while in combat.
• Base regeneration: 0.5 Ki per round (2 rounds per 1 Ki).
• Ki continues to regenerate briefly after combat ends.
• Once fully out of combat, Ki drains at 0.5 Ki per round.
• Combat is defined by either dealing or receiving damage. (Including Poison or Ground Fire)
• If you cannot damage a creature and it does not damage you, Ki will not regenerate.
