Stardew Valley: Best Ring Combos

Stardew Valley has a wide selection of Rings that can give you brilliant utility abilities, powerful buffs, and special perks that will make your time exploring the mines, Skull Cavern, and the Volcano Dungeons much easier than if you didn't adorn any jewelry. However, there is a way to make these rings even more powerful, provided you have access to the Forge on Ginger Island.

10 Caffeine Kick Ring

Hot Java Ring X Burglar's Ring Stardew Valley

Ring Combo	Hot Java Ring	Burglar's Ring
Effect	Increases Chance to Drop Coffeeand Triple Shot Espresso	Monsters Drop Items More Often

We begin with a ring that will appeal to all you coffee connoisseurs out there. The Caffeine Kick Ring is a combo of the Hot Java Ring, which increases the chances of enemies dropping either coffee or triple-shot espresso when they are slain. Along with the Burglar's Ring, which increases the chances of item drops with the potential for enemies to drop double the Coffee if the effect occurs.

This is beneficial for two reasons: Coffee and Triple Shot Espresso sell for a decent little nugget of cash, and also, they have a speed boost effect that is very helpful if you want to get a lot done on a particular day and zoom around the town.

If you have a good speed-enhancing recipe like Spicy Eel or Crab Cakes already, this might not be all that useful. But if you don't, it's a great way to get a little pep in your step.

9 Debuff Destroyer Ring

Ring Combo	Immunity Band	Sturdy Ring
Effect	Increases Immunity by +4	Decreases the duration of Defuffs by 50%

Next, we have a ring combo that will all but guarantee that debuffs in Stardew Valley never plague you ever again, and if they do, they won't be anywhere near as debilitating as before. This ring increases your Immunity by +4, making it much more unlikely that debuffs will occur in combat. Then, on the off chance that they do, the debuffs will last significantly less time than they normally would, making them a much more temporary concern.

There is great synergy between these two rings here, as this makes it much easier to deal with certain enemies that lower your attack, defense, and speed. So, if you have some specific monsters to slay for the Adventurer's Guild, and they are known for relying on debuffs, this is the ring combo you'll want to equip.

8 Critical Damage Ring

Ring Combo	Jade Ring	Aquamarine Ring
Effect	Increases Critical Hit Power by 10%	Increases Critical Hit Rate by 10%

Raw damage output is a good thing to keep ticking up as you progress through Stardew Valley, but it's not the only way to vanquish pesky enemies. You see, there's standard damage, and then there is critical hit damage, and if you're the kind of player that likes to buff their luck stat and rely on these powerful critical strikes, then this is a ring combination that will suit you down to the ground.

By combining the Jade Ring and the Aquamarine Ring, you can gain a total buff to both your critical hit rate and your critical hit power. Which, when combined with some food items that enhance your luck like a Lucky Lunch, and a weapon that relies on critical hits like the Iridium Needle. It can be a truly devastating build. So, if this sounds up your alley, this is a ring you need to go and forge.

7 The Slime Hunter Ring

Slime Charmer X Burglar's Ring Stardew Valley

Ring Combo	Slime Charmer Ring	Burglar's Ring
Effect	Makes the player invulnerable to Slimes	Monsters Drop Items More Often

Due to the fact that Slime enemies in Stardew Valley have a really annoying debuff that slows the player to a crawl, not to mention the fact that they are quite hardy and aggressive little buggers, it can be a pain to deal with them. However, they are also a great way to make money via a Slime Hutch, and they tend to have excellent drops depending on what type of Slime enemy you encounter. So, if you want to farm them, you need a good solution to this issue.

The Slime Charmer Ring and Burglar Ring combo is the solution to this problem, as it not only gives you the potential for double the item drops, but also makes you completely invincible when dealing with Slime enemies. It's an essential ring combo for slime farmers, and also a handy combined ring to have on hand for floors of the mines with Slime infestations. So do yourself a favor and forge this one.

6 Luck Of The Gods Ring

Ring of Yoba x Lucky Ring Stardew Valley

Ring Combo	Ring of Yoba	Lucky Ring
Effect	Chance to apply Blessing of Yoba	Adds a +1 Buff to Luck

The Ring of Yoba is a handy ring from a defensive point of view, as it can effectively give you a 5-second invincibility window if you happen to take damage. However, the issue with this ring is whether or not the Blessing of Yoba effect kicks in is governed by luck. So, if you haven't buffed your luck stat, it might not kick in when you need it most. However, if you have luck on your side all the time, then this becomes a worry of the past.

If you combine the Ring of Yoba with the Lucky Ring, you gain +1 to your luck stat alongside the potential Blessing of Yoba when you take damage. With this luck buff, it means roughly a 10% higher chance of this kicking in. So, if you want to have the gods on your side, this ring is the way to do it.

5 Thorns Of Protection

Thorns Ring x Protection Ring Stardew Valley

Ring Combo	Thorns Ring	Protection Ring
Effect	When the player takes damage, the enemy takes equal damage	Grants the player a longer invincibility window when hit

Speaking of rings that show their worth when you take damage, if you combine the Thorns Ring and the Protection Ring, you get a combined ring that will make any enemy think twice about attacking you, because it will only make you more powerful.

This ring will activate when you take damage, and when you do, the enemy that hits you will take equal damage. Plus, you'll also have an extended invincibility window, which you can use to get away or go on the offensive, depending on what the situation warrants. It's a perfect ring for those who take a lot of hits when visiting the mines. You may not be the best warrior in the world, but with this ring, that may be to your advantage.

4 The Lifeblood Ring

Soul Sapper Ring x Vampire Ring Stardew Valley

Ring Combo	Vampire Ring	Soul Sapper Ring
Effect	Gives the player +2 HP per kill	Gives the player +4 Energy per kill

Before every trip to the mines, players will likely head to a nearby chest, hunt for all the best food items they have at their disposal, and then pack them in their inventory to be munched on when HP or Energy drops and needs a top-up. This isn't a bad practice by any stretch, but it does take up valuable space in your inventory that could be used for loot that could be sold after a long day of spelunking. So, we have a way to free up that space and still keep HP and stamina high.

If you combine the Soul Sapper Ring and the Vampire Ring, you can effectively keep both your HP and Energy full by killing enemies. Sure, you may need the occasional food item if things go wrong. But if you're a skilled combatant, you can be completely self-sustainable when it comes to HP and energy replenishment. It's the ultimate life drain ring, and one that thrifty players will really appreciate.

3 The Safety Ring

Ring Combo	Phoenix Ring	Crabshell Ring
Effect	Upon death, player is revived with 50% health replenished	Grants player a +5 Buff to Defense

No matter how brilliant you are when it comes to Stardew Valley's simple and accessible combat, there will inevitably be a time when the Serpents come at you thick and fast, you'll have no answer for them, and you'll be in a heap of trouble. Now, in normal circumstances, your HP bar would melt away like butter in the hot sun, and you'd die pretty quickly, but with the Safety Ring combo, you'll be able to fight back against the horde.

This combo of the Phoenix Ring and the Crabshell Ring grants you a +5 boost to your overall defensive stat, making you a complete tank. Then if your seemingly impenetrable defense is comprised, and you do die, the Phoenix Ring will kick into gear and revive you with 50% of your health restored. It's basically a combo that acts as the ultimate security blanket when exploring dangerous areas, and one well worth forging.

2 The Itemfinder Ring

Burglar's Ring x Iridium Band Stardew Valley

Ring Combo	Iridium Band	Burglar's Ring
Effect	Emits light, acts as magnet and boosts attack by 10%	Monsters Drop Items More Often

As you get through the majority of Stardew Valley's content and get down to the nitty-gritty stuff in the late-game, there will come a time when you need to acquire a specific item or a lot of the same item to complete a quest or craft a particular asset. This is usually an absolute grind, but with the Iridium Thief combo, the grind becomes a little less of a burden.

The Iridium Band offers its trio of abilities, which lights the area, attracts items to your person with its magnet ability, and also gives the player a 10% boost to their overall attack power. Then you have the Burglar Ring, which increases the chances of item drops, meaning you won't have to kill quite as many enemies to meet your quota. So, if you're in search of a particular item drop, this is the ring combo you need to equip.

1 Here Comes The Boom Ring

Iridium Band x Napalm Ring Stardew Valley

Ring Combo	Iridium Band	Napalm Ring
Effect	Emits light, acts as magnet and boosts attack by 10%	Causes enemies to explode upon death

Then, to wrap things up, we have the most bombastic, explosive, and helpful combo on the list. What I call the 'Here Comes The Boom Ring' is a ring that combines the Iridium Band, complete with its added attack power and utilities, with the Napalm Ring, a ring that causes defeated enemies to explode, destroying all nearby rocks and debris, as well as harming any enemies nearby too.

This is an excellent combo for exploring and getting down floors in the mines fast, and it's also a great ring for crowd control situations and gathering resources like Gems and Minerals. It's a real all-rounder, and a fun one to use due to the endless explosions you'll cause. So, to avoid crafting an endless supply of Bomb, and be a force to be reckoned with, equip this ring and watch the sparks fly.
