The Protect Ring (守りの指輪, Mamori no Yubiwa?), also known as Protector Ring, Guard Ring and Ring of Renewal, is a recurring armor and accessory in the series. It can be classified either as a ring, or as an armlet. It usually defends against Instant Death or grants the user the status Auto-Protect.
Appearances
Final Fantasy
Template:Sideicon
Ring that guards against instant death.
Description
The Protect Ring is an armlet that protects against Death-elemental attacks, has +8 Absorb, and -1% Evade. It can be bought for 16,000 gil at Gaia, or found in the Flying Fortress, and the Chaos Shrine (past).
Unlike what the description states, Protect Rings do not resist all instant KO attacks, only ones that are specifically Death-elemental (Death and Kill). Many instant KO spells and abilities, such as Earthquake and Break, require alternate resistance protection (Earth and Petrification, respectively).
Final Fantasy II
Template:Sideicon
A ring affording protection against instant death.
Description
The Protect Ring boosts Defense by 18 and protects against the element Death. It can be dropped from Lamia Queen, and found in Raqia.
Though the Protect Ring prevents Instant Death from the spell Death, it does not protect against instant death inflicted by the Warp or Teleport spells, which are Matter-elemental.
Final Fantasy III
Template:Sideicon The Protect Ring is an armlet that resists Fire, Thunder, Ice, Wind, and Light and boosts all stats by two and can be equipped by all the jobs. It can be found in the Temple of Time and Ancients' Maze, or dropped from King Behemoth (rare).
Final Fantasy IV
Template:Sideicon
Ring resistant against fire, ice, and lightning.
Description
The Protect Ring grants resistance to all elements to the wearer. It can be found in the Lunar Subterrane, or dropped from Ahriman and Magic Dragon. It provides +10 Defense, +12 Evasion, +5 Magic Defense, and +10 Magic Evasion.
In the game's original SNES version, when characters equip elemental resistant equipment, they inherently become weak to the opposite element. A character with the Protect Ring is thus weak to Fire and Ice-elemental physical attacks (however, no enemy uses physical elemental attacks so this isn't usually an issue). This is changed in the Advance version where characters are no longer weak against the opposite element.
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Template:Sideicon The Protect Ring provides 10 Defense, 12 Magic Defense, 5 Evasion, 10 Magic Evasion, and +15 Stamina, as well as resistance to Fire, Ice, and Lightning. It can be found in the Subterrane or dropped from Fiend Dragon.
Final Fantasy V
Template:Sideicon
Ring with same effect as Regen.
Description
The Protect Ring is an accessory and grants the wearer Auto-Regen and provides +10 Defense, Magic Evasion, and Magic Defense as well as +1 Weight and +5 Stamina. It can be dropped from Odin, found at Istory Falls, Pyramid of Moore, and the Island Shrine, and stolen from Soul Cannon at the Phoenix Tower.
