Nargothrel's Band
Do people know about this amazing ring? I got it off the gambler in Zeryphesh on NG+++ for about 24,000 gold. I thought it was expensive junk until I put it on one of my storage characters, and I could have easily missed it but I noticed what makes it so special.

If you get it on NG+++ (starts at level 100), the item level will be level 100 as well, but you can equip it at the starting level for whatever NG or NG+ you are on.

Your mind probably went exactly where mine did, and yes, it works! You can put level 100 stat enchantments from Borris on it and equip it on a new character at level 1, making it the ultimate gear ladder! If you get one or maybe two with the right enchants, you can equip anything in the game at level 1 without having to enchant a ton of items.

I tried searching the ring on Google, but not even the Wiki says anything special about this item. Is it known?

The Wiki is incomplete on what items have level 100 re-scaled variants however a Reddit user did take note of this in 2017:
https://torchlight.fandom.com/wiki/Nargothrel's_Band

I recently came across a ring called Nargothrel's Band which is the most expensive item you can buy at the gambler by a factor of almost 2. It isn't very good, but it is a level 100 item that has no level requirements. This means you can give it two eyes of the winter widow and a bit of Borrising and you can wear practically any other ring, amulet or belt without any other juggling!

Neat! I've never been to the Torchlight Reddit. I tend to play Torchlight 2 a ton for a few weeks or months at a time then stop playing for a year or two in between. Thanks for the response. The wiki itself was a bit misleading too, since it only showed a level 25 scaled variant of the ring in a screenshot.

Needless to say, I was pretty happy equipping Hammer of Retribution and Outercore armor on my new engineer at level 19. :tl2engineer:

I like to cycle my games too. Keeps everything fresh to enjoy it again.
The Wiki definitely needs some work on certain pages.
The Torchlight Reddit can be helpful as a source if the Wiki doesn't mention it.
You're welcome and enjoy the early power build! :yellowflare:

I'm already up to level 93 :consmile: thanks. This has been my first time actually enjoying engineer.

One more important note about the ring - when I went to NG+, all of my gear fell off. Turns out Nargothrel's band requirements change based on the starting level of your New Game, which for NG+ (1) is level 51. My engineer was only level 48 so I had to equip other gear for three levels. I don't yet know how this affects characters at NG higher than 3 (level 100) :moxes:

All good. Engineer is definitely more enjoyable with good affix weapons.
My thanks for mentioning that detail on the item's variable requirements depending on NG+.
I wasn't certain on how that functioned and now other players can benefit from that info. :sh_treasure:

Update: I checked, and for NG+ starting at level 100 or higher, the ring requires level 100. :loot:
