    Battle Rings
    What are they?
    Firstly, Gaians have three fingers and a thumb on each hand. Therefore, a Gaian can wear up to eight rings at any one time (four on each hand).

    Each Battle Ring is, essentially, a skill for your character. (For example, you might get a Ring that lets you throw fireballs at range, or turn invisible, or get faster, or project a force field, or…well…almost anything.)

    So, you can wield up to eight skills at any one time. Some skills are passive (always on) and some require activation (like when you attack a monster).

    You can only change your rings when you are within a “Moonfield” (the name of that object might change, but that’s the name for now). There are fictional reasons for why you can only change Rings in a Moonfield, but let’s avoid fiction for the moment. In a nutshell, what this means is that you can’t just swap out your “skills” at any moment, but it’s still pretty easy to customize your character to fit any group you want to join…depending on the number and quality of Battle Rings you possess.

    Yes…there *are* mechanics in place that will tend to encourage folks to try out “sets” of powers and possibly even a few penalties that lessen the power of your abilities if you try to be too much of a “jack of all trades”. But we’ll go into those details in a future info release.

    How do you get Battle Rings?
    The obvious answer is…from loot. When you defeat opponents, they will drop treasure items ("loot" wink that usually do NOT contain Battle Rings, but sometimes you'll get lucky.

    When you fight against powerful opponents ("Bosses" wink as well as completing major quests you may also be rewarded with new Battle Rings.

    Players can trade rings to each other, and the Marketplace is always an option, but the in-game stores (like "Barton's Boutique" wink will not buy or sell Battle Rings.

    User ImageHow many can you possess?
    As many as you desire. (Well…okay…as many as you can stick into your Ring inventory and in your Storage on the main site. In other words, many…but not an infinite amount.)

    How much are they worth?User Image
    That’s up to you. Battle Rings will be fairly rare loot drops, but there will be enough of them that you will eventually find yourself with a surplus of rings that you’re not interested in ranking up. Watch the Marketplace and figure out what those rings are selling for…and then sell them for around that much, if you so desire.

    How do you get better with them?
    You accumulate experience with each individual ring as you use it. Thus, we track the “Rage XP” that you’ve accumulated with a Battle Ring to determine the level of experience, or “Rage Rank” that you have with that ring.

    Once you get a higher Rage Rank (RR), you can activate that ability at a higher effect level, which can be extremely advantageous to you. You start at RR1 with a ring, and can work your way up to RR4 at the maximum.

    Only Four Rage Ranks? That Doesn’t Seem Like Much Advancement Potential!
    Fear not! Rings can be upgraded by infusing special items found throughout the world into them. We’ll discuss “upgrades” in a future info release, but you can continuously power up your Rings over time as your character matures and becomes more seasoned through adventuring.

    What is Ring Fu?
    Quite simply, “Ring Fu” is a total of all the Rage XP that you have earned on every Ring that you have ever used. Ring Fu is used for several things, but in general, it’s a quick way of seeing how seasoned you are when compared to other characters. It’s also used to determine when you are veteran enough to use high-quality rings, and a few other minor things.

    I have a MILLION other Questions? Can I ask them now?
    Yes, you can. We have some information reserved for future info installments, but please ask your questions in the (Gaia Online MMO “Battle”) forum. (Brand new!)

    We’ll browse through that forum regularly and answer questions. Don’t be too put off by how often we have to say things like “We’ll be announcing that later on”, but we’ll try to get you as much information as we can in the meantime.


    And if you have suggestions, then by all means, lay them on us! We love ideas!

    they haven't released
    specifics about rings,
    but there are definitely going to be a variety.
Wha' happens when you level up on a ring an' then sell it? Does th' ring revert to level 1 or does it keep the level tha' it's been worked up to?

    Good question.
    There hasn't been anything (that i know of) released about the
    weaknesses and strengths of monsters yet.

it answers your first question by saying that rings will not be sold in stores but will be able to be sold in the marketplace but the price will be user determined .i don't know about the second question though

I'm guessing that the ring will keep to exp. so it's value in the market can go up accordingly. But I don't know so I can't answer this. sweatdrop

    I'm really glad that they aren't having a ring shop.
    I'd like to see a change in the Marketplace and new things.

Same here if they sold the rings then everyone would just go and get the best ring and that would make the entire battle system very unfair
