Summary
AnOblivion Remasteredplayer finds the Mundane Ring, one of the most iconic pieces of equipment from the original game. When someone mentions the strengths of a Bethesda game, players usually think of two things: an addictive exploration loop and the ability to break the game via its own mechanics. ForOblivion, this often meant making the most out of its leveling system, and forOblivion Remastered, much of the same logic still applies.
More often than not, it is advised to hold off ondoing certain main quests inOblivion, as quest rewards scale with the player’s level. This has been a common critique sinceOblivionlaunched in 2006, but it’s precisely this system that makes finding a Mundane Ring guaranteed. By making sure the Hero of Kvatch is at least Level 22 before commencing The Path of Dawn, they can obtain the Mundane Ring from Raven Camoran’s corpse.
As seen in the photo provided by Limp-Bad-8761, the Mundane Ring is anything but, with its selling price listed at 21,600 Septims. The reason for its value is due to the incredible stats it provides, as players get a perpetual 50% boost to Resist Magic and a 35% boost to Reflect Spell while wearing the ring. It is by far one of thebest items inOblivion, as it tends to make many difficult fights trivial. WhileOblivion Remasteredhas removed some popular duplication glitches, players still have a surefire way of obtaining several copies during Paradise, the penultimate quest in the game.
Oblivion Remastered: What To Do With the Mundane Ring?
While players can keep killing Raven Camoran in Paradise over and over again, collecting Mundane Rings with each kill, theshopkeepers inOblivionare capped at how much money they can offer per item. The absolute most that can be offered is by being a Master of Mercantile and investing in Nilphas Omellian, a vendor unlocked by the Battlehorn Castle. This allows players to gain 3,000 Septims per Mundane Ring, but at that point, the Hero of Kvatch has more than enough gold to work with.
The true value of the Mundane Ring is in the gameplay benefit it provides, especially in the hands of a Breton. By combining the Mundane Ring with anEscutcheon of Chorrol, Ring of the Iron Fist, and Necklace of Blades, aBreton character inOblivionbecomes virtually impervious to any type of damage. Players who seek a challenge during their adventure in Cyrodiil are often advised against obtaining the ring, but for those who want to make broken builds,Oblivioncertainly has them covered.
