Revision 4

Overview

Witch's Ring is a Mythical ring accessory in Crimson Desert. A ring engraved with strange sorcery from the east, it carries an energy distinct from the magic found on the continent. Equipping the ring brings a peculiar sensation, causing all distracting thoughts to vanish.

The Witch's Ring is one of the most sought-after endgame accessories due to its high Attack Speed bonus. At maximum refinement, it reaches level 4 Attack Speed, making it one of the strongest rings for any build focused on fast weapon combos.

Stats

How to Obtain

The Witch's Ring is obtained during Chapter 9: The Sage of the Desert, specifically at mission 124, Unwavering Steps. During this mission, Kliff visits the Spire of the Sun and solves mirror puzzles before entering the Abyss Nexus.

Inside the Abyss, you must defeat Goyen, a human enemy armed with a shield and sword. After completing this boss encounter and progressing through the objective, the Witch's Ring is awarded as a story reward. It cannot be missed if you progress through Chapter 9 normally.

Campaign Acquisition Details

The Witch's Ring is awarded automatically during Chapter 9 of the main campaign, specifically during the "Finin Blade Unwavering Steps" mission. Because it is a guaranteed story reward, every player will obtain this ring simply by progressing through the main questline. There is no optional step or hidden requirement; completing the mission grants the ring.

When fully leveled to +10 refinement, the Witch's Ring gives +4 Attack Speed. For players who have not yet reached Chapter 9, the Mark of Darkness ring is a strong alternative that provides the same +4 attack speed bonus at max refinement. The Mark of Darkness can be obtained much earlier by visiting Winmia Manor above Deminus and solving a strongbox puzzle, so it serves as an excellent placeholder until the Witch's Ring becomes available.

Refinement

This accessory can be upgraded through the Refinement System. Refinement increases the accessory's Attack and Attack Speed stats progressively. The base values at +0 are modest, but at +10 the ring provides a significant 3 Attack and 4 Attack Speed, making full refinement highly worthwhile.

Refining accessories requires Silver Ore and other precious materials obtained through mining. Prioritize upgrading the Witch's Ring early among your accessories, as the Attack Speed bonus directly translates to faster combo speed across all weapon types.

Build Synergy

The Witch's Ring pairs exceptionally well with the Mark of Darkness ring. Both rings provide level 4 Attack Speed at +10 refinement, so equipping both gives a total of level 8 Attack Speed. Since the effective cap for Attack Speed is around level 5 (beyond which diminishing returns reduce the benefit), this combination far exceeds what is needed, though the excess ensures you stay at maximum speed even with build variations.

For a complete late-game accessory setup, combine the Witch's Ring and Mark of Darkness for Attack Speed, a Critical Rate necklace for doubled crit chance, and Movement Speed earrings for faster traversal.

Attack Speed Breakpoint

The Witch's Ring is one of only two rings in the game that actually reaches the +4 attack speed breakpoint at refinement level 10. The other is the Mark of Darkness. Most other rings in Crimson Desert cannot reach this threshold even at maximum refinement, so upgrading those rings provides diminishing returns on attack speed compared to these two.

Warning: Be careful when choosing which rings to invest refinement materials into. Because the Witch's Ring and Mark of Darkness are two of the only rings that hit the +4 attack speed breakpoint, spending rare materials on other rings for attack speed is often a waste. Always check the maximum stat values of a ring at +10 before committing upgrade resources. The wrong choice cannot be reversed and the materials are lost permanently.

Together, the Witch's Ring and Mark of Darkness provide a combined +8 attack speed from equipment alone, which is more than halfway to the stat cap of 15. This frees up Abyss Gear slots for other stats like crit rate or raw attack damage rather than needing to dedicate them to attack speed.

Tips

• The Witch's Ring is a story reward and cannot be missed. You will receive it naturally by playing through Chapter 9.

• Prioritize refining this ring to +10 as early as possible. The Attack Speed bonus affects all weapon types and is one of the most impactful stats for combat effectiveness.

• Level 5 Attack Speed provides the majority of the speed benefit. Going from level 5 to level 8 (with both rings) adds roughly 5-6% more actual attack speed. The gains are still real, but do not expect a dramatic difference beyond level 5.
