Major Cutthroat Ring

Major Cutthroat Ring is an epic ring in Windrose. It modifies critical damage when worn in an accessory slot. It is the top-tier ring in its line, carrying the strongest bonus and requiring Tumbaga Ingots and Sapphire to craft.

Overview

Effect

Increases Critical Damage by 30%

Critical damage boosts only the extra damage dealt on a crit. The bonus does nothing until a crit actually triggers, so pair it with weapons or rings that raise Critical Hit Chance to make the most of it.

How to Obtain

Crafted at the Jewelery Table. The Jewelery Table is the accessory workbench in Windrose and must be placed indoors under a roof and within range of a Bonfire to function. Building it the first time requires Wood, Foothills Iron Ingot, and Silver Ingot.

Tier Comparison

Rings in the Cutthroat Ring line share the same base effect; each tier increases the magnitude. The Major Cutthroat Ring sits at the Epic tier. The full line:

Tips

• Windrose characters have three accessory slots: one ring slot, one necklace slot, and one miscellaneous slot. Only one ring can be worn at a time, so pick the one whose bonus best matches your primary weapon or task.

• Cutthroat (crit damage) only pays off when you actually crit, so combining it with a Jaguar Ring (crit chance) is the standard pairing.

• Any ring crafted at the Jewelery Table can be broken down at the Disassembly Table, returning a portion of its silver. If you swap to a different ring effect, disassembling the old one recovers some of the materials.

Flavor Text

They say Francis Drake cast a ring like this after his first raid on Nombre de Dios, where he seized Spanish gold. The Spaniards, of course, put a huge bounty on his head for the insult.

Build Pairings

Critical damage only applies to attacks that can roll a critical hit. The +30% bonus from this ring is only worth slotting on weapons whose hits actually crit. For boom-style and slam-style weapons whose flagship attacks deal flat damage that bypasses the crit roll, the ring is wasted: swap to a damage-flat ring such as Major Ring of Bravery instead. The ring stacks multiplicatively with other crit-damage scaling sources, so once a build commits to crits the bonus only grows.

Recommended Builds

• Big Game Hunter / Sniper with the Reliable Musket: headshots crit consistently, and the ring multiplies every long-range one-shot.

• Boss Killer with the Rapier of Devastation: plague-mark consumption hits can crit, so the ring scales the spike damage that defines the build.

• Bone Breaking Brawler with the Bonebreaker: the chain-stun loop relies on landing crits via Privateer crit chance, and this ring multiplies every link in that chain.

Avoid On

• Boarding Bomber with the Plague Halberd: the boom attack deals fixed damage and cannot roll a critical hit, so the ring contributes nothing.

• Slam loadouts with the Arboris Saber: the saber's slam ignores the crit roll, leaving the ring's bonus inactive on the build's signature hit.

Stacks With

Crit damage from this ring multiplies cleanly with the Privateer Set crit-chance and crit-damage scaling, the Sniper's Focus talent for ranged kits, and Surgical Cuts for melee kits. Pair with the Necklace of Mastery for crit chance, or use the Jaguar Ring in a second accessory slot to raise the chance of triggering the bonus in the first place.
