Minor Sun Ring is an uncommon ring in Windrose. It modifies wood plague accumulation speed in plague zones when worn in an accessory slot. It is the entry-tier ring in its line, made from basic silver and accessible almost as soon as you build a Jewelery Table.

Effect
Reduces the Wood Plague accumulation speed in plague zones by 30%
The Wood Plague accumulates while you stand in plague-infested zones and eventually becomes lethal if you do not leave. Wearing this ring during expeditions into plague areas gives you a much longer window to loot before pulling out.
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.

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.
When you have access to higher-tier materials, upgrade to the Major Sun Ring for a stronger bonus.
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
Warmth emanates from the ring. Perhaps long ago, such rings were worn by priests who worshipped the sun as a god.

Where to Use
The Wood Plague accumulation that this ring slows down is specific to the plague zones inside the Cursed Swamps. Any time you cross into the infested region in the south of the world map, the plague meter begins to climb, and without a reduction source it fills quickly enough that an unprepared player has to abort mid-expedition.
The Minor Sun Ring turns that time pressure into a manageable window. A 30% reduction does not remove the meter, but it extends the time you can spend looting plague-only resource nodes, chopping Plague Wood, and engaging infected enemies before you need to retreat. The Major Sun Ring pushes the same reduction to 45% once the tier-three materials are available.
Sourcing Silver Ingots for the Recipe
The only ingredient cost for the Minor Sun Ring is three Silver Ingot. Silver is not smelted from raw ore; it is looted rather than refined. Reliable sources early and mid-game:
Enemy ships. Boarding and looting pirate ships that you defeat in open water routinely drops Silver as part of the reward pool. It is one of the densest ways to build a stack.
Points of interest. Pirate Camps, Smuggler's Cache caches, and similar landmarks scattered across the archipelago contain chests that roll Silver as a common drop.
Vendors. The Tortuga Goods Seller sells Silver Ingots directly for Piastres, which is a flat-rate fallback for players who prefer to farm Piastres from one activity rather than looting a variety of containers.
Three Silver Ingots is a modest investment on the scale of Jewelery Table crafts, and the ring does not degrade with use, so the cost is a one-time commitment. Players who intend to clear the Cursed Swamps should craft this ring the same session they plan their first swamp expedition rather than farming without it and taking the plague-timer loss across multiple runs.
