In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, loot and treasure can be an even bigger motivator than actually saving Tamriel from a world-eating dragon or finding some weird decrepit scroll to stop said dragon. Of course, that’s still the goal, but players will want to be dressed in the best garb and wielding the best stabbers or smashers before they finally fulfill that Dragonborn destiny they keep delaying because of their fixation for Nirnroot.

Anyway, armor and weapons are easy enough to find and evaluate. Rings and amulets, however, might need a more expert appraisal. That’s where this guide comes in, the appraisal part, regardless of whether it’s expert or not— though it is, promise. These ten accessories are some of the best in Skyrim and some of them are even straight-up overpowered for certain dispositions or builds. Don’t miss them.

10 RING OF BLOODLUST

Here’s a broken build suggestion, free of charge: pick an orc as a race, join the companions as soon as possible and become a good boy by accepting their werewolf gift. Afterward, look for Majni at Frostmoon Crag and she’ll give you this ring. It grants 50 percent more damage to attacks in werewolf form but players also take 50 percent more damage.

Well, that’s a bummer ain’t it? It’s suicide! Unless of course, the players activate their orcish race ability, Berserker Rage while in werewolf mode. Berserker Rage halves the damage taken and increases damage by 50 percent. Coupled with the Ring of Bloodlust, that means 100 percent more damage with no drawback while in werewolf form. You’re welcome.

9 NECROMANCER AMULET

Moving on to spellcaster types, the Necromancer Amulet would be more apt for those who prefer to not have fur coming out of their ears and be able to perform some magic tricks. It gives 50 more Magicka and 25 percent cost reduction to Conjuration spells.

The catch is that it also reduces Health and Stamina regeneration by 75 percent– nothing too big if you have a legion of familiars fighting for you. Besides, it’s easy to offset the drawback with enchantments and potions. Anyway, the Necromancer Amulet is obtainable after finishing the “Blood on the Ice” quest.

8 RING OF NAMIRA

A rather controversial item in Skyrim, the Ring of Namira turns the players into a full-fledged carrion cannibal. It allows the wearer to feed on corpses to increase their Health. Additionally, the ring grants a static 50 points to Stamina, so the wearers can feed more vigorously without tiring.

Do keep in mind that cannibalism is a crime— have some class and don’t do it in front of the guards. If players want to channel their inner Hannibal Lecter with this ring, they simply need to do the “The Taste of Death” quest, it’s one of the rewards along the way.

7 SAVOS AREN’S AMULET

Savos Aren’s Amulet is a necklace more suited for mages that don’t want to cheat with their boons. Unlike the Necromancer Amulet, this one provides a 50-point boost to Magicak without any repercussions.

The amulet also belongs to none other than Savos Aren, who’s the Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold. To get his amulet, players need only complete the “Containment” quest which is hard to miss if they mess around in Winterhold like a college bum.

6 RING OF THE ERUDITE

In order to complete the wizard transformation, additional paraphernalia such as the Ring of the Erudite is needed. It gives a whopping 100 points of Magicka and Magicka regeneration— perfect for showing off to peers that you don’t even like in the College of Winterhold!

Sadly, this ring comes at a hefty price: players need to finish the “Rings of Blood Magic” quest and become a Vampire Lord. This is one of the awesome rewards tied to that. Still, it’s definitely worth it. Besides, most wizards don’t even see sunlight anyway since they spend too much time in libraries.

5 THE GAULDUR AMULET

The Gauldur Amulet is the right accessory for the most well-rounded Dragonborns ever. It grants a bonus of 30 points to Health, Stamina, and Magicka which is rewarding enough for jack-of-all-trades builds or those who can’t seem to choose the right amulet.

That’s about it for the Gauldur Amulet, not exactly optimal for specialized builds. Still, one can’t go wrong with it especially since it’s also easy to obtain. Finishing the “Under Saarthal” quest rewards this nice amulet.

4 RING OF THE BEAST

Ring of the Beast is the warrior or melee focused equivalent of the Ring of the Erudite. They’re sibling accessories and by contrast, Ring of the Beast bestows 100 points to Health and adds 20 damage to Unarmed attacks.

Additionally, Vampire claw attacks are also buffed with 20 more points of damage on top of the Unarmed bonus. Much like its twin ring, however, players will need to fully commit to being a Vampire lord in order to get this ring at the end of the “Rings of Blood Magic” quest.

3 AMULET OF ARTICULATION

As for players who prefer to do more talking than trashing, there’s always the option of being a silver-tongued devil in Skyrim. The Amulet of Articulation allows pacifists to exist or even thrive as it gives a maximum bonus of 35 points to Speech.

The numeric value is randomized every time you obtain it, though but players can fish for the maximum value by saving and reloading before they obtain the amulet. For its location, just power through the “Under New Management” quest from the Thieves’ Guild.

2 RING OF THE HUNT

All those Vampire Lord rings making the werewolf in you green with envy? Not to worry, werewolves also have it good with the Ring of the Hunt. It’s a nice little trinket to make werewolves tankier as it gives a solid Health regeneration bonus.

A word of warning: the regeneration only applies during werewolf mode so players may want to swap it out during any other instance. Much like the Ring of Bloodlust, this one can be found in Majni’s stockpile in Frostmoon Crag and only if the players are werewolves.

1 LOCKET OF SAINT JIUB

All these awesome goods for warriors and mages, what about a periapt for rogues and thieves? Look no further than the Locket of Saint Jiub, it’s all about increasing the wearer’s Stamina by 50 points and also adding 50 points of carrying capacity. Actually, this one is also viable for any class, not just thieves.

If players want this one, they need to explore the Soul Cairn in the Dawnguard expansion and complete the quest “Impatience of a Saint.” After that, our beloved Saint Jiub from Morrowind will grace the players with his riches.
