I've been playing this game many years and I just ran into a HUGE issue that I was unaware of until today!
I just found out that I cannot equip 2 uniquely named overland rings but I can equip 2 uniquely named dungeon rings.
Is there any way around this or am I doomed to farm for another ring that is NOT uniquely named?
I wanted to have 2 uniquely named rings for my character because I like to have those items because they have a cool name but the game will not let me and I'm frustrated because I do not have another ring to replace it... and I am tired of farming!!!!
Can I transmute one of them so they are not exactly the same?
Please send help!

Does that work though? If I transmute one ring, will it let me equip both of them even though they have the same unique name?
Please elaborate.Edited by ShellaSunshine on May 1, 2019 4:07AM0 -

✭✭✭✭I would think not, because transmuting does not change the name of something, right? I honesty don't know; wish I could help.Fan of playing magblade since 2015. (PC NA)

I'm only mad because I normally wear dungeon/trial gear. I have a character that has 2 uniquely named rings from Blackheart Haven and was able to equipped both with no problem.
I decided to try out a different set but an overland set from Glenumbra and found out I cannot equipped 2 uniquely named rings...
Why? That makes no sense to me whatsoever!!!!
I like the uniquely named items...
I guess I'll have to spend another 4 hours to get another purple ring from a dolmen... I bet the devs don't even care enough to even explain the difference between the unique overland rings and the unique dungeon rings.Edited by ShellaSunshine on May 1, 2019 4:14AM0 -

✭Some of the 'low level area' sets do that - I never knew why but I DO NOT think transmuting will help.
If it is OVERLAND though you can just buy one from a guild kiosk, and if it from Glenumbra, it will be cheap.Edited by IzzyStardust on May 1, 2019 4:19AM0 -

✭✭✭✭Are they the same uniquely named ring? If so, they're not unique. Hence can't both be equipped at the same time.0 -

That's not what the game means by 'unique', any named gear item in the game is called 'unique'.
In the olden days this meant you couldn't equip or have more than 1 in your inventory.
They fixed this, but apparently forgot to completely fix it."The Heritance are racists yes? Idiots. But dangerous, destabilizing racist idiots." - Razum-dar

It's not a question of overland or dungeon.
It's a question of unique vs. not unique.
There are a lot of named items that are not unique, meaning that you can equip two of them if possible (weapons/rings) and certainly carry more than one.
There are some named items that have a separate tag for unique. In that case, you can't even carry more than one on the same character or have two in a single bank. The quest rewards for ICP and WGT (blue leeching shield, Grievous Leeching ward, and a blue SPC necklace whose name I forget) are both unique. Most other fixed dungeon rewards are named but not unique.
Most of the unique overland drops I've seen are from world bosses, but no idea why those ones are unique and others are not.
Treasure maps and the feathers/berries are also unique and have the same restrictions (can't have more than one in the same place).Edited by kringled_1 on May 1, 2019 11:07AM4 -

Unique items is named items you can not hold two of, disguises is one typical one.ShellaSunshine wrote: »
Some quest reward items are tagged unique for some reason.
It affect dungeon items to, especially the quest reward from the dungeon quest.
One of the rewards from WGT quest is an spell power cure necklace who is unique.
Heartbreaker's Ebon greaves is a quest reward from COH who is not unique.
Again no logic, the brarheart daggers from the quest are not unique.
This is mostly an problem for daggers and rings who you want to equip two off.Grinding just make you go in circles.

✭✭✭Maybe use the accumulated gold from farming to buy the plain one to complete the set from zone or a trader.
You're not quite doomed to farming it, if you're frustrated just buy it or trade for it. Can't count how many times I bought the 5th piece I needed to save my patience, back when grinds were worse without transmutation.Fear is the Mindkiller1 -

Interesting.
I find it extremely strange that you can equip 2 uniquely named rings from a dungeon but not from an overland set.
Literally makes no sense to me.Edited by ShellaSunshine on May 5, 2019 10:02PM0 -

As someone mentioned earlier it is because some of the items (madcaller's dagger of red mountain, Stonefalls, for example) carry an extra identity tag marking them as unique, rather than them just being a named item.
AFAIK, this tag system is an artifact from pre-One Tamriel. Before One Tam many of the "unique" items were not part of sets, but were just reward drops from various locations and quests. With One Tam, most "uniques" were made parts of sets (and some sets had their drop locations changed). As I understand it, it was either after that that some of the item tags were changed; or the tags were always inconsistent. I'm now into what we could call gamer folklore, and folklore answers are never satisfying.
All we can really say is at least post-One Tam we can use those items as set items, whereas before that we couldn't.
TLDR: I'm not quite sure.Edited by StytchFingal on May 5, 2019 10:32PM1
