 Like some other resistance rings, the ring of cold resistance may be worth wearing early on to deal with obstacles such as an early [[wand of cold]], or else as aid in obtaining the property intrinsically: for example, [[blue jellies]] are [[sessile]] but cannot be attacked in melee without triggering their cold passives, and [[winter wolves]] and [[Winter wolf cub|their cubs]] can generate in the early game and cause severe damage with their breath. Their [[corpse]]s and [[tin]]s along of such monsters also serve as decent sources of the intrinsic - additionally, once you have [[reflection]], most sources of cold damage are also unlikely to be a concern.
