-The ring of poison resistance is an excellent boon to any early hero that is not a [[Barbarian]], [[Healer]], [[Monk]], or an [[Orc (starting race)|orc]] in any role. A hero that can [[identify]] one early can use it to obtain intrinsic poison resistance safely from appropriate raw [[corpse]]s, and may elect to hang on to the ring and/or similar extrinsic sources such as an [[amulet versus poison]] in case they lose the property to [[intrinsic theft]] in the future.

-Identifying the ring of poison resistance can be tricky, especially with [[price identification]]: while most rings with a base cost of 150zm are harmless, with only the [[ring of aggravate monster]] being potentially undesirable to wear, there are very few reliable methods to test for the resistance that do not endanger the hero outside of [[enlightenment]]. Dropping a ring of poison resistance into a [[sink]] produces a distinct message, making it useful for testing with duplicate rings.
