The Prayer ring is a recurring accessory in the Dragon Quest series which was first introduced in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line. It's designed to recharge MP on use, but has a 33.3% risk of breaking. It is a tiny gold band with a cloudy blue pearl fixed on it.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line[edit]

The Prayer ring can be found in various chests and is the second-prize reward from the Tombola. It can be sold for 1950, but this isn't recommended. When used it will restore 25~30 MP in the original, and 20~27 in the remakes. Prayer rings can also be dropped by Archdemons, Magic marionettes, Muddy hands, and Walking corpses.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

The ring can be found in various chests, or purchased in the Super Secret Faerie Village – but only if the party uses the Mod Rod to change shape first. The faerie shop keeper will charge 2,500 gold coin for a ring and buy them back for 1,875 gold coins. One can be found in the queen's bedchamber in Isis at night. They can also be dropped by Abracadabrers and Imps. The ring will restore 10~34 MP in all versions, and it is strongly recommended to stockpile them in advance of the final leg of the journey.

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]

The Prayer ring is a normal item in the original version of the game, but classified as an accessory that increases Defence by 5 in the various remakes, and restores 20~30 MP when used. In the NES version of IV the ring will always break when used in battle. Prayer rings can be dropped by Hell raisers and Pickeerers. The Prayer ring in the DS, and Cell phone remake can be bought at Endor's casino for 500 Casino Tokens and it can be sold for 2,250 gold coins.

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit]

The ring will restore 20~30 MP, but is eclipsed by the more potent Elfin elixir. One can be found at Mt. Batten Pass and another at Gotha during Generation 3, but requires the Ultimate Key to reach it. Prayer rings can also be dropped by Goodybags, Necromancers, and Samiginas.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]

VI is the first game in which the ring is classified as an accessory, owing to the vast increase of equippable ornaments. It increases Defence by +5, Style by +22, and can be worn by Milly, Ashlynn, Terry, and the Hero. It restores 20~30 MP when used. Prayer rings can be purchased at the casinos at Turnscote and Greedmore Valley for 5,000 tokens each. They can be dropped by Hirsute hexers.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]

The ring's fashion factor has dropped considerably for some reason in VII, increasing Style only by +3. It still provides +5 Defence, and anyone not named Kiefer can equip it. When used it will restore 20~30 MP and, in the 3DS remake at least, its chance to break has been reduced to 12.5% (18). In the original Sony PlayStation version, prayer rings can be purchased at the Cathedral evolution of the Immigrant Town for 3,000 gold coins. They can be won as a prize from the Lucky Panel at the casino and also dropped by Trickstars.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]

The Prayer ring once again has a Defence bonus of +5, can be equipped by all characters, and restores 20~30 MP when used. They can be purchased from the item peddler in Argonia for 9,000 gold coins, but he disappears after Dhoulmagus has been defeated, and they can be sold for 1,500 gold coins. At Baccarat's Casino, Prayer rings can be purchased for 1,000 tokens each. They can be dropped rarely by Goodybags and High rollers. A ring can be found in a treasure chest on the world map shortly after leaving the Desert Chapel while another can be found in the center of the continent close to Argonia. One can be found in the barrels at the Black Citadel.

Prayer rings can be created in the Alchemy Pot by combining a Gold ring with a Seed of magic and they can be mixed extensively in different recipes with the use of alchemy:

Flavor text A much-revered ring that answers its wearer's prayers.

In this game, the Prayer ring will completely restore the wearer's HP or MP when they reach max Tension, determined at random, and it does not break when the effect occurs. It can be useful as there are limited means to restoring HP and MP during battles, especially for characters who are able to build Tension easily like Alena. The quick recipe for the Prayer ring can be received from King Flaminio in exchange for 2 Mini medals on the Stonecloud, while the classic and luxury recipes can be dropped rarely by Golems.

Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End[edit]

The Prayer ring slowly regenerates the wearer's MP over time. Once it has been fully upgraded, it will also grant a +11 bonus to the wearer's max MP. The ring can be obtained by exchanging 20 Mini medals once or dropped by Cloud surfers.
