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.
