The '''[[File:Puzzle-ring-icon.jpg|left]][[File:Puzzle-ring-db.jpg|thumb|320px|Puzzle Ring.]][[Puzzle Ring''' ]] is a [[legendary item ring]] that can be found in Diablo 3 classicand Reaper of Souls. This item can only be found and equipped by any class.

The ==Puzzle Ring is properties== This item has one of the more creative [[legendary affix]]es in the game. It summons a [[Treasure Goblin]] who follows your character around, picking up [[white]] items. Every 12-16 items (number set for when ring first rolls) he'll drop a massive increase in utility in Reaper of Soulsrare item, with hundreds of new passive bonuses tied to or occasionally a legendary ringsitem.  The goblin looks just like a normal goblin but as a pet it can not be targeted or attacked. It makes all the usual goblin sound effects, chuckling and giggling and most players find it amusing, though occasionally confusing as they mistake it (visually or audibly) for a real goblin. * All stats listed in the database scale up to the level of this item when dropped.* See the sample screenshots below to see how this item will roll at level 70. {||'''Puzzle Ring apparently one : Legendary ring that may spawn with one '''* Minimum Item Level: 32* Minimum Clvl Req: 29 Primary Affixes:* {{c_blue|One of 3 Magic Properties (varies)}}** {{c_blue|+85–108 Dexterity}}** {{c_blue|+85–108 Strength}}** {{c_blue|+85–108 Intelligence}}* {{c_blue|One of 2 Magic Properties (or more?varies) }}** {{c_blue|Attack Speed Increased by 4.0–5.0%}}** {{c_blue|Attack Speed Increased by 3.0–4.0%}}* {{c_blue|+2 random primary affixes }} Secondary Affixes:* {{c_blue|One of 2 Magic Properties (varies)}}** {{c_blue|+11–12% Extra Gold from Monsters}}** {{c_blue|+13–14% Extra Gold from Monsters}}* {{c_orange|Summon a treasure goblin who picks up normal-quality items for you. <br>After picking up 12–16 items, he drops a rare item with a chance <br>for a legendary.}} {{C_gold|''Clearly the potential bonusesproduct of an ingenious and befuddling mind, much as numerous <br>this ring has interlocking pieces that rotate and shift <br>to reveal strange glowing patterns.

Like all legendaries below level 60 it was only useful around the level it dropped at, (31 for this item) since legendary items didn't scale up in level prior to [[Loot 2.0]] . Furthermore, the ring required the goblin to pick up 40 white items to spawn a rare or legendary, which took forever, even with the much higher white item drop rates in D3v.  (That said, white items had zero use at that point, since white materials weren't in the game, so the goblin would eventually scrounge up 40 of them if a player played through most of an Act in one game. The ring was only level 31 so not usable on a character in the end game, but the ring worked if equipped on a Follower.<ref>[[Mara's Kaleidoscopehttp://blues.incgamers.com/Posts/10/1/40/819/180903/puzzle-ring-clarification--blue-please#postId_485344 Ring on Followers]] do - Blizzard, 22/08/12</ref>) The items the Goblin dropped were set by the difficulty level the player was in. This was before scaling difficulty levels, back in the days of 4 tiers of difficulty that had to be replayed to progress. The level of the items the goblin dropped was set by the difficulty level, with no regard for which Act the player was in. * Normal - lvl 13<br>* Nightmare - lvl 35<br>* Hell - lvl 53<br>* Inferno - lvl 61  ===The Puzzle Ring in Loot 2.0=== The Puzzle Ring was one of the legendary items previewed in late 2013 when the developers began talking up Reaper of Souls and the improvements they had planned for legendary items in [[D3VLoot 2.0]], and the changes to the stats excited players.

[[File:Not long after that the Reaper of Souls beta began, and there players got to try out the Puzzle-ring-gamescomRing.jpg|center|thumb|700px|D3V version on There were problems since Blizzard hadn't updated the left, with a sample of ring to match the RoS new game version on the right. GamescomLoot 2.0 changed drop rates for everything, and made white items much less likely to drop, 2013essentially limiting them to armor racks.And even if white items could be found, players needed to pick up them up and salvage them for white [[materials]], which were required in most crafting recipes in the RoS beta.

The level ===Reaper of the [[Treasure Goblin]] summoned by a Puzzle Ring is based on what difficulty the wearer is currently playing through. If you're playing in Normal, you'll summon a lower level goblin; if you're playing in Inferno, you'll summon a higher level goblin.Souls post-release buff===

* Normal Blizzard lowered the number of items required from 40 to (12- lvl 1316) when Reaper of Souls launched, but the ring still had some other issues, which were addressed in a patch in May 2014.<brref>* Nightmare [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/treasure- lvl 35<br>* Hell goblin-puzzle-ring-improvements-in-diablo-3-patch-2-0-5 Puzzle Ring upgraded] - lvl 53Blizzard, 15/05/14<br/ref>* Inferno - lvl 61)

<blue>The Puzzle Ring goblins have been scouring Sanctuary for better loot the goblin drops will then be based on its level (not the wearer's level or the level requirement on the ring), so what you get really depends on what you're doing at the time. The ring works on [[Follower]]s. <ref>[httpto drop://blues.incgamers.com/Posts/10/1/40/819/180903/puzzle-ring-clarification--blue-please#postId_485344 Ring on Followers] - Blizzard, 22/08/12</ref>
