Ring of Divine Suffering
Three marked hunter kills add twelve Constitution to Carl and level the ring again to five stat points per future victim.
Story so far
Fast raids make deliberate marking difficult, but Carl successfully marks three more hunters. Constitution is the highest stat for all three, yielding four points each under the ring's previous level.
After the third qualifying death, the ring advances. Future marks now award five base points in the slain target's highest stat, making it an increasingly powerful source of focused growth.
Appearance
A dark enchanted ring whose stat-reward indicator advances from four to five.
Role
The ring accelerates Carl's Constitution growth and approach toward Donut's total stats.
Relationships
Carl — He uses it during the hunter raids and receives the stat gains.
Princess Donut — Its growth contributes to Carl approaching her party-control threshold.
