I'm on DL9 with RotDG and YHTNTEP and no mods, and I've just acquired this ring after killing a monster zoo. I've searched online and can't seem to find anything about it. I was wondering if it had any hidden attributes, otherwise this is the worst 10 star drop I've seen. Anyone have any clue? Or is it just a crap ring? (There's also a typo in the description)
Nvm, just found out about a "Dredmorpedia" and it's just an Elder Ring, with horrific random stats. Oh well.
Sadly, you got a crap drop. Per Daynab, the "stars" on an item only affect price and Museum XP value. They have no direct correlation to the number of enchants an item has. As for the ring, you can look it up and any other item in the base game via the Dredmorpedia (assembled by J-Factor).

Actually, if you Krong it once, it should gain a number of enchantments equal to its native artifact quality. This is why kronging blank Universal Principles can get you some hilariously awesome stuff.
But since his ring already had an enchantment (dismal though it was), doesn't that mean it isn't a blank item as far as the game goes? Or are you saying that it could still get blank Universal Principles enchants despite having that 1 Crushing Enchant?
