Gil hands over the Burglar's Ring after five hundred Dust Sprites have been cleared out of the Mines, and it is the one ring that changes how profitable fighting is rather than how survivable. With it on, the game rolls each monster's drop table twice instead of once, so a run through the Skull Cavern comes back with roughly double the loot. That makes it the ring of choice for anyone chasing Bat Wings for Special Orders, Bone Fragments for the museum or simply more Iridium Ore per bomb. Dust Sprites are generous targets as well, since the floors between forty and seventy nine of the Mines are full of them and they die to almost anything. Marlon sells spares for 20,000g once the goal is finished, which matters because the ring is often worth two of itself.

Location

The Monster Eradication list hangs on the wall to the right of Marlon's desk, and the Dust Sprite entry asks for five hundred kills. Gil gives the ring out as soon as the count is reached. From then on Marlon keeps it in stock at 20,000g, which is the only way to replace one that has been sold or lost.

Effect

The ring does not increase the size of a drop. It gives every item on a monster's list a second independent chance to appear, which is why the result averages out at twice the loot rather than exactly twice. A monster that normally yields one Slime might yield two, or might yield none at all on a bad roll.

A second Burglar's Ring adds nothing. The game checks whether one is equipped and stops there, so the other finger is better spent on an Iridium Band or a Lucky Ring. The effect does stack with the power granted by the Monster Compendium, however, which means the two together produce more loot than either alone.

A short list of drops sit outside the system because of how they are added to a monster in the first place. Prismatic Shards and Diamonds from monsters below the bottom of the Mines stay single, as do Slime Eggs from Slimes, Iridium Ore and Iridium Bars from Purple Slimes, Algae Soup from Mutant Grubs, Iridium Bars from Iridium Golems, Qi Gems and Ginger from Stick Bugs, and the Gold Coins a Parrot Egg produces. Wilderness Golems and Iridium Golems also keep their Mixed Seeds, Omni Geode, Iridium Ore and Prismatic Shard drops single.

Notes

The ring is a serious help on the Special Orders that ask for Monster Loot. Fragments Of The Past wants Bone Fragments and Juicy Bugs Wanted wants Bug Meat, and both of those timers feel much shorter with the ring on.

Big Slimes in the Skull Cavern sometimes hide a Pink Cake, a Qi Gem or a Galaxy Soul inside them. The ring does not change how often that happens, but when it does happen the farmer is handed two of the item instead of one. The same works on Prismatic Jelly and Ectoplasm, although a second one of those does nothing for the Wizard's Special Order. Special monsters in the Mines keep their special drops single.

Green is the ring's dye pot, over at Emily and Haley's house, though parting with this particular ring for the sake of a shirt would be a strange decision.

At the Forge the ring belongs with something that has nothing to do with loot, because the loot half is already as good as it gets. An Iridium Band is the common choice, adding light, item pull and ten percent more damage to the same finger for twenty Cinder Shards.
