Desirability[]
Rings of Damage are moderately useful, though moreso during early stages of the game when the bonuses are larger relative to the PC's innate damage level.
Note that the bonus is smaller on the character's left hand; this leads some to advocate wearing the ring on the left hand if the cursed/blessed status of the ring is not yet known, to lower the penalty if the ring is indeed cursed.
A blessed ring of damage becomes obsolete once a ring of slaying is found.
Guaranteed/Common sources[]
They can be generated in the same manner as all generic loot.
