When you first get it, it will have no stats, but give it time and it will evolve into the best ring you own! The Evolving Ring can evolve up to 17 times, once per day!

This is what you have to do to start getting your evolving ring: Log in and talk to NPC Cody at Event Map to receive a ring. This ring will have no stats. Explore the new Maple World for 1 hour. If you log out not having stayed the full hour, the ring will disappear. When you have stayed the full hour in Maple World, your ring will evolve into a level 1 ring automatically! This is what will need to do from 2nd to 17th times of the evolving process: Log in and tell NPC Cody you want to evolve your ring. He will give you a box. Explore the new Maple World for an hour. If you log out not having stayed the full hour, the box will disappear. When you have stayed the hour, the box will automatically open up to reveal a potion. Take the potion back to Cody to evolve your ring. Be sure to talk to NPC Cody from 0000HRS, 27th July 2011 to 28th July 2011, 2359HRS (+8 GMT) to evolve your ring one last time to change your ring into TRADEABLE!
