I believe they're rare? If so, they can't be augmented. I think I've heard of using them in PvP to increase resistance to certain enfeebling spells, although it seems like too great of a trade-off to me.

No offense, but that was kind of a stupid question. When a ring is named "Malflood Ring" wtf do you expect it to do?

idk they drop from NMs so i was expecting them to have SOME use other than being a complete waste of space...but then again over half of the gear in FFXI is just used to take up space

Anyone who says Elemental resistance is pointless has obviously never tanked Tiamat in Byakko's Haidate with their +50 Lightning Resist.

Elemental resistances go for enfeebling spells too. Which is why it absolutely sucks to have Paralyze on with SH and its -15 Ice resistance.

Never said it was pointless, iv seen the tanks in my endgame shell survive magic attacks from kirin while the rest of that area wipes due to his resist...but i was kind of hoping for something like a hidden effect +acc or something like smart grenade or something but..apparently not

Edit: But no, iv never tanked tiamat...honestly never even fought him

Lol.

And:
This page has all the info on hidden and latent effects. If you do not see something here, then chances are it does not have a known latent effect.

I could be wrong, I've never fought Tiamat, or cared about him enough to read all that much into him.. but wouldn't Lightning +50 be pointless with Tiamat being "Fire based"? >.>

Damnit. I knew something looked wrong. I meant to say Suzaku's Sune-Ate. c.c;

Not entirely true..SE has said there's a crapload of items that have hidden effects that we are unaware of, that are out there today. Most likely it's all crappy items that nobody uses.
