Golden Ring

The Golden Ring is a Ring-class piece of equipment available in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Like the other Golden Items, the Golden Ring is automatically acquired at a certain point in the game (in this case, upon entering Champa for the first time), but only if the player met certain requirements in the preceding game and transferred that game's data to The Lost Age. The Golden Ring can be bought for 4000 coins and sold for 3000 coins. If broken, it can be sold for 2000 coins or repaired for 1000 coins.

Like most Rings in The Lost Age, the Golden Ring has no effect when equipped and instead is used as an item during battle (it does not need to be equipped to be used in this manner) to emulate the Resist Psynergy, which temporarily increases the Resistances of all active party members by 20. This effect can be used repeatedly to increase Resistances by a maximum of 80 points, although there is a chance the Golden Ring might break each time it is used.

The Golden Ring is arguably the easiest of the golden items to obtain since the player is not required to battle in order to receive it. In Golden Sun, after Master Hama teaches Ivan how to use Reveal, follow Hama and Feizhi to the Alpine Crossing, where Feizhi's friend Hsu is trapped under a boulder. The player must use Reveal to reach Hsu and then use Lift to raise the boulder while Hama and Feizhi pull Hsu to safety. In The Lost Age, Feizhi arrives in Champa to give Isaac the Golden Ring as a good luck charm. Since Isaac isn’t around, she gives it to Felix so that he can give it to Isaac for her, although the player is free to do with it as he/she wants.
