Iridium Band (I'd feel bad not using this after all the trouble I went through to make it)
I don't think that I would choose any other ring as my #1, that's how essential I feel the Iridium Band is! Without +Magnetism, Mining is just...
uggh! And you also get the other bonuses, which are all great, too.
Slime Charmer Ring (The iridium slimes are pretty nasty)
Purple Slimes are pretty nasty, but if you've got a decent source of food and/or don't mind some dodging-and-weaving, I'd leave this one at home. There are other rings that affect more than one type of monster, such as the...
Burgler Ring (The iridium drops are a big reason I want to get through skull cavern in the first place)
...Burglar's Ring! :D
I always like to bring this one with me, even if I don't have it equipped all the time. Although, most of the time, I do! The extra Bombs from Serpents, the additional Crab Cakes from Iridium Crabs, the bonus Batteries from Iridium Bats, the increase in Iridium Ore & Bars from Purple Slimes, and the higher chance of Dinosaur Eggs from Pepper Rexes all add up to make my loot haul feel more special!
So I'd probably choose this for your #2. :)
Lucky Ring (I've seen a lot of people saying that this ring and luck in general are super important)
This thread has more information about luck, and keep in mind while reading that the Lucky Ring adds +1 to LuckLevel, not dailyLuck.
Personally I can't say I've noticed a difference between wearing a Lucky Ring and not, but clever people say it makes a fair amount of difference, and I trust those people! ;D
I would still choose the Burglar's Ring, though, because you can add +Luck through food, but nothing else in the game doubles the amount of monster drops you get.
TLDR: I would go for Iridium Band + Burglar's Ring.
Hope this helps!
