The '''life ring''' is a recurring accessory in the {{DQSeries}} that first appeared in {{DQ3}}.

It gradually restores {{HP}} as the wearer walks around, similar to the [[Auroral Armour]] from {{III}} and the [[Circle of Life]] in {{V}}.

==Localization history==
The Japanese name いのちのゆびわ (ring of life) was first localized in English as the [[recovery ring]] in 2005 for the international release of {{Dragon Quest VIII}}. It was retained for the 2008 localization of {{Dragon Quest IV}} but was replaced with the life ring term in the 2010 localization of {{Dragon Quest IX}}, and then reinstated in 2014 with the Android/iOS localization of {{Dragon Quest III}}. Beginning with the 2016 localization of {{Dragon Quest VII}} the recovery name has been retired outside of reuse in iterations of ''Dragon Quest III''.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ7}}===
The Life ring has a {{Defence}} bonus of +5, a {{Style}} bonus of +8, and restores the wearer's {{HP}} while walking. It can be equipped by all characters. One can be found in the [[Cathedral of Blight]] and another can be found at the Bazaar evolution of [[The Haven|Immigrant Town]] in the [[Sony PlayStation]] version of the game. They can also be dropped rarely by [[Gem slime]]s and [[Merderer]]s.
*In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the game, the second Life ring can be found at the penultimate evolution of [[The Haven]] after the events at [[Buccanham]].
