What is Band of Crimson Fury?
Band of Crimson Fury is an ilvl 125 epic caster ring from WoW: The Burning Crusade, a quest reward for killing Magtheridon in the 25-man raid Magtheridon's Lair. The ring gives a combination of Intellect, Stamina, Hit Rating, and Spell Power, and lands in Phase 1 Best in Slot for several caster specs: Warlock (Affliction, Destruction, Demonology), Balance Druid, Fire Mage. Hit rating on a ring slot is rare in early TBC phases, and that's what makes Band of Crimson Fury so valuable - it frees up hit budget across the rest of your gear.
You can buy Band of Crimson Fury through a cheap and fast boost service instead of gambling an evening on a pug where three people don't understand what Manticron Cubes are for. The ring is guaranteed by the quest, the raid takes half an hour with a prepared team, and all you do is pick your reward and get back to what actually matters in TBC Anniversary.
Magtheridon's Lair Ring Choices: Full Comparison
| Ring | Role | Stamina | Intellect | Hit Rating | Spell Power | Other Stats |
| Band of Crimson Fury | Caster DPS | 22 | 22 | 16 | 28 | - |
| A'dal's Signet of Defense | Tank | 30 | - | - | - | +23 Def Rating |
| Naaru Lightwarden's Band | Healer | 22 | 22 | - | 28 | +11 MP5 |
| Ring of the Recalcitrant | Melee/Phys | 22 | - | 16 | - | +30 AP, +22 Agi |
Band of Crimson Fury is the only ring out of the four with both Hit Rating and Spell Power. For caster DPS there's no alternative in this quest: Naaru Lightwarden's Band is a healing ring with MP5, and Ring of the Recalcitrant plus A'dal's Signet of Defense serve physical roles. Picking the wrong ring is a mistake that sticks for all of Phase 1, because the quest is one-time only and Magtheridon's Head won't drop again for the same character.
