Best 11.0.7 Citrine Ring Gems

With the arrival of patch 11.0.7, players now have access to a brand-new ring, Cyrce's Circlet. While it may appear similar to the Dragonflight’s Onyx Annulet at first glance, Cyrce's Circlet introduces a variety of unique mechanics that make it stand out. The key feature lies in its three gem sockets—Thunder, Sea, and Wind—that allow for synergistic effects, creating powerful combinations depending on the Citrines you use. In this guide, we’ll break down the different gem effects and provide a tiered evaluation of each.

Overview of Cyrce's Circlet

Cyrce's Circletbegins at an item level of 619 and can be upgraded to 639 over six weeks. While it offers unique mechanics, its overall power is somewhat underwhelming compared to other equal item-level rings, even after recent hotfixes. However, with the right Citrine combinations, upgradingCyrce's Circletbeyond your current rings' levels can make it a worthwhile improvement.
