2.what can I do with rings of disengagement and hangmans besides transmuting them into arcane shards?

1. Some characters have a use for apples.
2. You can turn them into signets instead of arcane shards. Unique rings, amulets, jewels and quivers can turn into signets.
3. Perfect gems are very useful. They are used to unsocket runewords so you can reroll them and to create elixirs.

1. Could you tell me which ones and why?
2. Signets of learning right? But that requires killing Izual on Terror, so its a far route ahead of me.

Hi,

1) Eat one every 10 minutes while killing monsters, sell the rest
2) You can enhance the disengagement ring with mystic orbs if you have the gold and wear it while levelling. Otherwise yes, disenchant.
3) Socket them in your gear, unique & rare items can be unsocketed nearly for free with a vendor item, without losing anything in the process. There are some recipes (check the docs cube page) that use pgems later on.

1. Pretty sure some characters have skills that gain bonuses while eating an apple, there are uniques that do. Example:
Chober Chaber
Chober Chaber
Hand of God (Sacred)

Two-Hand Damage: 104 to 105
(Paladin Only)
Required Level: 100
Required Strength: 832
Item Level: 105
Strength Damage Bonus: (0.16 per Strength)%
Amazing Grace
Level 30 Kraken Stance
Adds 150-375 Fire, Cold, and Lightning Damage
Kraken Stance: +3% Damage per Base Level in the Templar Tree
(100 to 150)% Attack Speed
Ignore Target's Defense
Adds 150-300 Fire Damage
Adds 150-300 Lightning Damage
Adds 150-300 Cold Damage
-(25 to 35)% to Enemy Elemental Resistances
Socketed (6)

2. Yeah signets of learning

1. So they are really usefull for some chars, but they drop fairy often so it's probably not worthy to stack them, right? I am playing melee necro and lightning/cold sorc and I didn't see any skill that benefits from apples. Don't know about the items thou, I don't want to spoil the fun and be suprised when I am identyfing them ;)

Thank you suckbalance and DeanLew for the answers:)
