The Ring of Miserly Protection is a C-rank passive item in Enter the Gungeon. Picking up the Ring of Miserly Protection will give you two heart containers, but the containers will disappear as soon as you purchase anything from any shop in the Gungeon.
Dropping the item to bypass the shop condition will cause the item to disappear as well, and it is for this same reason the item cannot be sold at the Sell Creep.
Is the Ring of Miserly Protection a good item in Enter The Gungeon?
The Ring of Miserly Protection is a good item in Enter the Gungeon. Extra health containers are always valuable around the Gungeon. Not only does it give you more leeway when taking damage, but it also lets you take more risks when fighting multiple enemies in the Gungeon.
The only caveat is that you won’t be able to purchase anything from shops while this item is help, or rather, purchasing from shops will cause the item to break and you to lose the two heart containers.

The restriction is easily bypassed by stealing or by picking up the Pig and activating the Porkulent Synergy.
