The Soul Eater Ring is a ring that increases the appearance rate of souls. This accessory usually isn't available at the beginning of the game, but eventually appears at the shop once certain criteria has been met. It's generally the most expensive item in a game by far and obtaining the required wealth to purchase it can become a difficult task by itself.
Dawn of Sorrow introduced a new mechanic called Weapon Synthesis in which both a specific weapon as well as a soul are required in order to create a new, more powerful weapon. This in turn allows the resulting weapons to be combined with yet other souls to create even more powerful weapons. In addition to this, certain areas of the game can only be accessed through the use of certain souls. As such, the acquisition of a number of determined souls does become mandatory in order to obtain the best ending and/or to have access on the best arsenal the game has to offer. Because of this, the Soul Eater Ring has much more relevance this time around than in the previous game.

Once again, Hammer sells this ring at his shop for 300,000G, although it isn't available from the beginning and will only appear after defeating the Puppet Master in the Demon Guest House. Equipping the ring will double the rate at which souls drop in the standard game. Like in the previous game, it also boosts LCK +5.

Nonetheless, since acquiring the ring as soon as possible is much more important in this game, the player may opt to actually farm certain souls in order to synthesize them with weapons at Yoko's shop as much as necessary and then sell the resulting and more valuable weapons to Hammer to make profit and eventually become able to afford the ring.

A relatively quick way to obtain the necessary wealth to afford the ring consists in crafting and selling as many Joyeuses as necessary (each worth 25,000G), which in addition to the amount of gold the player has collected during their adventure, as well as selling any other extra inventory they have picked up, should at one point suffice to acquire the necessary wealth to purchase the ring. Taking the two latter factors in consideration, it shouldn't take more than crafting three or four Joyeuses to finally afford the ring after making a first run through all the main areas of the castle (see the Joyeuse article for the specific weapons and souls required to forge it).
