Wearing a ring of cold resistance conveys the cold resistance extrinsic.

Identification
Dropping a ring of cold resistance into a sink produces the message, "The cold water faucet flashes brightly for a moment."

Strategy
A ring of cold resistance is usually used to help obtain intrinsic cold resistance, since most monsters that convey cold resistance have powerful cold attacks (like blue jellies and winter wolves).
