In the evolving landscape of World of Warcraft, players often grapple with keeping their gear up to par, especially after periods of inactivity. Blizzard addresses this challenge by regularly introducing catch-up gear designed for players returning to the game. Although this Warbound gear may not possess extraordinary features, it serves as a vital resource for those who have recently completed the campaign yet paused their gameplay for several months.
With the recent content update titled Siren Isle, Blizzard introduced a noteworthy accessory: Cyrce’s Circlet. This unique ring not only acts as effective catch-up gear but also boasts impressive stats right from the start, beginning at item level 639. This rating equates it to loot obtainable from the final bosses of Nerub-ar Palace, thereby appealing to players seeking to bolster their equipment swiftly.
Updated on January 23, 2025 by Paul Woodward: Initially conceived as an Island Expedition for Battle For Azeroth, Siren Isle has since been transformed into a standalone experience within The War Within. Player feedback on Siren Isle has been mixed, but it undoubtedly offers engaging content for fans as they await the anticipated Patch 11.1 release later this year. While Cyrce’s Circlet may not be the ultimate ring available, its utility can’t be overstated for players not engaged in Mythic raids.
Acquiring Cyrce’s Circlet
Upon reaching Siren Isle, one of your top priorities should be obtaining Cyrce’s Circlet. Focus on completing quests marked with a distinctive purple triangle and an exclamation point; these will guide you toward unlocking this powerful ring. As you progress through the questline, you’ll either take on the task of repairing the ring yourself or witness the Earthen performing the restoration.
Cyrce’s Circlet comes equipped with impressive attributes right out of the box:
- Item Level: 639
- +13,614 Stamina
The ring includes three special sockets designed for unique gems acquired exclusively on Siren Isle:
- Singing Thunder Socket
- Singing Sea Socket
- Singing Wind Socket
Gems can be embedded into these sockets and adjusted over time, mirroring features from Mists of Pandaria Remix. Access to a limited selection of gems is guaranteed, though some may be time-gated. Here’s an overview of the available gems and their effects:

Enhancing the Item Level of Cyrce’s Circlet
After securing Cyrce’s Circlet, players gain the ability to enhance its item level. This enhancement is achieved through collecting Raw Singing Citrine, which players can earn by completing a set of unlocking quests, starting with “Uncovering Mysteries,”the first quest in the sequence that awards Raw Singing Citrine.
Using Raw Singing Citrine elevates the item level of Cyrce’s Circlet by three points, further augmenting the Stamina bonus it provides. As the item level increases, so too does the effectiveness of the equipped gems. For instance, when raised to item level 642, the Windsinger’s Runed Citrine improves your highest secondary stat from 1,887 to 2,236, showcasing the tangible benefits of upgrading your gear.
