D&D 5E Rangers and Rings of Animal Influence

[Dragonhelm]

Would a ring of animal influence be a good magic item for a ranger since animal friendship and speak with animals is on the ranger's spell list?

 

[pukunui]

Depends on whether or not the player of said ranger is into communicating with animals. If yes, then absolutely! If not, then perhaps no.

Every spell you don't have to burn a spell slot for, is a spell slot you can use for another spell. If you would use the ring, then it's absolutely a good item. Rangers don't have a lot of spell slots.
