There is an alternative: Mechagon rings. These are BIS at 10/11. 2 socket rings are BIS at 20 but the Mechagon rings aren't that much worse. Mechagon rings can proc a socket too. It's a grind though. 7 Galvanic Oscillators per attempt (when 3/7 of the rewards are unusable trinkets and 1 of the rings is a Mastery ring, which is worthless to a Warrior).
Other than that, these jeweler settings are usuable on any ring that drops from a dungeon in the current M+ rotation so we already know what dungeons we can farm for the next 6 months.
The advantage NW has is that 2 different rings drop from there (from different bosses). That's kinda nice.
Lastly, are you sure the rings are actually soulbound? If the rings are an upgrade for your toon, the first time they drop you won't be able to trade them away. I believe this shows up as just making them soulbound. You can probably mediate this by getting better rings beforehand, like from TW. I mean you can't do that this week anymore.

Perhaps there was an update. But as of less than a month ago. You were able to trade rings to a toon that did the skip from either boss

Sorry to hear this hasn't been rectified.
I don't see the rationale in trading gear to the toons, I'd just re-roll; but.... whatever floats yer boat, I reckon.
Have any of you all opened tickets about this?

I opened a ticket about it today. Definitely feels like I'm being cheated by an arbitrary, yet irreversible, menu decision, especially for outdated content.
I'm using Timewalking rings for now, but it doesn't feel good to know I'm missing out on much better.

“Now” on March 4th
Also inb4 everyone is mad when SL dungeons for season 2 are also borked for people who did the skip lmao

I mean, they will be.
I would re-roll NOW while you can still grab the NW rings, before S2 begins.
Else-wise you'll be doing the doofy trading thing, which just sucks.

Why will SL dungeons be borked in S2?

For players who either accidentally or unknowingly skipped the Oribos intro, their SL dungeon loot is all Lvl 50 req....
since you missed the title of the Thread:
" Necrotic Wake loot now level 50? "
This bug has yet to have been rectified.

It is tradeable but the premise is you have to get them twice. I created a new twink on another account but when that twink received the first ring, it was untradeable. The second time it dropped, I was able to trade it to my main.

Yeah, this is an annoying problem. Generally speaking, you can't trade away any item that is better than anything you've previously received for that slot. It'll become immediately soulbound and won't say it can be traded for the next 4 hours.
Where possible you can avoid this by just getting some crap drop you want of sufficient ilvl, even if it's a BoE. That's hard to do in some situations. For example, at 11, TW items are ilvl 60. You won't find another item at ilvl 60 easily to get around this trade restricvtion but if, for example, you're farming ilvl 30 drops from TBC dungeons, that's a little easier to do.
Depending on your level, you might be able to avoid the frist ring trade exclusion with the cheapest to produce Mechagon rings but they still require 4 Galvanic Oscillators, which might mean doing as many as 4 of the daily WQ if you don't get lucky with GO drops from chests and rares. It's probably not worth it.

For what it's worth, I got two rings from Theatre of Pain today for my level 11 twink and I was able to equip them and give them two extra gem sockets each. I think the reason is because now that a new season has begun, Theater of Pain is currently in the mythic plus category if you go that far while Necrotic Wake no longer is it for S2. Regardless, I can confirm it worked for my Paladin so I don't see why it wouldn't for you guys too.

There was something weird about the loot from NW for the toons who skipped the Oribos intor shit.
I deliberately skipped it to make an 11 just for Choreghast & found that the rest of the loot from NW dropped at my level, but the ring & other loot from the first boss came in at lvl 50 req.
