When 3.5 rolled around and the game devs decided a first level slot for 5 energy resistance was too low a cost and nerfed the energy resistance aspect of Endure Elements, much like the Animal Buffs got nerfed to hell. Definitely the 3.5 devs would have this item be just the 3.5 endure elements spell, no grandfathering in of 5 energy resist.3.0 Endure ElementsAbjurationLevel: Clr 1, Drd 1, Pal 1, Sor/Wiz 1, Strength 1, Sun 1Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 actionRange: TouchTarget: Creature touchedDuration: 24 hoursSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: YesThis abjuration grants a creature limited protection to damage from whichever one of five energy types the character selects: acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic. Each round, the spell absorbs the first 5 points of damage the creature would otherwise take from the specified energy type, regardless of whether the source of damage is natural or magical. The spell protects the recipient’s equipment as well.Endure elements absorbs only damage. The character could still suffer unfortunate side effects.Note: Endure elements overlaps (and does not stack with) resist elements and protection from elements. If a character is warded by protection from elements and one or both of the other spells, the protection spell absorbs damage until it is exhausted. If a character is warded by resist elements and endure elements at the same time, the resist spell absorbs damage but the endure spell does not.3.5 Endure ElementsAbjurationLevel:     Clr 1, Drd 1, Pal 1, Rgr 1, Sor/Wiz 1, Sun 1Components:     V, SCasting Time:     1 standard actionRange:     TouchTarget:     Creature touchedDuration:     24 hoursSaving Throw:     Will negates (harmless)Spell Resistance:     Yes (harmless)A creature protected by endure elements suffers no harm from being in a hot or cold environment. It can exist comfortably in conditions between -50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit without having to make Fortitude saves). The creature’s equipment is likewise protected.Endure elements doesn’t provide any protection from fire or cold damage, nor does it protect against other environmental hazards such as smoke, lack of air, and so forth. It used to give 5 fire resist. In the 3.5 "upgrade" it no longer does, the art no longer fits the ability.Not in 3.5<img src="http://www.wizards.com/global/images/products_dndcore_175240000_lgpic.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> or <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/endureElements.htm" target="_blank">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/endureElements.htm</a></blockquote>
