Ring of stone



A Ring of stone can be made by enchanting an onyx ring using the spell Enchant Level 6 Jewellery. The Ring of stone transforms the player into a lump of rock when worn. The wearer may chat while in stone mode, but any attempts to move will revert the player to their human form. The Ring of stone does not protect the player from any NPC or player attacks, and will unmorph if attacked. Jagex implied in the Game Guide that the Ring of stone may have other future uses. Unlike other rings, this ring is never actually worn. Players are turned to stone the second they click to equip it, and it is already off their hand when they unmorph.

The Ring will not disguise a player very well, since it does not remove a player's white dot from the minimap, nor remove their name from the right click menu. It does, however, pause the poison effect for as long as the player is morphed. Players can take advantage of this by morphing into a rock if poisoned and awaiting assistance from a friend, although viewing the Items Kept on Death interface does the same thing. Players can also use the Ring to remove their player avatar from the screen for purposes of screenshots or video recordings, although the Give Thanks emote removes the player entirely, instead of just turning them to a stone which may look unnatural depending on the environment, though the disappearance effect only lasts a second or two, so it is not particularly useful for cinematography. The Orb of Oculus works even better than these two methods.

Quest uses
During the quest King's Ransom, the player can use a Ring of stone on the statue of King Arthur, instead of the Animate rock scroll supplied during the quest to revert him back to life.

Trivia

 * Players can't use the ring in Castle Wars.
 * The Easter ring uses the same mechanics as the Ring of Stone, but turns the player into an egg. The Bone brooch has similar mechanics as well, turning the player into a pile of bones.
 * Players can rest as a stone, yet it has no effect on their energy restoration.
 * A glitch discovered on 21 April 2008 let players slide around in stone form. This has not yet been fixed.
 * If a player attempts to equip the ring while in the middle of performing an emote, they are met with the message, "You're a little busy showing off right now!"
 * It is possible to wear the ring underwater.
 * A glitch was found 28 October 2009. In Port Phasmatys: if you wear your bedsheet received from Ghosts Ahoy, then equip the ring, when you unmorph, it looks like the sheet has disappeared. If you try to use an emote, your text-box informs you that "The bedsheet gets in the way of your emote". The sheet reappears if headgear is equipped.
 * The Ring of stone is a lot cheaper than the onyx ring, which is due to the fact that onyx rings can be imbued at the Mobilising Armies activity, to create an Onyx ring (i), which has the best overall defensive and offensive stats of any ring in the game. Imbued Fremennik rings have slightly better stats in individual categories.
 * The special attack bar does not replenish while morphed.
 * When you are stunned from a failed pickpocket, if you immediately turn into a rock, the chatbox says: "You can't use the ring while bound by magic."
 * Unlike other rings, besides the Easter ring, you cannot wear this ring.
 * The rock you morph into does not match the updated ores in runescape, however there are some matches of it found on Karamja, Rellekka and Clan Wars.
 * If you are poisoned, turning into a stone will keep the poison from damaging you.
 * When mining rocks were updated on 4/19/11, the Ring of stone's rock remained the old rock.
