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. It might be useful in situations where you do not wish for other players to see what gear you are wearing, such as during wars.

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

 * Mining rocks were graphically updated twice before the ring's rock was updated to match (Patch notes of 4 October 2011).
 * It was often rumored that the Ring of Stone would be perfect camoflauge for exploring in the wilderness. This, however, is not recommended. Morphing into the stone does not prevent you from getting attacked, and does not make you "Minable". A cheaper alternative is the bone brooch.
