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 wearer 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. Also, Jagex implies that the Ring of stone may have other future uses. Some practical tactics using a ring of stone could be in Castle Wars or other safe PvP mini-games, as unsafe ones risk a chance of losing your ring. To execute this tactic, simply morph, and then ambush unsuspecting players.

Since processes such as poisoning stop when in this form, players could potentially use it in times when they are at risk of dying by morphing to that form and asking a friend to come to their aid.

Note: the Ring of Stone does NOT shield the wearer from attack by NPCs (or by players in areas where PvP attack is allowed), nor does it fool NPCs into not attacking if they encounter the wearer in stone form. A player attacked while in "rock" form will unmorph into human form. If a player is running at the time, the rock will move across the ground unnaturally, which is a give-away in PvP minigames and PvP worlds. This ring can be used while resting but with no bonuses to your recovery rate

The Ring Of Stone also does not take away the player's white dot on the mini-map. The dot does not turn red or disapear, but remains the same. This can be used to find a morphed player in PVP worlds.

The Ring of Stone is often used by video makers wanting to record someone else without themselves in the shot. It makes the themselves blend into the background, so it looks as if they are not there. However, it is hard to blend completely in, so if you wanted a perfect shot, it would be more efficient to ask the other person to record instead of you.

The Ring of Stone could be used to blend in with a mining spot but this soon changed when jagex updated the look of rocks, but not the Ring of Stone. But, there are still some rocks available for doing this:


 * North-west of the Tower of Life
 * South-east of the Fight Arena
 * Most of the rocks in Crandor



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. This is currently the only other use this item has.

Trivia

 * This ring has similar functions to the Easter ring
 * The player does not actually "wear" the ring, rather, clicking the wear option simply morphs the player.
 * On 21 April 2008 you could walk around while using a ring of stone thus looking like a walking rock.
 * 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.
 * The ring does NOT hide the above-head skull caused by joining a PvP server.
 * The ring of stone has been rising in price significantly over the past few months. In June of 2009 it was around 230k, now, in October of 2009, it is at a market price of 1.1 million GP. Many players are suspecting a non public merchanting clan as the cause of this significant price rise. Another possible reason if the personalised shop update which increased the price of the onyx gem from 200,000 tokul to 2,700,000 tokul.
