The explorer's ring 1 is a reward from the Beginner Lumbridge achievements, and is obtained from Explorer Jack.

It can be retrieved from Explorer Jack, Bob, or Ned for free if lost. If a higher tier explorer's ring has been obtained, explorer's ring 1 cannot be retrieved for free. If the player already has any of the explorer's rings, they also sell an extra explorer's ring 1 for 500 coins.

• The ring is extremely useful in many quests; for example, its run energy-restoring ability can be put to excellent effectiveness in The Fremennik Trials.
• The ring is useful for survival in the Wilderness for all free players, and also for player killing in the Wilderness.

Trivia

• If a player attempts to restore their run energy when it is already at 100%, it will give a message saying "You are fully rested. You do not need to use the ring's power for the moment." But run energy will be wasted if the player tries to restore run energy at 51-99% run energy level.
• There was a glitch when the ring recharges every day at 00:00 UTC. If a player is logged in at that time, the ring will not be recharged until the next log in, which is now patched.
• Previously, while wearing the ring, the only right-click option available would be to "Operate" it, opening a screen with two or more options. However, after an update on 7 October 2009, right-clicking it when worn will display the options without having to operate it and then select the desired options.
• The Explorer's rings were the only rings to provide a prayer bonus until the addition of the ring of death.
• The Explorer's ring 1, 2 and 3 resemble each other and appear to be made of bronze, silver and gold respectively; however, the explorer ring 4 looks more different. Many people assume that the Explorers ring 4 is made of platinum.
