The explorer's ring 4 is a reward for completing all the achievements in the Lumbridge achievements. It is an upgraded version of the explorer's ring 3, obtained from Ned in Draynor Village. It can be retrieved from Explorer Jack, Bob, or Ned for free if lost. If the player already has any of the explorer's rings, they can also buy an extra explorer's ring 4 for 10,000 coins.

The ring is currently the best offensive ring available in free-to-play as it provides a bonus of 15 to all combat styles. Its unlimited teleport to the Falador farm also adds to its popularity; for members, it is also one of the closest teleports to a herb patch.

This repeatable content has a soft reset.

Benefits

Reward	When worn	When operated	At all times
Explorer's ring 1		One charge per day to replenish 50% of run energy
Explorer's ring 2	10% chance of crafting an additional air, earth, fire, or water rune per essence, at the appropriate altar (not the Ourania Runecrafting Altar), granting additional experience	An additional run replenishment charge per day (2 total) 30 runeless casts of Low Level Alchemy per day; requires level 21 Magic.
Explorer's ring 3		An additional run replenishment charge per day (3 total) Cabbageport - Unlimited teleports to the Falador cabbage patch.
Explorer's ring 4		27 runeless casts of Superheat Item per day; requires level 43 Magic 15 runeless casts of High Level Alchemy per day; requires level 55 Magic.	50% chance to not use runes when casting Bones To Bananas, up to 10 times per day Can claim a hamper from the cook once per day

Casting 30 low alchemy, 15 high alchemy and 27 superheat gives 3,336 Magic experience per day (3,586 experience if you include 10 casts of Bones to Bananas). There is a small profit to be made turning bones into bananas depending on the staff equipped and runes used, for details see bones to bananas. If doing it only for Magic experience, add only one bone to inventory at a time as it turns all bones in inventory into bananas for only 25 experience per spell regardless of number of bones.

The ring's Superheat function can be used in the same ways with the exception that it will interrupt actions (such as fletching) when used unlike standard Superheat Item. If ring is used to Superheat an item while smithing, the Smithing activity will pause until the interface to select the item to superheat is closed and then it will resume.

Trivia

• On the day of release a bug prevented the alchemy options to be cast twice at a fast pace. If a player were to use either of the ring's alchemy, they would have to wait until the casting animation was completely over before casting it again, otherwise they would be able to reactivate the spell but unable to actually choose an item to cast it on. This has been fixed.
  • Since then there has been an update to alchemy spells that forces the player to wait for the entire animation of high or low level alchemy with or without the ring. However superheat item can still be cast at twice per animation but using the ring will only allow once per animation.
• The explorer's ring 4 had the ability to alchemise itself. The explorer's ring 2 and 3 became able to alch themselves too since the release of elite tasks, but the bug was fixed on 21 September 2010.
• Effective as of the 2 November 2010 update, the low alchemy, high alchemy and superheat interfaces have been reworked to make them much more user friendly.
• When crafting any elemental runes, while not wearing the ring, the game will display the message: "If you were wearing your explorer's ring you may have earned more runes."
• The explorer's ring is not allowed on Entrana because the Monk of Entrana claim "its magic is too strong and may cause disruption in some areas."
• The explorer's ring alchemy option does not work in Asgarnian Ice Dungeon resource dungeon, where frost dragons reside.
• For free players this and the ring of kinship are the only in-combat escape rings. It also works in the Wilderness.
• Previously it was possible to attempt to cast Bones to Bananas without having any runes in your inventory.
• It cannot be used to cast Low Level Alchemy when in inventory; it must be equipped.
• The 55 Magic requirement for High Level Alchemy can be reached via temporary boosts, similar to the Blast and Hellfire task required to obtain it.
