A ring of death is a ring made by enchanting a hydrix ring with Enchant Level 6 Jewellery (requiring level 87 Magic) or an enchant onyx tablet. It has two passive effects when worn:

• When a target is killed, there is a 50% chance of restoring the wearer's adrenaline by 1% for every 1,500 of the target's maximum life points, to a maximum of 5% adrenaline.
• If the wearer dies, they will be teleported to the last respawn hub visited, with all items intact (including familiars) and stats restored, at a cost of 15% of the ring's charge (effectively costing 992,925 coins). When this happens, the player receives the message: Your ring of death glows brightly shrouding you from death's gaze for 15% of its charge. This effect does not work while in the Wilderness and will not activate for Hardcore Ironman accounts.

When using the ring, one should consider the risk of dying while fighting a boss, and how much it costs to reclaim their items from Death. If the reclaim cost is lower than the value stated above (either due to item degradation or artificial values), players are better off paying Death or reclaiming the items themselves. It should always be taken to any boss encounter where high-level gear and/or switches are used, to offset the costs of dying should it occur, such as Nex: Angel of Death and Solak.

The ring currently has the second highest style bonuses of any ring behind its imbued version, as well as the highest Prayer bonus of any ring.

The ring degrades to a broken state after 100,000 hits in combat; as with all enchanted hydrix jewellery, it can be recharged by 50% by using a cut onyx on it (so a full recharge effectively costs 6,619,500 coins).

Note: When attempting to wear a new (tradeable) ring of death, a warning message will appear stating that if you wear it, it will become permanently untradeable. Even if it is not used or onyxes are used to return it to full charges, it remains untradeable. If the ring is lost in the Wilderness, the killer is rewarded with 625,000 coins and the ring is not reobtainable.

The ring of death can be imbued by the Armoursmith for 15,000 Teci, making the ring of death (i). This increases damage bonuses by 2.5 and retains all special effects and degradation.

The ring can be overcharged by Death for 5 cut onyx and 25 black stone hearts, after unlocking the ability to overcharge the ring for 150 Reaper points, making the ring of death (o). This increases the equipment charges to 500,000, making each death drain 3% charge and onyxes repair 10% charge each. Rings can be both imbued and overcharged, in either order, making the ring of death (i)(o).

Trivia

• Prior to 17 August 2015, the ring of death, like all hydrix jewellery, degraded to dust.
• The ring previously enabled Hardcore Ironmen to keep all their items after dying but this was disabled.

Update history

The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. See here for how to help out!

• ninja 23 November 2020 (Update):

  • Overcharged rings of death can now be worn via the action bar.

• ninja 1 April 2019 (Update):
  • Death's store now offers an overcharge option for the Ring of Death. Unlocking the option costs 150 reaper points, then rings may be overcharged in Death's dialogue at a cost of 5 cut onyx and 25 black stone hearts.
  • Overcharged rings take 10 onyx to recharge, but only cost 3% charge per death-teleport.

• ninja 17 August 2015 (Update):
  • Hydrix jewellery will now degrade to a broken state rather than dust.
