About Ring of forging
"An enchanted ring."
No combat bonuses. The ring's value is entirely in its skilling effect.
Requirements: None to wear | Weight: 0.006 kg
Guarantees 100% success rate when smelting iron ore into iron bars. Without the ring, iron ore normally has only a 50% success rate (each ore has a 50% chance of failing).
Charges: 140 uses before the ring crumbles to dust. Each iron ore smelted consumes one charge.
Important: Charges are tracked per player, not per ring — swapping to a new ring does not reset the counter.
| Method | Iron Bars per Ring | Cost per Ring | |--------|-------------------|---------------| | Without ring | ~70 bars (50% rate) | Free | | With ring | 140 bars (100%) | ~800 GP |
The ring effectively doubles your iron bar output, saving ~70 iron ores worth of value per ring.
At the Blast Furnace, iron ore already smelts at 100% — making the ring of forging unnecessary there. The ring is primarily useful at regular furnaces.
Essential for Ironman accounts producing iron bars at regular furnaces, where the 50% failure rate would waste hard-earned ores. Most ironmen transition to Blast Furnace eventually, but the ring is valuable during early-mid game.
