The Ring of Death is a powerful piece of jewelry in RuneScape that offers unique benefits when worn in combat. However, there are some important considerations when it comes to repairing and selling this item. Let’s explore the details:
Repairing the Ring of Death
The Ring of Death degrades over time, with a maximum of 100,000 hits in combat before it becomes broken. To repair the ring, you can use a cut onyx on it, which will restore 50% of its charges. This means that a full recharge effectively costs 2,063,254 coins.
Additionally, the ring can be overcharged by Death for 5 cut onyx and 25 black stone hearts (worth 22,195,685 coins in total), after unlocking the ability to overcharge the ring for 150 Reaper points. This overcharge increases the maximum equipment charges to 500,000, making each death drain only 3% charge and onyxes repair 10% charge each.
Selling the Ring of Death
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.
However, the overcharged version of the ring, known as the Ring of Death (o), is not tradeable at all. It can only be obtained by overcharging the regular Ring of Death at Death’s store.
In summary, while you can repair the Ring of Death using cut onyxes, the ring itself becomes permanently untradeable once worn. The overcharged version, Ring of Death (o), is not tradeable at all. It’s important to keep these factors in mind when considering the use and management of this item in your RuneScape gameplay.
