One important quality of jewellery is that rings can be changed very quickly. It only requires 1 turn to remove a ring and equip another (specifically, 0.5 turns for each individual action). However, take note that amulets take as long to remove and equip as armor. They both require 10 turns (or 5 turns for each individual action), making them far less versatile.

Jewellery is a category of equipment, consisting of rings and amulets.

Useful Info

Jewellery is always magical and typically helpful to your character.

Most species can equip one amulet and two rings at a time.

  • Octopodes are able to wear eight rings at a time.
  • Wearing the macabre finger necklace will let you equip one additional ring.
  • Worshippers of Ru who have sacrificed a hand have one less ring slot than normal.

Jewellery is equipped with the P key and removed with the R key. Rings take 0.5 turns to take off or put on (or 1 turn to swap between two rings). Amulets take 5 turns to take off or put on (10 turns to swap between 2 amulets). You cannot change your jewellery while berserk.

Strategy

Rings can be changed very quickly; it's wise to keep extra rings for situational encounters, such as having a ring of resist corrosion for a monster with acidic attacks. This isn't true for amulets, however.

The amulet of faith is the only piece of jewellery that punishes you for unequipping it; removing Faith will cut piety by 33%.

History

  • Prior to 0.27, you could find amulets of inaccuracy, rings of teleportation, and rings of attention, which were always cursed.
  • Prior to 0.27, ring enchantments could be negative or positive, so you could find a -4 ring of slaying or a -6 ring of strength.
  • Prior to 0.26, amulets could be removed as quickly as rings, but often needed to be attuned to their user first (or had some other cost).
  • Prior to 0.25, ring enchantments were random values between 1 and 6 (positive and negative).
