Most [[species]] can equip one amulet and two rings, although [[octopode]]s are able to wear eight rings at a time, and some [[bad form]]s restrict your jewellery options.

You can't put on a ring if you're wearing a [[curse]]d pair of [[gloves]]/[[gauntlets]] or if you are [[berserk]]. Berserking will also prevent you from changing amulets.

One of the most important differences between jewellery and armour is that jewellery can be put on or removed extremely quickly. Swapping even light body armour in the middle of a battle will leave you unable to act for a dangerous amount of time. Swapping rings or amulets, however, takes no longer than [[quaff]]ing a [[potion]] or reading a [[scroll]]. As such, jewellery swapping is an easy way to quickly give yourself the resistances you need in the middle of a battle.

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

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).
