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).
