Rings of teleportation are the only renewable source of teleport in the game: thus, it is often worth keeping one around. However, keep in mind that it takes high evocations to be able to teleport reliably. It's best for escaping when you can see a bad situation coming and have time to swap rings and accept a failure or two, rather than when you're already in a bad situation and every aut counts.

Characters stuck with a cursed ring of teleportation on their finger may wish to wear an [[amulet of stasis]] just to avoid getting themselves randomly launched into a terribly dangerous situation. Just remember to take the amulet off quickly if you find yourself in need of a [[scroll of blinking]] to get yourself to safety.

Rings of teleportation are one of the most useful items to bring to [[The Abyss]], since teleporting away from fights is a great escape method (it will always take you to another region of the Abyss). Also, if you keep evoking it, you can cover a lot of ground and find an exit very quickly.
