A ring of teleport control is a type of ring that appears in NetHack.

Generation

In addition to random generation, the ring of teleport control can be sold in general shops and jewelers' shops.

Description

While worn, the ring of teleport control conveys the teleport control extrinsic.

Eating a ring of teleport control has a 13 chance of granting intrinsic teleport control.

Strategy

The ring of teleport control is an incredibly useful source of the property, especially when combined with teleportitis or a means of level teleportation.

Identification

A ring of teleport control can be tricky to identify by wear-testing after price identification, due to the possibility of a 300zm ring non-cursed ring of polymorph - careful testing for a ring of conflict can help narrow down candidates.

One method of identifying a ring of teleport control is to wear the suspected (and ideally noncursed) ring and then attempting teleportation, usually with a teleport trap, scroll or wand - if you are wearing teleport control, you will be able to choose a destination square. A sink can also be used to identify a ring of teleport control by dropping the suspected ring down it, which will produce a unique message.

History

The ring of teleport control first appears in Hack 1.0.

Messages

The sink looks like it is being beamed aboard somewhere.
You dropped a ring of teleport control down a sink; this will prompt you to type-name the ring.

Variants

NetHack Fourk

In NetHack Fourk, two of the new final level maps for the Fourk version of Sokoban have a sack which contains a ring of teleport control alongside a ring of polymorph control and a third random ring - if you already have either of the the first two rings, other jewellery may appear.

SpliceHack

In SpliceHack, a ring of teleport control can be created at a furnace by combining a ring of teleportation and a ring of polymorph control. A ring of polymorph and a ring of teleport ccontrol can be combined to create a ring of polymorph control.
