As as healer in 3.4.3 [NAO], I rubbed a "uncursed gray stone" on a named black gem (of which was identified by throwing at a unicorn) and the gray stone identified itself as a touchstone and the gem was identified as obsidian. How is this possible? --[[User:User|User]] ([[User talk:User|talk]]) 04:49, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Something I just noticed, with the touchstone, the different rings seems to be leaving different colors. This could definitely help in ring id! Nowhere on the internet do I see this mentioned, am I missing something? I'm playing vulture's eye. 71.243.123.146 18:47, October 5, 2010 (UTC)BlackSheep

It doesn't help, because the different rings leave different colors based on their randomized appearance. That is, a diamond ring will leave the same color streaks be it a ring of polymorph or a ring of teleportation. I suppose a zen player might find it useful to identify iron rings, but other than that it doesn't give you any information you don't already have. -Ion frigate 20:02, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
