-While worn, the ring of searching confers the [[automatic searching]] [[extrinsic]].

 ==Strategy==
-The ring can be useful as an aid in [[searching]] for hidden [[trap]]s and [[secret door]]s, especially since the property is very rarely obtainable as an intrinsic - characters that can obtain the intrinsic by gaining [[experience level]]s will have no need for the ring after that point, while characters that plan to use [[Excalibur]] as their primary weapon can also safely disregard the ring.
