A meat ring is a type of comestible that very rarely appears in NetHack.

Generation

Meat rings are are only created by zapping a spell of stone to flesh at a ring with a mineral or gemstone randomized appearance.

Description

Meat rings give 5 nutrition when eaten and can be worn like normal rings, but have no effect. They function similarly to tripe rations, in that carnivorous pets consider them a treat.

Strategy

Like meat sticks, most meat rings are accidental creations from an accidental stone to flesh zap at yourself, or a deliberate one used to cure stoning. A meat ring provides very little nutrition, and are best used as lightweight treats to feed any meat-eating pets or else tame carnivorous domestic animals - they can also be used as polyfodder to try and turn into lightweight food such as lembas wafers.

If you cannot uncurse a cursed mineral or gemstone ring any other way, a viable method is to drop all other mineral and gemstone items and then cast stone to flesh on yourself - the cursed ring can then be eaten off your finger, with the only remaining concern being adverse effects of rotten food.

List of mineral and gemstone rings

Rings with the following randomized appearances can be turned into meat rings:

  • agate
  • black onyx
  • clay
  • coral
  • diamond
  • emerald
  • granite
  • jade
  • moonstone
  • opal
  • ruby
  • sapphire
  • tiger eye
  • topaz

History

The meat ring is introduced alongside the spellbook of stone to flesh in NetHack 3.3.0.
