The Ring of Sauron or the One Ring is an artifact ring of invisibility. It is chaotic for wishing purposes. If not formally identified, it appears as "an engraved [random appearance] ring" or "an engraved ring of invisibility." Formally identifying the artifact automatically identifies rings of invisibility as well.

When carried in your inventory, the One Ring confers magic resistance and special hunger effects: if your nutrition is 150 or higher, it doubles the rate at which you burn nutrition.

When worn, in addition to the base effect (making you invisible), the One Ring also allows you to see other invisible creatures and to find hidden features. Further, it "attracts" Nazgul: if Nazgul are not extinct, then any time the game tries to randomly generate a Wraith while you are wearing the One Ring there is a 10% chance of creating a Nazgul instead.

Finally, the ring is treacherous. Every turn, there is a chance that it will spontaneously remove itself from your finger, drop from your inventory onto the floor, or even teleport itself to a random location on the level. The chances of this happening depend on its beatitude and whether you are wearing it:

BUC status Worn Carried

  • Remove 1/256
  • Drop 1/256
  • Teleport 0
  • Drop 1/256
  • Teleport 1/256
  • Uncursed
  • Remove 1/99
  • Drop 1/121
  • Teleport 1/121
  • Drop 1/256
  • Teleport 1/256
  • Cursed
  • Remove 1/66
  • Drop 1/99
  • Teleport 1/99
  • Drop 1/66
  • Teleport 1/66
  • Generation

    A hobbit will have a 5% chance upon generation of carrying the One Ring, but only after you have chatted to a peaceful or tame hobbit and received the message "The hobbit asks you about the One Ring." In Gehennom this is increased to a 10% chance.
