A ring of forging is made by enchanting a ruby ring, using the spell Enchant Level 3 Jewellery. When equipped, rings of forging increase the success rate of smelting iron ore from 50% to 100%. The bonus only applies when smelting iron ore in a furnace; it will not trigger when using Superheat Item. After smelting 140 such ores, a ring will disintegrate.
The rings themselves do not carry charges; rather, the charges are kept with whoever equips the ring. Any player with multiple rings of forging can smelt 140 iron ore, regardless of which ring they wear, and whichever ring is worn on the 140th ore will disintegrate. This mechanic is partly in place to prevent scamming; otherwise, one could pass off a ring with very few charges left as a "full" ring.
Operating the ring from the Worn Equipment menu will show the number of ores that can be smelted before a ring disintegrates.
Note that it is possible to smelt more than 140 iron ores with this ring if the ring is equipped along with any of the Varrock armours while using the Edgeville furnace. The amount of extra ores is dependent upon the number of "double smelts" that occur due to the Varrock armour effect at that furnace, but each instance of smelting only counts as one ore to the ring.
If you are planning to melt a larger amount of iron ores. It will be profitable to melt them using a ring of forging. Since an iron bar is currently worth 242 coins, and there is 50% to successfully melt the ore into a bar, you will earn 121 (242/2) extra for each ore. The ring of forging lasts for 140 ores, which make the profit for 140 ores 32740 (242*140-1140) instead of 16940 (140*242/2). Not to mention the extra XP you will get.
