I thought it's use was in wilderness, where you cannot be hit whilst wearing it? Just wait until the pkers disappear? I don't own one so i don't really know. --Eucarya 08:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
It's the same as the Easter Ring. It gives you no advantages...when attacked you unmorph. The Wilderness thing was one of the infinite rumours circulating at the time regarding it, 'cos it was a nifty piece of kit back then. Anyone remember only being able to defeat TzTok-Jad while wearing one? Vimescarrot 09:57, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
That's a myth. I defeated TzTok-Jad without the Ring of Stone. Shadowdancer 14:24, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
That's exactly my point... Vimescarrot 14:42, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Its usefull is castle wars when you are flag holding... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rsplayer5 (talk) on 20:45, September 19, 2006 UTC.
That model was definitely NOT in RS1. RS1 used 2D sprites, not 3D models. Although the rocks in RS1 did look a lot like that, and that's what they looked like in the beginning of RS2, that model was not used in RS1. 64.2.133.76 23:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
they sell for about 4 or 5m I think so they are worth something —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.224.121.141 (talk) on 16:42, October 25, 2006 UTC.
Their worth is relative to the Onyx stone, not because of its use. --Moobies1 03:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
The sentence starting with that seems to be slightly incorrect. When looking at the GE sales of it, it is down nearly 40% since a month ago. Dsctatom 07:37, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
can someone give a source for "Also, Jagex implies that the Ring of stone may have other future uses"?

Runescape website quote "What does the ring of stone do?
The ring of stone grants you the ability to turn yourself into a rock, any attempts to do anything other than type via the chat box will cause the user to return to normal.
It may also have other magical abilities which are unknown at this time." http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2161
So that's how you can turn into a pile of stone. I wondered how people did that. I also see people who appear to be skulls, is there some item like this that does that?
Sliding glitch surely haven't been worked out, yet it's quite simple. As example certain 'tools' used to perform it, as example then, commorb(v2 tho), scanning a scan after another, spamming the option, whilst charater actually attempting to go to clicked location , this some what 'holds' the charater, even that it really is moving, while not the charater, but then again it is, complicated issue indeed, but yeahhyy, while this spamming, you'd simply turn into stone after stopped it, charater turns into stone, slides to spot where account was going, or actually, is.. This surely occurs with easter ring & bone brooch, too - obviously.
Also do add when that glorious day comes by, that some1 actually dwells in here, do notice to update about rock's matching with those of karamja, etc stones, since they be updated, all of them, none to remain matchable with the rock from the ring, aye?
Warning: Fake Edits about Ring of Stone by Smokin Mils Clan Edit
Warning: Keep an eye out for fake edits on the Ring of Stone by a popular manipulation clan called "Smokin Mils". Recently there has been a lot of photoshopped images (FAKE Youtube Videos too)of jagex claiming the stone is going to be updated but then the statement being quickly edited out 5 minutes after it was posted in the BTS. These are all fake. The Smokin Mils website also has several threads from higher ups telling their members to spam the RSOF with threads claiming the stone is going to be updated and spread as much as rumors as possible. Recently, a particular spam thread got the attention of a Jmod on the RSOF which was locked as price manipulation further proving that the this is indeed FAKE. QFC: 16-17-519-62841394
Please be wary of buying the stone for purposes of making quick cash, you'll probably lose it as the ring is not going to be updated.
P.S. the only way the ring would be updated is if Jagex were to update how the stones look when you transform in them because of the update to various mining rocks a month or so ago. Remember we already have the Onyx Ring (i) which effectly makes making onyx rings semi worthwhile again. A lot of items are useless/cosmetic in RuneScape, the Ring of Stone is no different.
That has got to be one of the cheapest scams I have seen! Thank God a J-Mod has now locked that thread. Wildbeast300 23:14, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
I was wondering: what's up with the price, it's basically a useless item - so people use it for 'status' or money show-off? that's why it's so expensive? Leon Art 14:21, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
Effectively, it's tied in with the fact that onyx rings are used to make onyx ring(i) and the price on onyx, thus making this item hard to come by...or something. Teh alch 05:41, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I know, but if it's useless, it's useless... and then I don't understand why the price is so high. . Yours, . AddictEnkidu Talk . 07:15, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
