The ring of charos is a magical ring that is used to charm certain NPCs when worn, allowing different dialogue options and specific benefits.

Charos, the creator of the ring, used it in order to enhance his prowess as a diplomat and convince the weak-minded in order to do his bidding. It is said by the Wise Old Man that anyone who uses the ring must already possess some kind of diplomatic skill in order for it to work.

It is first obtained by the player after the Creature of Fenkenstrain quest. The ring is activated into a ring of charos(a) during the Garden of Tranquillity quest, giving enhanced abilities.

If lost, it can be recovered by pickpocketing Dr. Fenkenstrain on the top floor of Fenkenstrain's Castle, or in the basement of the Harmony Island windmill after starting The Great Brain Robbery. If it was activated before you lost it, it will still be activated upon retrieval.

Uses

Transportation

The ring of charos has the following uses for Transportation:

• Free boat trips between the Karamja, Ardougne, and Port Sarim ports.
• Free trips to the Piscatoris Fishing Colony (unnecessary after completion of Swan Song as travel becomes permanently free).
• Reduced cost for magic carpets to 100 gp, or 75 gp once a task is completed for Ali Morrisane.
• Reduced charter ship costs (the prices are a half of the original price, or a quarter if Cabin Fever is completed).
• Free boat rides from Mort'ton to the middle of Mort Myre.

Quests

It can also be used for the following during quests:

• Used in The Great Brain Robbery (the unactivated version also works).
• Get the recipe for Asgoldian ale for free during Recipe for Disaster and the ability to do the quest again (dwarf subquest).
• Can be used instead of a fish to bribe one of the penguins during Cold War.

• Charm farmers to get various unique seeds for Garden of Tranquillity.
• Prior to an update, it could be used to reveal the identity of the Veos' Client during Client of Kourend.
