The Explorer's ring is a reward from the Lumbridge and Draynor Diary. There are three forms of ring: Bronze (the first ring), Silver (second ring) and Gold (final and best ring). Each ring offers a slight bonus to Magic attack and Prayer, as well as the extra bonuses described below. The silver and the gold rings are both upgrades of the previous version(s) of the ring, not new and separate items. The Explorer's ring 1 can be upgraded to the Explorer's ring 2.

When all of the beginner tasks are completed, players can talk to Explorer Jack to obtain the Explorer's ring and an antique lamp, which grants 500 experience in a selected skill upon activation. This ring provides one charge to restore 50% of the player's Run energy, and recharges every 24 hours at 0000 (UTC).

A player getting replenished in running energy by the Explorer's Ring.

Benefits

• The ring can be used in the Fist of Guthix minigame to recharge the wearer's run energy. This is helpful when he/she needs to run or attack his/her opponent, depending on his/her current role (hunter or hunted) in-game.

• The ring is the only ring with a Prayer bonus, and the only free-to-play ring with any bonuses. This makes it a staple for all free players who have earned it and would like the prayer boost.

• The Ring is extremely useful in many quests; for example, its run energy-restoring ability can be put to excellent effectiveness in The Fremennik Trials.

• The Ring is useful for survival in the Wilderness for all free players, and also for most Wilderness activities, such as Revenant hunting.
• When worn, the number of elemental runes crafted on a single runecrafting run is increased. The bonus appears to be random and for an inventory of 27 Rune essence appears to be in the range of 2-5.

Trivia

• When the recharge timer is up and the Explorer's Ring 1 is fully recharged, you used to be forcefully logged out with no prior notification. This was changed in one of Jagex's hidden updates.

• If a player dies while wielding the ring (if he/she has more than three items upon his/her person), he/she will not be able to get it back from his or her gravestone. However, regardless of how many times it is lost or removed, it can be easily replaced, free of charge. You simply have to speak with Explorer Jack to get it back.

• For some reason, the ring cannot be taken to Entrana. The monks of Entrana say something about its magic disrupting the flow of that on the island. This could be connected to the fact that the ring has a Magic bonus of +1.

• On the 19 August 2008, an unannounced change was made to the name of all of the explorer's rings: the parentheses were removed.

• If a player attempts to restore his/her run energy when it is already at 100%, it will give a message saying "You are fully rested. You do not need to use the ring's power for the moment." But run energy will be wasted if the player tries to restore run energy at 51-99% run energy level.

• When using the ring to restore run energy while wielding an Abyssal Whip, the weapon stays completely straight.

• Destroying the ring and asking Explorer Jack for it back will not affect the number of charges in the ring at all, either positively or negatively.

• There was a glitch when the ring recharges every day at 00:00 GMT. If a player is logged in at that time, the ring will not be recharged until the next log in, which is now patched.

• Previously, while wearing the ring, the only right-click option available would be to "Operate" it, opening a screen with two or more options. However, after the 07-Oct-2009 - High-level Herblore Potions Update, like certain other items, F2P or P2P, such as the Amulet of Glory, right-clicking it when worn will display the options without having to operate it and then select the desired options.

• Some untradeable Items show their price when they are shown in the Items Kept on Death menu. The Explorer's ring is one of these unique items, and is shown to be worth 350 coins on the menu.

• If you lose the ring and try to get it back, weirdly the charges will have been unaffected.

• As Explorer Jack says when giving you the first version of the ring, "This is more than any old ring. Aside from looking good, it also has magical properties giving you a small but useful boost to your Magic and Prayer."
• As with the Explorer's ring 2 and 3, this is the only Achievement Diary reward that doesn't begin with the name of the area the diary takes place in. If it did, it would be called either the Lumbridge ring, Draynor ring, or a combination of both.
