Ring of recoil

A ring of recoil is created by using Lvl-1 Enchant on a sapphire ring. When worn, 10% + 1 of the damage received by the player (rounded down) is dealt to the attacker, and always recoils at least 1 damage when the player is hit. This effect applies to both players and NPCs. The ring of recoil is capable of dealing up to 40 hitpoints of damage before shattering.

To check the remaining damage the ring can deal, the player must operate it, while equipped, in the Worn Equipment interface. The amount of damage left is recorded for each player, not each ring; thus, a newly equipped ring will have the same number of charges remaining as any other ring the player wears. If the player wishes to obtain a ring with 40 charges remaining, the player must use any ring of recoil completely until it shatters. More simply, however, the player can right-click and break a ring of recoil while in the inventory.

Rings of recoil can be used to charge a ring of suffering to provide the same recoil effect, disregarding the need to carry multiple rings of recoil or switch them in combat, in addition to providing substantial defensive bonuses.

Some players, especially skillers, use the ring during combat in quests and other situations. In fact, the ring of recoil will usually result in more damage than the much more expensive berserker ring, especially at lower strength and defence levels. The ring of recoil is especially useful against opponents with high attack speeds and low damage.

When under attack from multiple opponents, the ring used to recoil any damage received to a random attacker. As a result, it was possible for one attacker to receive multiple hits of recoil damage at the same time. However, as of 2 July 2015, recoil damage will now always target the NPC that caused the initial damage, rather than the most recent NPC who dealt damage.

Players who wear a ring of recoil with full Dharok's equipment, an amulet of the damned, and vengeance activated may rebound 100% of damage taken from a hit onto their opponent. Such a case may prove itself extremely effective in PvP situations.
