Ring of charos

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.
