The Ultor ring is one of four ancient rings from Desert Treasure II and the best-in-slot melee strength ring, giving +12 melee strength — beating the imbued Berserker ring by +4. It has no requirement to equip beyond having one Vardorvis kill. Crafted by combining the Berserker icon, 500 blood runes and the untradeable Ultor vestige (a Vardorvis drop), then smithing the Ultor icon with three chromium ingots. It trades around 120M coins on the Grand Exchange.
Equipment bonuses
The Ultor ring is a pure strength piece: its only bonus is +12 melee strength, the highest of any ring in the game and +4 above the imbued Berserker ring.
Attack bonuses
Defence bonuses
Other bonuses
It offers no attack, defence or prayer bonuses — it is worn solely for that +12 strength in any max melee setup, and unlike the Fremennik rings it cannot be imbued.

How to get the Ultor ring
The Ultor ring is not a direct drop — it is crafted. The key ingredient is the Ultor vestige, an untradeable drop from Vardorvis, one of the four awakened bosses unlocked through Desert Treasure II.
- Combine the Berserker icon, 500 blood runes and the Ultor vestige to produce the Ultor icon. You must first learn how to fuse Fremennik ring icons with ancient vestiges from Peer the Seer.
- Take the Ultor icon to a furnace with three chromium ingots and a ring mould to craft the ring.
Creating the ring requires level 90 Magic and 80 Crafting (both boostable). To wear it you only need to have killed Vardorvis at least once — equipping it without that kill count gives the message that the power within feels unfamiliar. Because the vestige is untradeable, the finished ring you buy on the Grand Exchange was crafted and sold on by another player.
Is the Ultor ring worth it?
For any serious melee account the Ultor ring is the clear best-in-slot strength ring. Its +12 strength edges out the imbued Berserker ring's +8 by +4, which translates into a small but permanent damage gain that applies to every melee hit you ever land.
The trade-off is purely price. At roughly 120M coins it costs many times more than an imbued Berserker ring for that +4 strength, so it is an endgame upgrade — it earns its keep on long, high-DPS trips at raids and bosses where the extra damage compounds, but it is overkill for casual or early-game accounts. If you are still gearing toward Bandos or an Avernic setup, the imbued Berserker ring is the sensible budget choice. Use the boss gear finder to see where the Ultor ring slots into your loadout.
Ancient rings and the Ultor ring's place in the meta
The Ultor ring is one of four ancient rings introduced with Desert Treasure II, each built from a vestige dropped by one of the four awakened bosses and each upgrading a classic Fremennik ring. The Ultor ring is the melee strength member, mirroring the Berserker ring.
Unlike the Fremennik rings they replace, the ancient rings cannot be imbued — the +12 strength is fixed and already accounts for being the strongest ring available. In practice it has become a default fixture of max melee gear alongside staples like the Avernic treads, sitting in the ring slot of essentially every top-tier DPS loadout.
Ultor ring FAQ
What does the Ultor ring do?
It gives +12 melee strength and nothing else — no attack, defence or prayer bonuses. That +12 is the highest strength bonus of any ring in OSRS, +4 more than the imbued Berserker ring, making it the best-in-slot strength ring for melee.
How do you get the Ultor ring?
You craft it. Combine the Berserker icon, 500 blood runes and the Ultor vestige (an untradeable drop from Vardorvis) into the Ultor icon, then smith that with three chromium ingots and a ring mould at a furnace. You can also simply buy the finished ring on the Grand Exchange.
What level do you need to make the Ultor ring?
Crafting the ring requires level 90 Magic and 80 Crafting, both of which can be boosted. You must also have learnt how to fuse ancient vestiges with ring icons from Peer the Seer.
What do you need to wear the Ultor ring?
Only one Vardorvis kill. There are no skill requirements to equip it — but if you try to wear it without having killed Vardorvis, the ring slips off because the power within feels unfamiliar.
Is the Ultor ring better than the Berserker ring (i)?
Yes, for strength. The Ultor ring gives +12 strength versus the imbued Berserker ring's +8 — a +4 advantage and the best in the game. The Berserker ring (i) remains the budget pick because the Ultor ring costs far more for that extra +4.
Can the Ultor ring be imbued?
No. Unlike the Fremennik rings, the ancient rings cannot be imbued. The +12 strength is fixed and already reflects it being the strongest ring available.

It trades for roughly 120M coins on the Grand Exchange, though the live price moves daily — check the price chart above or the GE price tracker for the current value.
