The Venator ring is one of four ancient rings and the best-in-slot ranged ring in Old School RuneScape, giving +10 Ranged attack and +2 Ranged Strength — the only ring in the game to offer a ranged strength bonus. To wear it you must have killed the Leviathan at least once during Desert Treasure II. It's crafted from a Leviathan-only vestige rather than bought, and the tradeable ring sits around 40-50M on the Grand Exchange.
Equipment bonuses
The Venator ring's defining numbers are its +10 Ranged attack and +2 Ranged Strength bonus. That ranged attack edges out the imbued archers ring by +2, and the ranged strength is unique — no other ring grants it.

Other bonuses
There is no level requirement to equip the ring beyond having killed the Leviathan once, so any account with a Desert Treasure II kill can slot it straight into a ranged setup.

How to get the Venator ring
The Venator ring is created, not dropped directly. You first need the venator vestige, an untradeable drop from the Leviathan at a rate of 1/768 per kill.
- Combine the archer icon with the venator vestige to make a venator icon (you must first learn how from Peer the Seer).
- Take the venator icon to a furnace with three chromium ingots and a ring mould to craft the ring.
Crafting needs level 90 Magic and 80 Crafting — both are boostable. If you'd rather skip the grind, the finished ring is tradeable, so you can buy it outright on the Grand Exchange.
Is the Venator ring worth it?
For ranged accounts, yes — it's the best ranged ring in the game. It's the only ring offering a Ranged Strength bonus (+2), and its +10 Ranged attack beats the imbued archers ring by +2. On high-accuracy, multi-target, or long ranged grinds that small strength bonus adds up.
That said, the gain over an imbued archers ring is modest, so it's an end-game polish rather than a must-buy upgrade. Mains chasing every point of DPS will want it; mid-game ranged accounts can comfortably run an imbued archers ring until then. Check your loadout against the boss gear finder to see whether the ring meaningfully moves your kill times.
Note the ancient rings, unlike the older Fremennik rings, cannot be imbued — what you see on the stats is what you get.
