Amulet of glory

The Amulet of glory (or dragonstone amulet in RuneScape Classic) is a dragonstone amulet enchanted by the Magic spell Enchant Level 5 Jewellery. It is a very popular amulet in members-only worlds amongst players of all levels, as it provides good Attack bonus, has no requirements to wear, is MUCH less expensive than the Amulet of fury, and the teleports it offers are very useful. A trimmed version, called Amulet of glory(t), may be obtained from Level 3 Treasure Trails, but is no better than a normal Amulet of glory.

Transportation
The Amulet of glory is useful when travelling in the Wilderness, as this amulet will work up to Level 30 Wilderness, while most other means of teleportation will not work above Level 20 Wilderness. Players can access the teleports by either rubbing it in their inventory and selecting their destination from the option box which appears, or they can right click it when equipped and select one of their destinations. This amulet has a maximum of four charges, and teleports are available to the following 4 locations:


 * Edgeville
 * Karamja
 * Draynor Village
 * Al Kharid

All 4 teleport locations allow access to other transportation grids. From Edgeville, players may use the Canoe system to travel up and down River Lum, the Fairy ring system accessible to the east of Edgeville and using the underwall tunnel to the Grand Exchange (level 21 Agility required), access to the Spirit Tree network and the dwarven carts. Karamja teleport puts the player close to the Charter ships system. Draynor Village is close to Port Sarim for transportation for boats, or the Fairy Ring to the south. Note that, to get even closer to transportation for boats, without wasting an amulet's charge, players may also use the teleport to cabbage patch option found in an Explorer's ring 3, a reward from the medium Lumbridge and Draynor Tasks. Al Kharid teleport is close to the Shantay Pass, allowing access to the Kharidian Desert, as well as the Gnome glider to the north. Also note that all teleports are close to a bank (Edgeville, Draynor Village, Al Kharid, and Karamja). Although the bank in Karamja is located in TzHaar City.

On the 7 October 2009 update, the Amulet of glory was updated to allow a person to teleport more effectively when the amulet is equipped. Originally, the Amulet had 3 options when equipped (Remove, Operate and Examine) but now has 6 options (Remove, Examine and 1 for each of the teleport spots). This significantly cuts down on teleport operation time.

Recharging


After all four charges are used, it can be recharged by using it on the Fountain of Heroes below the Heroes' Guild. By doing so once, all carried Amulets of glory, including worn ones and ones with charges remaining, will be fully recharged to 4 charges. Access to the Heroes' Guild, however, requires the completion of Heroes' Quest. This amulet may not be charged in noted form. To recharge the amulets quickly, it is recommended that a Games necklace is used to teleport to Burthorpe Games Room, which is close to the Heroes' Guild. Another more efficient, yet slightly longer, method would be to use the last remaining charge to teleport to Edgeville. From there one can use the Agility shortcut (21 agility required) to the Grand Exchange and the use the Keldagrim Mine Carts to travel to White Wolf Mountain Caves which is very close to the Heroes' Guild. One of the fastest methods of recharging the amulet of glory is to use a Combat bracelet to teleport to the Warrior's Guild then run south to the Heroes' Guild.

At level 89 Summoning, a Geyser titan can be used to recharge Amulets of glory by using them on the familiar. This negates the need to travel to the Heroes' Guild fountain.

On the Grand Exchange, Amulets of Glory are noted as either "Amulet of Glory" for an uncharged amulet or "Amulet of Glory(4)" for a charged amulet. Be sure to note this distinction when purchasing.

Other uses
If the Amulet of glory has any charges, wearing it while Mining will increase the chances of finding gems. Wearing it when mining the Shilo Village gem rocks will also increase the speed at which gems are mined.

At level 47 Construction, the Amulet of glory can be mounted in a Player-owned house, within the Quest Hall. This will require an uncharged Amulet of glory, and 3 Teak planks. While mounted, this amulet can be used to provide unlimited teleports. It is possible to use boosts for this, such as the Crystal saw. Mounting the Amulet of glory in a Player-owned house does not require the completion of Heroes' Quest.

Amulets of glory are beneficial while fishing on Karamja. A player can teleport back and forth from the Karamja fishing spot and the Edgeville bank with minimal walking. However, most would prefer to fish at Catherby as it is closer to a bank and does not require the use of an amulet.

Amulets of glory are also useful for Runecrafting through the Abyss, granting a fast way to return to Edgeville. In addition to that, the amulets can be used for runecrafting Law runes by taking the boat to Entrana, then teleporting to Draynor Village to bank the runes.

Amulets of Glory are useful for farming. With the allotment patch west of the Ectofuntus, one can teleport to the patch with the Ectophial and teleport to a bank with the Amulet of Glory. With the allotment patch north-west of Draynor, one can teleport to the patch with the Explorer's Ring 3 and teleport to the Edgeville bank with the Amulet of Glory.

Trivia

 * Interestingly, the 'increased-gem' ability of the Amulet of Glory seems to affect mining not only in a members' world, but in free-to-play worlds as well, even when you're not a member at the moment.
 * Sometimes, when attempting to buy Amulets of Glory from the Grand Exchange, the icon shown in the window is that of a Gold Amulet rather than an Amulet of Glory, this glitch has not yet been fixed. This icon is also displayed in the bank's collection box while trying to sell an Amulet of Glory on the Grand Exchange.
 * Although no gold leaf is required when mounting an Amulet of Glory in a Player-owned house, there is a gold trim around the frame.
 * It is interesting that the amulet is allowed on Entrana considering the offensive and defensive stats.
 * The amulet of glory used to have a circular shape until an update that gave it two little purple spikes. At first, many players thought this was a glitch, but it has been determined that it was meant to be that way.
