Trivia

 * This item's original name was the Amulet of Hopelessness, as found in the Dungeoneering rewards guide and the level up message.
 * As of January-21st, the in the level 48 Dungeoneering level up message, the amulet is still known as an "Amulet of hopelessness".
 * The amulet is almost worthless as for almost all purposes. For melee, generally, power or strength amulet works better. Also it might be a better choice to buy a holy symbol or maybe the twisted bird skull necklace. For mage, arcane blast simply overpowers the effect. In any case, the amulet cuts the time by a tremendous amount.
 * Monk's robe top and bottom is a good way for a free player to equalize out the negative prayer bonus of this amulet. The robes give +11 prayer bonus total.
 * The negative prayer bonus seems to be a balancing of the power of prayers according to tier, i.e. Thick Skin with the Amulet (+10% defense) drains as fast as Rock Skin (+10% defense). However, this does not take into account the prayer bonus you miss out on by wearing the Amulet of Zealots instead of another amulet, thereby making it a less effective choice currently.
 * The name of this item is based off of the word zealot, meaning one who is enthusiastic towards one's god.
