Amulet of nature

An Amulet of nature is used to monitor the state of a Farming patch. It can only be bound to one patch at a time, and will remain bound until a different patch is used. Unlike the Amulet of farming, it can be bound to any type of farming patch. If the state of the patch that the amulet is bound to changes and the amulet is worn, it will vibrate. This should allow the wearer to detect when the patch is diseased or fully grown. This feature will only show up if you're online at the time and ONE time when you log in, but you can also rub the amulet at any time to find out the current state of your patch. You can only have 1 Amulet of nature at a time and, once enchanted, it is nontradeable. You can protect 2 crops if using an Amulet of Nature AND an Amulet of Farming. Wear your Amulet of Farming and it will hum when something happens and for the other crop you can rub the Amulet of Nature to check the status of it. In addition, the Amulet of Nature is better than the Amulet of Farming because there are infinite charges on it.

An update on 19 February 2008 added new features to the amulet of nature. You may now use the Amulet of nature to contact a gardener at the attended patch from anywhere you happen to be, allowing you to hire the gardener remotely. In addition, the amulet will allow you to teleport directly to the attuned patch if the patch becomes diseased. The update also introduced a less powerful but more easily obtained variant, the amulet of farming.

It also increases your crop yield when you wear it while harvesting, though the boost is smaller than that of magic secateurs'. Additionally, the effect does not stack with the magic secateurs' boost effect. If both amulet of nature and magic secateurs are equipped, only the amulet's yield-boost will be applied.

An Amulet of nature can be created by stringing an emerald amulet with magic string to make a Pre-nature amulet. Casting Enchant Level 2 Jewellery on it will result in an Amulet of nature. After enchantment, it is not tradeable. However, Pre-nature amulets are tradeable. Many players will sell the amulet when it is in an unenchanted state. Alternatively, a player may buy the string itself, which is tradeable.

A Skill pure wishing to enchant it can use a Tablet made in a Player-owned house or use the Assist System.

After an update on 19 April 2011, it is now possible to select the amulet of nature as one of the items kept on death.

Trivia

 * If you hand My Arm an Amulet of nature during the My Arm's Big Adventure quest, it will say "This is a troll, and it is fully grown. The troll has not been treated."
 * If you use the Amulet of nature on My Arm's goutweed patch, your character will say "My Arm can tend the patch himself. I'm not growing goutweed for him."
