Amulet of fury

(Redirected from Amulet of Fury)
The very powerful amulet of fury

An Amulet of fury, often shortened to fury, is made by casting Enchant Level 6 Jewellery on an Onyx amulet. The Amulet of fury is often considered the best amulet in the game due to its high, balanced bonuses. However, some other amulets have higher bonuses in certain stats. For example, the Third age amulet gives a larger magic attack bonus than the Amulet of fury, but the Third age amulet is far more expensive and lacks strength, defence, and prayer bonuses. The Amulet of glory has the same Attack bonuses as the Amulet of fury, is far less expensive, and, unlike the fury, has the ability to teleport to several locations, but the Amulet of glory has lower defence, strength, and prayer bonuses than the fury. The Amulet of strength is extremely inexpensive and gives a +10 Strength bonus compared to the Amulet of fury's +8, although the Amulet of strength gives no other bonuses.

Amulets of fury decreased greatly in price in May 2009 because of furies being generated as drops in PvP Worlds and Bounty Worlds.

When amulets of fury were released, they were worth over 5 million coins. It took 300,000 Tokkul to purchase an Uncut onyx from the Crafting store in TzHaar. At this time, the cheapest way to acquire Tokkul was to sell chaos or death runes to the Tzharr rune shop (perhaps buying the runes from other players first). It took 16666 Death or 33333 Chaos runes to get the required amount of Tokkul. At this time, chaos runes were worth approximately 150 coins each and death runes were worth approximately 300 coins each, so this produced a fury price of slightly over 5 million coins.

The fury's price gradually declined as chaos runes fell in price. In addition, the Karamja Diary update gave players the advantage of more favourable buy and sell prices at Karamja stores when wearing Karamja gloves. Onyx gems could then be obtained for only 260,000 tokkul. This caused an immediate drop in the fury price to reflect the new cost of an onyx gem. The price continued to decrease as the price of runes fell and reached under 3 million coins; the price was stable for long periods of time, however.

The price of the fury also came to be based on not the price of chaos, but rather obsidian shields, obsidian mauls, obsidian capes, and fire runes.

In the fall of 2008, PvP worlds were released with Amulets of fury as possible game-generated drops from other players. At first this extra supply did not affect the price very much. However, after Bounty Worlds were released, the price of furies crashed due to high supply and panic. The price reached an all-time low of around 1.52 million in May 2009 and stabalized at about 1.9 million. Shortly afterwards, Jagex removed Amulets of fury from PvP world drop tables, and the price eventually recovered to about 3 million with the help of large amounts of coins coming into the game from the new PvP drops.

The Personalised shops update on 2 September 2009 resulted in changes to the Tokkul currency. Selling fire runes was (and still is) the cheapest way to get tokkul; a fire rune worth 9 coins used to sell 1 tokkul. After the update, the price floor on fire runes was removed, allowing them to decrease in price to 5-8 coins each; in addition, the price the Tzharr rune shop would pay for fire runes was raised. These changes would have resulted in a massive devaluation of tokkul and a crash in the fury's price. To try to compensate for the devaluing of the tokkul currency, Jagex raised the price of an Onyx in the TzHarr shops more than tenfold to 2,700,000 Tokkul. However, many players find that the onyx is more difficult to obtain than before. Selling obsidian weapons or armour is no longer cost-effective in obtaining tokkul, leaving fire runes as the primary method to obtain an onyx. It takes about 3 hours to sell the 540,000 fire runes needed to obtain an onyx gem, and these runes will cost 3,780,000 coins at 7 coins per fire rune. In October 2009, the price of the fury reached well over 5 million coins.

[edit] Trivia

  • With the Fur 'n' Seek update on 10 August 2009, Jagex changed the inventory sprite for Amulets of fury, citing that it did not match the Amulet's appearance when its worn.
