The Amulet of zealots is a Dungeoneering reward that, when worn, increases the boost of the stat boosting prayers by 5%. It has a +2 attack bonus in all styles, but comes with a Prayer Bonus of -8, the highest Prayer penalty of any item. The amulet requires a Prayer level of 48 and a Dungeoneering level of 48 and costs 40,000 Dungeoneering Tokens.
It has no effect on multiple stat-boosting prayers, such as Chivalry, Rigour, Piety, or Augury.
Unlike most untradeable items the Amulet of Zealots does not turn in to coins upon death in the wilderness. Instead you may run back and retrieve it. Whether or not this is a bug is unknown.
Because Magic boosting prayers only boosts accuracy and a small bit of magical defence, the Amulet of Zealots may not be as useful for magic, especially if you already have a good magic level because you won't need the extra five percent.
Although it isn't that useful in magic, this item is notable for being required to achieve ranged max hit.
Due to its high Prayer Point draining rate, its highly suggested to prayer flash when using this amulet.

Trivia
- This item's original name was the Amulet of Hopelessness, as found in the Dungeoneering rewards guide and the level up message. However, on 22 November 2011 this was fixed and now correctly says amulet of zealots.
Amulet of Hopelessness previously appeared on the level up screen - The Amulet of zealots is one of the only items with a negative prayer bonus, along with the Ancient staff and Zanik's crossbow.
- Contrary to popular belief, the Amulet of Zealot does work on curse prayers. This can only be used with Leech prayers and would instantly increase the initial 5% boost of any leech prayer to 10%. However, the drain rates on enemies stay the same.
- Zealot is Greek for the words emulator, admirer and follower.
