The amulet of avarice is an amulet that can be received as a drop from revenants found within the Revenant Caves. The amulet has the same combat bonuses as the amulet of glory, but has an additional 20% increase in accuracy and damage when fighting revenants, similar to a Salve amulet. The effects of the amulet do not stack with the Slayer helmet (i).

When worn, all drops received from NPCs within the Revenant Caves, Wilderness Slayer Cave and Chaos Temple will be in the form of bank notes, except for secondary supply rolls and uniques. However, equipping the amulet will cause the player to become skulled, similar to the cape of skulls. Attempting to equip the amulet gives a warning telling the player that this will happen. The skull cannot be removed until the amulet is unequipped, after which it behaves like a normal PK skull and disappears after twenty minutes. This behaviour is different from the cape of skulls, which will only keep the skull active for 20 minutes from the moment of equipping.

It is worth noting that while skulled (regardless of the source of the skull, except for the skull given by a high-risk PvP world), unique drops from revenants have their drop rate nearly doubled.

Wearing the amulet while looting a Zombie Pirate's Locker will note the drops other than the teleport anchoring scroll, although this also skulls the player.

If the amulet is worn while killing the Revenant maledictus as a top-damaging player, they will obtain the Forinthry Surge skull for 30 minutes, a variant that provides an additional 15% accuracy and damage boost when fighting revenants. Taking off the amulet will automatically remove this buff.

The drop rate is increased when skulled. This does not apply to the skull given by a high-risk PvP world.
