An '''amulet of regeneration''' increases its wearer's [[regeneration rate]] by 40, greatly hastening the HP recovery rate of your character. This benefit becomes less pronounced as your max HP rises, but its effect is always substantial. When natural healing is unavailable, the amulet's effects are less impressive; [[deep dwarves]] and bloodless [[vampire]]s gain no HP regeneration whatsoever from wearing it, but it does help you recover from [[sickness]] significantly faster.

However, this healing comes at a cost. Every turn that the amulet provides any HP- or sickness-recovery effect, your metabolism is increased by 3 (twice that of the average character). This metabolism increase does not apply when you are at full health and not sick, so there's no need to fear it causing hunger when you don't need any healing.

Increased regeneration does not begin until your HP reaches maximum, so there's no point in swapping one on after a battle to recover faster.
 
 
Characters that have no hunger clock (e.g. [[mummies]] and players in [[lichform]]) can wear this without fear, enjoying the benefits at no cost.

Name Amulet of regeneration
Icon Amulet of regeneration.png
An amulet that increases the wearer's natural regeneration rate. In order to function, it must first attune itself to the wearer's body at full health.

An amulet of regeneration increases its wearer's regeneration rate by 40, greatly hastening the HP recovery rate of your character. This benefit becomes less pronounced as your max HP rises, but its effect is always substantial. When natural healing is unavailable, the amulet's effects are less impressive; deep dwarves and bloodless vampires gain no HP regeneration whatsoever from wearing it, but it does help you recover from sickness significantly faster.

Increased regeneration does not begin until your HP reaches maximum, so there's no point in swapping one on after a battle to recover faster.

Desirability

Sources of regeneration are generally very welcome. Reducing the time spent recovering between battles makes it less likely for new enemies to spawn on your current floor or find you while wandering, and is very welcome for players looking to maximize their score. Don't be afraid to swap it out for a needed resistance, however.

History

Prior to 0.18, the amulet of regeneration began working immediately and also increased the wearer's metabolism.

The amulet of regeneration was added in 0.16, replacing the ring of regeneration.
