 ===Identification===
-A fake Amulet of Yendor can easily be confused for the real thing unless identified - many players will immediately [[name]] the Amulet of Yendor "REAL" or something similar immediately upon claiming it from the high priest of Moloch. Another easy way to distinguish between the two is to place your Amulet into a [[container]], since the real Amulet will resist.

 If you are on the [[ascension run]] and otherwise prepared for your trip to the Planes, you can also use a cursed [[potion of gain level]] instead of the up stair on DL 1: if you have a fake Amulet and lack the real deal, the potion will have no effect beyond making you "feel uneasy", while doing so with the real Amulet will take you straight to the [[Plane of Earth]].
