Notes

.

The amulet is located in the tree at the end of the Forest of Despair maze

To obtain the amulet, you'll need a class with pick lock, falcon sight and detrap
Therefore, a Ranger or Thief is best suited

Following the map, to get through the maze quickly, from room 2 go west, north, wait for trans, scan all
It should be 2 north, however due to the trans in the maze randomly you may have to repeat this step several times
So be sure to mark room 2 with something

Once you get to the tree, use falcon sight and detrap on it, before searching it for the amulet.
After the tree is detrap, exam tree.
An aging, hollowed out tree appears to be nearly empty. (spawn)
An aging, hollowed out tree appears to be empty. (no spawn)

How to get the ancient amulet of dispersal 

1) First get to the entrance of the Forest of Despair maze on a thief (see phyru's map). 

2) Now go n into the maze and then w and north into the no exit room. 

3) Wait for the silent trans (keep looking). 

3) When you are transed scan north, you should see the tree now go all north quick (sometimes you are transed back though and you end up in the no exit room 
again, if that happens go back to step 3. 

4) Eventually you should make it to the tree, get falcon sight, have full hp AND HAVE SANC** on and detrap tree. Sometimes you'll be hit by an explosion 
(depending on how much you've pracced it), this will cause about 1000 hitpoints of damage through sanc (which is why you wanted sanc and full hp). 

5) Once you have successfully detrapped the tree exam it. 

IF: An aging, hollowed out tree appears to be empty. 
An aging, hollowed out tree contains: 
Nothing. 

Otherwise, if: 
An aging, hollowed out tree appears to be nearly empty. 
An aging, hollowed out tree contains: 
Nothing. 

Then search tree until: 

Your search reveals the ancient amulet of dispersal! 

And voila! You no longer need dispel magic pots. 

The amulet is not an area pop, but we seem to be able to detrap it on average about 1 in 3 at the moment. 

It seems that thieves get into the room much easier than clerics. I suspect this might be because the higher dex on thieves make it so that they can more easily 
'dodge' the progs of the forest which fling you back to the trans room/close to the trans room. 

So for clerics, it'll take a bit longer, just keep trying though because they can make it.
