you'll never run into it again, but if your rogue is like most other
rogues (and i think it is if it's the one with the added character
classes of ninja and stuff), you'll still retain the ability to go up
stairs as if you had the Amulet.

****** SPOILER FOR UROGUE ************

in urogue, this is different.  once you sell an artifact, it is gone
forever, and you can't buy it back either like you can in most advanced
rogue versions (no matter how much money you have).  you get lots of
cash, but you can't go upwards any more if it was the only artifact you
were carrying at the time.  in addition, your luck is adversely
affected.  quartermasters are more likely to charge higher for items
and they are more likely to carry cursed items.  same with trading
posts.
