These stats make Witch boots particularly useful for mages, as they provide a slight boost to Magic effectiveness while also offering some defensive capability.
Wearing Witch Boots
Witch boots can be equipped in the footwear slot and can be worn by players with a minimum Defence level of 40. They are untradeable, meaning they cannot be sold or traded with other players. Players often wear them when engaging in activities such as:
