In addition to the usual [[Rune Preservation|Rune Preservation bonuses]] available when using {{Skill|Magic}}, Alt. Magic also benefits from rune preservation bonuses specifically for Alt. Magic spells. The maximum preservation chance for Alt. Magic that can currently be achieved with all available bonuses is 102% however rune preservation is capped at 80%.
 
These bonuses are additive, so for example a +20% Rune Preservation bonus combined with +10% Rune Preservation for Alt. Magic spells results in a combined +30% chance to preserve runes when casting Alt. Magic spells.

Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:
*'''Increased Skill XP:''' Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
*'''Decreased Skill Interval:''' Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
*'''Preservation Chance:''' Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed.
*'''Increased Chance to Double Items:''' Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions.
*'''Increased Mastery XP:''' Enhances the rate at which mastery XP is gained for a skill.
