The Reserve system, accessed via the RESERVE verb, allows you to set a small item usable in combat aside, ready to use anytime as if it was in your hand.

The aim of the system is to give you more flexibility in combat, and to increase the utility of the various magical consumable items.

Slots

The amount of items you can side aside ('reserve slots') depend on your subscription:

  • F2P accounts do not get any reserve slots.
  • Standard accounts get 1 slot.
  • Premium accounts get 2.
  • Platinum accounts get 3.
