Eternal boots are an upgraded magic-boot that requires 75 Magic and 75 Defence to wear. They carry +8 Magic attack, +8 Magic defence and a 1% Magic damage bonus, making them one of the best magic boots in the game — second-highest behind the Avernic treads. You make them by combining an eternal crystal (a 1/520 drop from Cerberus) with a pair of infinity boots, a one-way process. They trade on the Grand Exchange for roughly 3.9M.
Equipment bonuses
The eternal boots' defining bonuses are their +8 Magic attack and +8 Magic defence, paired with a 1% Magic damage boost and a tidy +5 across every defensive style. That magic-damage line is what separates them from cheaper alternatives on long mage trips.

How to get the eternal boots
Eternal boots aren't a direct drop — you craft them. You combine an eternal crystal with a pair of infinity boots, and the crystal is the bottleneck.
- Eternal crystal — a 1/520 drop from Cerberus, the hellhound boss. She also drops the pegasian and primordial crystals at the same rate.
- Infinity boots — the base boots you upgrade, bought or earned elsewhere.
Combining the two requires level 60 Magic and 60 Runecraft (these levels cannot be boosted) and grants 200 experience in both skills. The upgrade cannot be reversed, and unlike infinity boots the finished eternal boots cannot be stored in a player-owned house. If you'd rather skip the grind, the boots trade freely on the Grand Exchange for around 3.9M. Browse more magic gear to round out the setup.
Are eternal boots worth it?
For most mages, yes. The +8 Magic attack and 1% Magic damage make eternal boots a meaningful step up from infinity boots, and at the feet slot they sit just behind the very top option.
The honest ranking: eternal boots have the second-highest Magic attack and Magic defence of any boots, behind the Avernic treads. The Avernic treads edge them out at the top of magic, ranged and melee feet bonuses, so if you have those and gear for pure magic output they win. But the Avernic treads are far pricier, which keeps eternal boots the practical, value-for-money pick for the vast majority of mage trips. Their 1% magic-damage bonus is the deciding factor on long casts where every percent of extra damage compounds.
