OSRS elemental amulets guide 2026: new +2 max hit magic jewellery
The Summer Sweep Up Miscellaneous update (2 September 2026) added four elemental magic amulets — Air, Water, Earth and Fire — plus a combined Elemental Amulet. Each single amulet gives +10 magic accuracy and +2 max hit on its respective elemental spells, crafted by combining an Amulet of magic, the matching elemental jewel and 100 matching runes at that element's rune altar (Air 18 Runecraft, Water 19, Earth 20, Fire 21). The jewels drop 1/64 from Slayer monsters: Air diamonds from Killerwatts, Water sapphires from Sea Snake Hatchlings, Earth emeralds from Molanisks and Fire rubies from Infernal Mages. The combined Elemental Amulet (Runecraft 30, all four amulets + 500 runes of each element) applies +10 accuracy and +2 max hit across all core elemental spells, making it a niche but real option for elemental-bolt builds below the occult/max-cape meta.
Key takeaways
- Four new amulets: Air, Water, Earth, Fire (each +10 accuracy, +2 max hit on its element).
- Craft at the elemental altar: Amulet of magic + jewel + 100 runes (Runecraft 18–21).
- Jewels drop 1/64 from Killerwatts, Sea Snake Hatchlings, Molanisks, Infernal Mages.
- Combined Elemental Amulet: Runecraft 30, all four + 500 runes per element.
- Niche boost for elemental bolt/curse builds; not a BiS replacement.
What the new amulets do
Each of the four elemental amulets gives +10 magic accuracy plus +2 max hit on spells of its element — Air, Water, Earth or Fire. That is a noticeable bump for magic training and for elemental-bolt builds that previously had no dedicated jewellery boost for a single element.
The combined Elemental Amulet applies the same +10 accuracy and +2 max hit across all core elemental spells. Because it needs Runecraft 30 and all four component amulets, it is the easiest way to keep the bonus without switching jewellery per spell, though it still sits below the occult/max-cape meta for most endgame setups.
- Single amulets: +10 accuracy, +2 max hit on one element each.
- Combined: +10 accuracy, +2 max hit on all core elemental spells.
- Best for elemental-bolt and spellbook-curse content.
- Not a BiS replacement — a niche progression step.
Crafting recipes
The crafting steps are identical for all four. Take an Amulet of magic, the matching elemental jewel and 100 runes of that element to the elemental altar — Air altar for air, and so on. The Runecraft requirement is low: 18 for Air, 19 for Water, 20 for Earth and 21 for Fire.
For the combined Elemental Amulet you need all four amulets plus 500 runes of each element, and Runecraft 30. It can be created at any elemental rune altar, so you pick whichever is easiest to reach.
Where the jewels drop
The four jewels drop at 1/64 from Slayer monsters: Air diamonds from Killerwatts, Water sapphires from Sea Snake Hatchlings, Earth emeralds from Molanisks, and Fire rubies from Infernal Mages. All four are Slayer-exclusive monsters, so the amulets are effectively gated behind Slayer as much as Runecraft.
That means a mid-game player who wants the Elemental Amulet needs the corresponding monster tasks. Killerwatts (Kandarin) and Sea Snake Hatchlings (Sailing-era content) are low-mid tasks, Molanisks require a quest line (Troll Stronghold area), and Infernal Mages are common mid-tier tasks.
- Air diamond — Killerwatts (1/64).
- Water sapphire — Sea Snake Hatchlings (1/64).
- Earth emerald — Molanisks (1/64).
- Fire ruby — Infernal Mages (1/64).
- Everything is on Slayer tables.
Value assessment for 2026
For a magic-focused account, the amulets make an early elemental-bolt or curse build noticeably stronger at a very low gear cost: the components are cheap and the Runecraft requirements are beginner-tier. That is the niche — pre-occult players get a small DPS bump when training magic or running low-level elemental content.
Once you own an Occult necklace (or the endgame max-cape setup), the +10 accuracy and +2 max hit stop mattering for most endgame spells, so treat these as progression jewellery rather than a change to any endgame BiS list. The combined version is the convenience pick if you switch elements often.
