About Saturated heart
A saturated heart is a reusable Magic boost made from an imbued heart and 150,000 ancient essence. Saturation is irreversible. Imbued hearts come from superior Slayer monsters, while ancient essence has sources including Phantom Muspah and essence mining. If you are buying the finished heart, compare its quote with the cost of those ingredients before deciding which route to take.
The boost is four plus ten percent of your Magic level, rounded down: +13 at 99 Magic. It lasts five minutes without the normal gradual drain, with a five-minute cooldown. The imbued heart has a seven-minute cooldown. Saturated hearts are tradeable and reusable, so buyers pay for a lasting gear upgrade rather than buying another heart every time they want a boost.
For someone choosing between the two hearts, the stronger boost and shorter cooldown are the useful differences. For a trader, the ingredient markets offer another comparison to make alongside the finished item's history. Price each ingredient at a fresh quote when checking the recipe cost. Then inspect activity on both sides of the finished-heart market before deciding how much cash to commit to resale.

How to trade Saturated heart
Start with both quote ages and the verdict reason. The buy limit is eight hearts every four hours. Check the daily and latest five-minute side volumes before choosing a batch, and use the after-tax ticket to set your entry and exit. A single heart already commits a large purchase, so leave enough cash for your other offers.
Resale pays the GE's 2% fee, rounded down and capped at 5 million GP per item. Compare net profit with the price history and displayed peers, keeping missing days visible. Read a fresh audit for previous threshold hits. If you plan to make a heart, price the imbued heart and essence separately. For Coffer, use the guide-price result and confirm eligibility in game; both saturation and sacrifice are irreversible.

How much does a saturated heart boost Magic?

Does a saturated heart degrade?
No. You keep the heart and can reuse it after its five-minute cooldown. The Magic boost lasts five minutes, and each activation uses the same finished item. The 150,000 ancient essence is spent once when making the upgrade; you do not need another stack to keep using it.
Is the saturated heart tradeable in OSRS?

Is a saturated heart worth it in OSRS?
It is worth considering if you use an imbued heart often and want a stronger boost that stays at full strength for five minutes.
