Tips

 * If the player drops items which provides a large amount of mana (e.g. or ), then uses Arcane Boots, and then picks up the dropped items again, the player will overall gain for more than 135 mana. This is because upon dropping the mana granting items, the player's maximum mana drops while the current mana percentage stays the same, but Arcane Boots still gives the full amount. After picking up the items again, its maximum mana raises, and its current mana percentage stays the same.
 * Using Replenish Mana every time it is off cooldown is equivalent to 2.45 mana per second, which regenerates the bonus mana in 102 seconds.

Trivia

 * Before 6.68, Arcane Boots was known as Arcane Ring. It required a Ring of Protection and a recipe, instead of Boots of Speed. It had the same active ability, but passively granted armor, instead of movement speed.
