The Boots of the Marsh Runner is a great item, but the one thing that always annoys me when wearing them is that you have to wait a few seconds until you can fall into the water and grab that item you just dropped.

I've recently been gathering a lot of plant items for Herblore, and it pains me how I have to wait to go into the pocket of marsh that my item dropped into. Every. Single. Time.

This is why I'm suggesting that sneaking while wearing the boots will immediately drop you into the water.

You're never going to sneak on water with the boots on anyways, it doesn't last long enough to be practical. The only conflict would be with an actual Lightweight Draught, in which case the draught's
effect should override the sneaking mechanic.
