An Overload is a potion purchased from Dom Onion's Reward Shop for 1,500 Nightmare Zone points per dose. Overloads cannot be used outside the Nightmare Zone. Drinking an overload raises a player's Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, and Magic levels by 5-19 (5 + 15% of the player's level, rounded down) for five minutes, while causing them to take 50 hitpoints worth of damage over the course of several seconds. This damage is not absorbed if the player has used an Absorption potion.

It is not possible to use an overload if the player currently has less than 51 Hitpoints. However, if a player drinks an overload and lowers their Hitpoints (such as by using a dwarven rock cake or locator orb) before the overload has finished causing damage, it is possible for the resulting damage to kill them.

Level boosts from an overload are reapplied every 15 seconds until the 5 minute duration ends, at which point the player is healed for 50 Hitpoints and the boosts wear off. Boosts from overloads do progressively decay over time, but given the 15 second reapplications, they effectively remain near or at full effect until the potion wears off.

A player drinking a dose of overload.

Stat boosts by level

Boosts to most combat skills is calculated with: $\lfloor {\text{Level}}\times {\frac {15}{100}}\rfloor +5$
