I've previously suggested https://discord.com/channels/324132423636090880/1399463502933917807 but it had some problems. This suggestion aims to address the same problem I've brought up there, but in a different, preferably less potentially-exploitable way.

So imagine this; you want to get the most out of your potions/pies, so you try to wait for the moment just after your stats decay to pot back up. You look at the boost timer, see you have about 20 seconds left, glance back to your second monitor or whatever it is you're doing then glance back to the timer just to see that you've completely missed your opportunity to pot up and have to wait another 40 seconds for your next chance.

Isn't that just annoying? Wouldn't you like to be able to boost at your convenience instead of waiting on an arbitrary timer to tell you when your allowed to eat or drink?

Enter; the Preserve Prayer. Normally this extends the length of the decay timer when active, but I'd like to suggest that it also be able to immediately trigger stat decay upon being deactivated, decrementing your boosts by 1 and resetting the timer to a full minute just like if it were to hit 0 naturally. That way, instead of having to wait on the boost timer to tick all the way down, you can just flick preserve and immediately pot back up while still getting the most out of your dose.

UPDATE: Alternatively; this function can be placed on the Restore Stats prayer instead.

I would want it on maybe the "restore stats" prayer instead of preserve, because otherwise this screws you when you stop a quickprayer between boss kills and not using divines

I’m very down with the idea of being able to somehow reset the timer, but also you can set RL notifications for when your stats hit a certain boost level just FYI

One downside i can see with this is if you're using prayer regen pots for redemption at thermy (for example)
Each redemption proc would disable preserve resulting in a -1 on your existing boost

Highly agree with it being put on the "restore stats" prayer, it's very rarely used so wouldn't cause weird situations where you nuke your stat boost accidentally

I mean in that case you just don't use preserve surely if you're intentionally dropping your prayer

Smite?
Regardless, you can still change your quick prayers, and if you're intentionally redemption proccing, you probably shouldn't use preserve in the first place.

Probably would make more sense as a toggle maybe in settings if this were a feature anyway
