Does the logout trick still work while making overloads?

(I'm not trying to break the rules, just curious if its been patched or not)

I made some extremes just last week, so afaik, yes it still works.

How does it work then?

You pot with Stews, before the timer runs out, you go to lobby and log back in again.

Your stats in-game are programed with a constant 1-minute "update" system. From the moment you log in, the game starts counting down on a minute timer. Once the timer his 0, your stats are "updated" and any boosted stats you have will be reduced by 1 and the timer resets. Once it hits 0 again, your stats will go down by 1 and the timer will reset again. And so on and so forth.

 

You can counter this by logging out to the lobby, and back into the game. This resets the timer and you get another minute(Although you should estimate on about 45 seconds due to log-in lag and just as a safety net in-case you lag) of time before your stats degrade. You can utilize this method to stay stewed to make overloads or extremes. It also works for using stationary stat-boosters to boost for a quest or something. Example: Using the mud baths for a hunting boost, or perhaps speaking to Oldak for his +2 runecrafting boost then logging out, then back in to reset the timer. After that, you traverse to the object/person you need to interact with with the boost being sure to re-log every 40 - 50 seconds as to prevent the boost from degrading.

 

On an unrelated note, this stat-degrading system is also the reason that sometimes your stats will degrade right after you boost them. Since the timer isn't based on when you boost the stats, it's an automatic degrade every minute.

 

Sorry for the long explanation, i was in an in-depth explaining mood >.>
