 ==Description==
-Water walking lets you walk over [[moat]]s, [[pool]]s and [[swamp]]s as if they were normal land it can also work for walking on [[lava]], you will sustain damage unless you have [[fire resistance]] and risk destroying whatever item confers the property if it is flammable - this will plunge you into the lava, with possibly fatal results. Water walking does not work on the [[Plane of Water]], as you are situated in air bubbles ''within'' the water rather than above.

 Displacing a [[pet]] while standing on water this way will cause them to [[drown]] unless they can [[swim]] or [[fly]], and standing on water has no effect on [[drowning attack]]s.

-Players walking over water can #[[dip]] as much as they want without fear of releasing monsters as with [[fountain]]s; however, [[giant eel]]s and [[kraken]] are just as much a danger as before, and [[nymph]]s and [[foocubi]] can cause you to disrobe and take off your boots, sending you plunging to a possible doom. Take care to avoid [[sea monster]]-infested waters when dipping, unless you plan to cross quickly or else dispatch potential drowning hazards.

 While water walking, you may safely enter water-based squares listed above and not fall in and potentially drown. Additionally, if your water walking boots are [[fooproof|fireproof]], you can walk across [[lava]] - but you will sustain damage unless you have [[fire resistance]]. Attempting to do so without fireproof boots will burn them up, and you suffer the effects of the lava as normal.
