Some Prayers Cannot Be Used Simultaneously Prayer is a combat skill that grants the player specialised buffs in combat and skilling by evoking the power of the dead. All players start with limited access to the Prayer skill and gain more access as their Prayer level increases. As players traverse the land and complete many adventures, they find themselves presented with the opportunity to gain the prayers and blessings from various schools of thought represented by different gods. Some of the strongest prayers are only available after doing certain members' quests or activities. Prayer is currently one of the quickest skills to achieve skill mastery in, as it is possible to reach level 99 in just a few days using the appropriate bones and methods; however, quickly training prayer tends to be expensive compared to other skills.  Prayer is classified as a combat skill and is factored into the combat level formula. Therefore, leveling up in Prayer will contribute towards increasing a player's combat level.  Initially, it was believed that prayers are aligned specifically with Saradomin, and there are those on Gielinor who believed that prayers are a response from Saradomin. As Zamorak claimed in a God Letter,[1] the God of Order deals with prayers, "so when you give dead creatures / people an honourable burial in his name it makes him pay closer attention to you, and help you out in little ways that Guthix won't notice."  However, Necrovarus' notes states that this is factually incorrect, although it is nevertheless believed by many on Gielinor. The notes state that prayer is actually energy harnessed from the dead by giving them a proper burial. Indeed, Yauchomi, the former Lumbridge Prayer Tutor, also stated that burying bones raised the player's Prayer level by increasing their "holy energies". The actual connection between Prayer and the gods of Gielinor, including Saradomin as well as others such as Zaros and Seren, is that the unique energy obtained by giving the dead a proper burial could be channelled into receiving certain boons or curses, which may be aligned with a particular god.  Prayer, unlike most skills that are directly related to their name, cannot be trained just through the act of "praying". In fact, Prayer almost completely relies on destroying remains, such as by scattering demonic ashes or burying bones to gain experience.  1 History and origins  2 Overview of how Prayer works  3 Prayers  4 Ancient Curses  5 Free-to-play training 5.1 Gathering bones  6.1 Popular training methods  6.2 Experience boosting equipment  6.3 Bones cost analysis  14.1 Level  14.2 Points  History and origins[edit | edit source]  Prayer is one of the oldest skills in the game, dating back to early RuneScape Classic. As with good and evil Magic, it had two facets: PrayGood and PrayEvil. Earlier than this, Prayer was known as Necromancy - the name change was probably because Necromancy was the moniker given to the Magic Class (back when the game had classes).[source needed]  Prayer was the last of the original skills in which players were able to reach the maximum skill level of 99. Before any of the "prayers" were made available (the current motive for training this skill), players could still gain Prayer levels through burying bones and completing The Restless Ghost. While Prayer did not have any uses, it existed in the Good Magic and Evil Magic skills simply as a "moral compass" of sorts. Although superficially burying bones may not seem to have much to do with Prayer, it has been said in Postbag from the Hedge that although Saradomin condemns violence, he does like the player to bury the body honourably. In the God Letters, Guthix himself commented:  These, and Zamorak's statement above, would appear to align with the widespread belief that prayer is associated specifically with Saradomin, and many on Gielinor actually believed that prayer is a response from Saradomin in return for offering of bones. However, as stated in Necrovarus' notes, prayer actually draws its power on the souls of the dead. By giving them a proper burial, they emit a unique energy that can be channelled by skilled individuals to gain boons or curses, which are taught within a school of thought represented by a god.  On 6 September 2011 Prayer points were updated to work in the same way as life points, i.e. the maximum number of Prayer points a player normally has is 10x their Prayer level. The drain rate of Prayer points has been updated to match the change.  On 20 November 2012, the Evolution of Combat update reduced the effect of many prayers. For example, the damage reduction of protection prayers was changed from 100% to 50%. It also nerfed stat-boosting prayers severely. But it did introduce some new prayers for mages and rangers, to make the combat triangle balanced prayer-wise. Melee still appears to be a little better in the original prayers as melee prayers require lower Prayer levels than Magic prayers.  On 25 March 2009, the Prayer icon next to the minimap () (now next to the prayer bar on the action bar) had a function added which expanded on its function as a simple meter. This new function was recognised as "quick prayers". It can now be left-clicked to activate, or deactivate, a group of Prayers preselected by the player simultaneously. You can select which prayers are activated by right-clicking the button and choosing the "Select quick prayers" option. (You can do the same with curses; the option changes to "Select quick curses". Quick curses and quick prayers are saved separately.) Before the addition of this function, players had to, sometimes frantically, locate the Prayer icon and activate them one by one. This new function allows players to place many of the most useful prayers on immediate standby. However, many players use the button simply to turn off Prayers when accessing prayers through its tab, by double left-clicking it to turn off all prayers.  This was the official release of the "quick prayers" function, as provided by Jagex:  On 10 July 2017, an update allowed players to add up to 10 presets for quick prayers or curses. Any of the presets can be dragged to the action bar for fast switching. This update also added the ability to name the presets using the names from the bank presets.  Overview of how Prayer works[edit | edit source]  Increasing a player's Prayer level is generally done through various uses of bones or demonic ashes, with non-members limited to burying them (except in Daemonheim, where they can be used on altars). Members have other options that are faster; such as offering bones to the gods at a gilded altar; worshipping at the Ectofuntus; or taking part in activities that award prayer experience such as Soul Wars, Conquest and Pest Control.  To use a prayer, players must click on any prayer available. Prayers that are highlighted with colour can be used by the player, while Prayers unavailable are darkened. When a player clicks on a prayer, a lighted circle will appear around it, indicating that they are using it.  Using a prayer drains the player's Prayer energy at varying speeds, and once this energy is depleted, prayers can no longer be used; therefore, use of any and all prayers is temporary. To slow the rate of drain, players may equip items that add Prayer bonuses, such as a blessed holy symbol or a priest gown, which reduces the drain rate by increasing Prayer bonuses. Increasing Prayer level does not reduce the drain rate of prayers.  Once the player's Prayer points reaches zero, all prayers will deactivate and no prayers will be able to be in use until the player recharges their Prayer points.  Prayer level determines the player's maximum Prayer points: if it's drained due to factors such as a trap in a Clan Battlefield, the maximum amount of Prayer points is reduced accordingly. This can be remedied with the use of a restore potion or super restore.  Prayers[edit | edit source]  This is the list of all prayers in the game. As a player's Prayer level increases, more of these Prayers will become available for usage.  While members have access to all 30 prayers, free players are only able to access 21, restricted from the last eight along with Protect from Summoning. Prayers can be activated in the Prayer List interface () Players can also use some prayers at the same time as others, though doing so will compound the drain rate of these prayers. Some prayers cannot be used simultaneously. For example, activating the Smite prayer while the Protect from Melee prayer is active will automatically deactivate Protect from Melee as they are incompatible Prayers.  Some prayers have additional requirements in order to be activated. Chivalry, Piety, Augury and Rigour cannot be used until completing the Knight Waves training ground after the King's Ransom quest. Rapid Renewal cannot be used until the scroll of renewal has been read, which can be purchased from the Marmaros or Wythien for 38,000 Dungeoneering tokens by players with 65 Prayer and 65 Dungeoneering.  +2 levels (for armour)  +2 levels (for accuracy)  +2% damage  +4 levels (for armour)  2x restore rate for all except , and  2x restore rate for  Keep 1 extra item if you die.  +4 levels (for accuracy)  +4% damage  +6 levels (for armour)  Protect against damage from attacks and scrolls  Protection from attacks - 50%.

There is almost always a swarm of botters killing them, with lots of bones lying on the ground.  - Wilderness Chaos Temple (level 13) 11-15 normal bones respawn  Taverley Dungeon blue dragon lair, 5 normal bones respawn  Boneyard (previous Clan Wars location) has big bones and normal bones. Extremely good for free-to-play players.    Players may also consider gathering Big bones instead, which give 15 experience instead of the 4.5 experience given by normal bones. Many monsters, such as Hill giants, drop big bones when killed.  If a player has access to Cremation, they can use a bone on a bonfire to gain experience equivalent to 2.5 times that of the same bone when it is simply buried. Players can also use bones on altars in Daemonheim to gain four times the amount of experience.  Members training[edit | edit source]  Popular training methods[edit | edit source]  - Players can build a gilded altar in their Player owned house, or use someone else's gilded altar at Taverley on World 31. While both burners are lit, maximum experience is 3.5 times experience per bone or ash offered.  - The Chaos Temple altar located in level 12 Wilderness offers 3.5 times experience as well, with a risk of player-killers.  - The Ectofuntus gives 4 times the normal experience for burying bones and scattering ashes. Players must grind bones on the grinder upstairs and offer them at the Ectofuntus along with buckets of slime in their inventory.    Experience boosting equipment[edit | edit source]  First age outfit gives a 1% bonus experience per piece, as well as additional 1% for the complete set (totalling to 6% ). The equipment does not work at the ectofuntus. The Corruption, Harmony, and Salvation auras boost experience by another 1%.  Bones cost analysis[edit | edit source]  - See the bone burial calculator for coins-per-experience-point analysis of bones using live data from the Grand Exchange Market Watch.    Recharging[edit | edit source]  To recharge Prayer points, a player must pray at an altar or drink a potion that restores Prayer points. If a holy wrench is in the player's inventory or pocket slot or if the Reverence aura is activated while drinking a Prayer-restoring potion, additional Prayer points will be restored. Agility training Other options include dying or entering one of the many minigames that are PvP related.  Foods that recharge prayer  Jangerberries restore 10 Prayer points.  Holy biscuits are stackable and restore 10 Prayer points each.  Spicy stew with yellow spice can increase Prayer points by 10-60 points, but it may also drain them by the same amount.  Cheesecake is available in free-to-play and restores a variable amount of Prayer points depending on the player's Prayer level, up to 49 Prayer points per bite (147 Prayer points for the whole cheesecake) at level 99. There are also vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, lemon, and bacon cheesecakes that restore more Prayer points (up to 99 points per bite with bacon cheesecake and 99 Prayer), but are members-only.  Great maki restores 1% prayer every 1.8s for a total of 5% recharge.    Other methods of recharging prayer  The prayer cape's special ability will raise prayer from 990 to 1000.  The Dungeoneering reward items split dragontooth necklace, twisted bird skull necklace, and demon horn necklace recharge Prayer points while burying various types of bones, which can be very useful in combination with the bonecrusher, another Dungeoneering reward item.  The Falador shields, obtainable from the Falador Tasks, can also restore the player's Prayer points, but may only be activated once per day. The ancient mace and superior ancient mace can restore Prayer points using their special attacks. The Saradomin godsword can restore both life and Prayer points using its special attack, while its passive counterpart has a chance to restore life and Prayer points with each hit.  The ancient elven ritual shard can be activated to restore 37.5% of the player's total Prayer points over 30 seconds with a 5-minute cooldown. At level 99 Prayer, it restores 75 Prayer points every 6 seconds for a total of 5 times, giving 375 prayer points per activation.  While wearing full Citharede robes, a player can listen to a musician, restoring 30 Prayer points every game tick, or 150 points every 3 seconds.  Wearing a full set of Penance armour will allow prayer to slowly replenish at a rate of 30 Prayer points every minute.  The Penance aura enables the player to gain Prayer points equal to 5% of any damage they receive. The Corruption, Harmony, and Salvation auras restore Prayer points for every 500 Prayer XP gained.  The Penance blood essence can be used to increase damage taken, and a portion of the extra damage taken will be restored as prayer points.  The Spirit prayer pig's right-click option allows prayer to be restored.  The Ghast (familiar) familiar's special move restores 100 prayer points while costing 20 special move points.  Prayer-restoring potions[edit | edit source]  ^ Prayer points need to be rounded down after using the formulas.  ^ If a potion is untradeable the price of the ingredients is used instead.  Prayer bonus[edit | edit source]  Prayer bonuses can be viewed in the Equipment and Stats window. Here, players can see all their bonuses, including Prayer. Prayer points will drain slower or quicker, depending upon the amount of Prayer bonuses a player has. Players who have a positive Prayer bonus will drain slower Prayer points than usual. The higher the Prayer bonus is, the slower the player's Prayer points will drain when using Prayer.  Each point of Prayer bonus reduces the drain rate by 1% of the regular drain rate of the Prayer(s). A general formula for the time (interval) between dropping Prayer points with a given Prayer bonus is:  interval modified = interval original × ( 100 100 − bonus ) \displaystyle \textrm interval_\textrm modified=\textrm interval_\textrm original\times \left(\frac 100100-\textrm bonus\right)  Where the drain interval is the number of seconds per point (i.e. 1 point per x seconds).  For example, if a player uses the Protect from Melee prayer with a Prayer bonus of 0, their Prayer points would drain at a rate of 1 point every 0.4 seconds. If that player then equips armour giving a Prayer bonus of +20, the drain rate of this Prayer is slowed to 100 - 20 = 80%, so the drain interval becomes 0.4 × 100 80 = 0.5 \displaystyle \frac 0.4\times 10080=0.5 , or 1 point per 0.5 seconds instead of 1 point every 0.4 seconds.  You can also use the Prayer Drain Calculator to see your prayer drain rate based on which prayer(s) you have active and what your prayer bonus is.  To generate a Prayer bonus, players must equip certain types of armour, clothing, weapons, and jewellery. See the prayer equipment page for more information.  Prayer bonuses, however, do not help to stave off the side-effects of locations (such as the Barrows crypts and tunnels) and NPCs which drain Prayer.  Prayer flicking[edit | edit source]  The act of prayer flicking is where a player activates a prayer when its effect are needed and turns it off immediately after. If done correctly, this can result in less prayer drain. This can be done with combat prayers, protection prayers, and Soul Split.  Flicking requires constant attention and a lot of practice, but it can be useful where Prayer points need to be conserved, such as in Daemonheim or the TzHaar Fight Cave.  To prayer flick, one must activate and deactivate a prayer so it is active on the needed game tick. If flicking a combat prayer or Soul Split, this is the tick the player attacks; if flicking a protection prayer, this is the tick the opponent's attack reaches the player and deals damage.  Players can access prayers via the prayer book, their action bar, or their Quick Prayers (which can be placed on your action bar). Quick prayers can be used to flick multiple prayers such as Soul Split alongside a combat prayer, as can action bar keybinds.  If flicking protection prayers for monster attacks, the player needs to memorise the monster's attack rate.  Other uses[edit | edit source]  Players with level 70 or greater Prayer may also bless the gravestones of others to increase a gravestone's lifespan, up to 5 minutes.  Players under level 70 Prayer can repair the gravestones of others to return the gravestone's timer back to its original time. For example, a gravestone that lasts for four minutes, when repaired, will return to its time of four minutes.  Players with level 80 or greater Prayer can battle Gregorovic and Telos, the Warden (who also requires 80 Attack, Ranged and Magic).  Special monster behaviours[edit | edit source]  Some monsters use overhead prayers while fighting the player. For more information see this page.  The Black Knight Guardian can regenerate his health if the player has any Prayer points left and is within melee range, while draining the player's Prayer points.  TokTz-Ket-Dill and TokHaar-Ket-Dill are more likely to use their special attack that deals heavy, unblockable damage if the player is using overhead prayers/Curses.  The Hobgoblin Geomancer is more likely to use his prayer-draining special attack if players are using any prayer against him (including non-overhead).  Kal'Ger The Warmonger will use a deadly special attack that reduces your health to 1 if you block his attacks with a prayer/deflect curse 10 times consecutively.  The following monsters are able to recognise overhead prayer and will use alternate styles to counter them when battling.  Araxxi  Snailfeet  Mosschin  Redeyes  Strongbones  Revenants  Airut  Balance Elemental  Tormented demon  Flesh-spoiler Haasghenahk  Dagannoth mother  Chaos Dwarf Hand Cannoneer  Guthix wizard    Level-up table[edit | edit source]  Temporary boosts[edit | edit source]  Level[edit | edit source]  A player's Prayer level can be boosted by stepping on a properly configured powerup tile in a Clan Citadel battlefield. This boost simply boosts a player's temporary level. It does not boost the player's Prayer points above normal while in the battlefield. Like most other temporary boosts, this boost will wear off at the standard rate. This Prayer boost does not allow a player to use prayers that are above their base level. Prayer level can also be boosted by an Advanced pulse core.  Points[edit | edit source]  Prayer points can be boosted above the normal maximum (Prayer level x 10). Boosting Prayer points does Not enable a player to use prayers above their original Prayer level.  The following allow a boost to maximum Prayer points:  - The altars at God Wars Dungeon (providing you are wearing a relevant god item) Agility training .  - Praying at the statue of the Devourer in the Uzer Mastaba (this will drain several life points).  - The altar in Seers' Village boosts Prayer points by 20, if the player has completed the hard Seers' Village Tasks.  - The altar in the nature grotto (requires completion of Nature Spirit), boosts 20 Prayer points above maximum.  - A spicy stew with yellow spice can increase it by 10-60 points (however it can also decrease it by 10-60 points).  - A Prayer cape's special ability will raise it from 990 to 1,000.  - The Sulphur spring in Oo'glog will raise Prayer points above maximum depending on prayer level (at 50 Prayer it would be 570/500, at 70 it would be 780/700).  - The Edgeville Monastery's altar recharges 20 Prayer points above normal maximum, making it the best free-to-play altar.  - Praying at the Altar of Zaros in the Senntisten Temple will boost Prayer points by 15%.  - Each statue built during the In Memory of the Myreque miniquest will boost points by 5 (up to a maximum of 50) when paying respects at one of the statues.    Cape of Accomplishment[edit | edit source]  For players with level 99 Prayer, a Prayer cape can be bought from Brother Jered at the Edgeville Monastery. The cape costs 99,000 coins, like all other Capes of Achievement. If Prayer is a player's only mastered skill, they will have an untrimmed cape. If the player has 99 in any other skill, it will sport a yellow-gold trim. The Prayer cape's perk provides the effect of having two lit incense burners at all times when offering bones on an altar in a player-owned house, and also acts like a first age cape if the player owns one.  Skilling pet (Ghostly)[edit | edit source]  Like all skills, there is a skilling pet obtainable from training this skill. For Prayer, the pet is called Ghostly.  Quests with a Prayer requirement[edit | edit source]  - 10 - Nature Spirit  - 25 - Another Slice of H.A.M.  - 30 - Land of the Goblins  - 31 - Scorpion Catcher  - 35 - Missing My Mummy  - 35 - Spirit of Summer  - 42 - Legends' Quest  - 47 - Rum Deal  - 50 - The Great Brain Robbery  - 50 - The Temple at Senntisten  - 55 - Summer's End  - 70 - Nomad's Requiem  - 75 - Plague's End  - 80 - The Light Within    Quests for Prayer experience[edit | edit source]  - 90 Mining    - 3 Herblore    - 25 Slayer    - 20 Agility    - 36 Agility    - 36 Fishing    - 36 Thieving    - 37 Herblore    - 25 Agility    - 20 Cooking    - 15 Attack    - 19 Summoning    - 26 Farming    - 40 Construction    - 16 Crafting    - 30 Construction    - 35 Construction    - 35 Cooking    - 35 Crafting    - 35 Magic    - 40 Farming    - 42 Crafting    - 50 Fishing    - 42 Slayer    - 21 Firemaking    - 50 Agility    - 60 Thieving    - 60 Strength    - 33 Magic    - 37 Ranged    - 37 Mining    - 37 Thieving    - 23 Summoning    - 35 Hunter    - 37 Woodcutting    - 45 Mining    - 47 Firemaking    - 66 Magic    - 62 Cooking    - 62 Fishing    - 45 Smithing    - 42 Firemaking    - 40 Crafting    - 30 Attack    - 75 Agility    - 75 Construction    - 75 Crafting    - 75 Dungeoneering    - 75 Herblore    - 75 Mining    - 75 Ranged    - 75 Summoning    - 75 Woodcutting    - 80 Agility    - 80 Crafting    - 80 Divination    - 80 Herblore    - 80 Slayer    - 80 Woodcutting    Achievements[edit | edit source]  Bury All ( 20) - Manually bury or scatter each of the listed bones and ashes.  Curses!

Constant effect spells such as thick skin and burst of strength were moved from their original spellbooks into the newly formed Prayer book.  - Before the Evolution of Combat, each Prayer bonus point slowed the drain rate of prayers by 3.33%.  - The Prayer icon colour was originally yellow, but Jagex changed the colour on 21 November 2006 when Hunter was released.  - Most attackable monsters (such as the Kalphite Queen) do not use the power of prayer, but are instead naturally immune to certain types of attacks.  - The FAQ for The Mighty Fall has implied the existence of Bandosian prayers, which players cannot access.[3]  - Before the Evolution of Combat, players were capable of using prayers that had become obsolete due to unlocking superior versions of the prayer (such as using Mystic Lore instead of Mystic Might). This is no longer possible, as lower-levelled versions of prayers now automatically become replaced in the Prayer book by their more powerful variants.  - The current minimum requirement to be ranked (at approximately rank 1,215,023) on the Hiscores for Prayer is level 15. As of 20 June 2022, there are 237,857 current members that have achieved level 99 in Prayer. There are 13,497 current members that have achieved level 120 in Prayer.    See also[edit | edit source]  Altar for locations of altars across RuneScape  Prayer items  Quest experience rewards - Prayer  Free-to-play Prayer training, a guide to training Prayer for free-to-play players  Pay-to-play Prayer training, a guide to training Prayer for pay-to-play players  Grand Exchange Market Watch/Prayer  Prayer Calculators    References[edit | edit source]  ^ Jagex.
