This is the Regular Prayer Guide, the guide for Ironman/ Hardcore Ironman players is found Here.

Prayer is trained by either burying bones, or using them on altars that can be found around Grinderscape. Different bones give different amounts of experience.

Prayers are unlocked as the level in the skill goes up, these Prayers are used to aid the player in combat. The prayers can help boost Attack, Defence, Strength, Ranged, and Magic; among other uses. When prayers are activated, your Prayer points will start to drain until the prayer is turned off or all Prayer points are used. To restore these, either drink a potion that restores prayer, or pray at an altar.

Prayer is relatively simple to train. However, it is very expensive unless you are getting the bones yourself.

Prayers

There are two different sets of prayers. The "modern" prayers are enabled by default, and include prayers up to level 77. The other Prayers are known as Curses, these are aimed at players with higher Prayer levels as these are a much more powerful set of prayers.

Luckily, it is very easy to switch between Prayers. All you need to do is teleport to Edgeville, along the western wall of the building north of you, is an altar. Simply right-click it and select "Switch Spells" and then choose the Spellbook you want.

• Super Donators can change their Prayers from Normal Prayers to Curses anywhere besides the Wilderness, Minigames, and in Combat situations.

Getting Bones

Even though Prayer can be very useful, and very rewarding, it is also one of the most expensive skills to train, depending on whether you choose to get the bones required yourself, or buying it from other players.

The faster method would be to buy the bones from other players, this does cost a lot of money, but as mentioned, gets the job done quickly.

If you are one of the people that would rather put in some extra work and go slaying for these bones, the following will show you exactly where and how to get them.

Bones

You can acquire normal Bones by killing any kind of low level creatures around Grinderscape. Using normal Bones to train is not recommended at all, as all other types of bones are ranging from marginally to significantly better, and are not very hard to obtain.

A good example of NPC's that drop bones are Rockcrabs. To get them, click on the world map icon, beside the minimap.

Then select "Combat Training" for the category, and then "Rock Crabs Area"

Big Bones

Like normal Bones, these bones are also very simple to get. Although they are better than normal Bones, it is still not reccommended to use these Bones to train.

Some good monsters to kill for these bones are Moss Giants, as they aren't hard to kill. You can get to Moss Giants by opening your spellbook and clicking on Combat Training teleports, and choosing the "Edgeville Dungeon" option at the top, and then walking south to the NPCs.

Dragon Bones

In terms of experience per gold, Dragon Bones are some of the best bones for this skill.

Dragon bones have a 100% drop rate from any dragon in Grinderscape. Killing high level or low level dragons makes no difference for the Bones, it is recommended to kill Green Dragons. Killing them in the northern regions of North Neitznot is optimal, as the only other alternative location is near a very popular PKing location, where the risk of being attacked and or killed is very high.

Location:

To get there, click on the world map icon, beside the minimap.

Then select "Skilling" for the category, and then "Neitznot (North)"

When you arrive, walk north of your initial location after having arrived, and click on the beginning of the broken bridge there. (You may have to stand right in front of it inorder to cross.)

Now walk north once again until you see Green Dragons to the most northern part of Neitiznot.

Wyvern Bones

Wyvern bones are only dropped by one monster in the game, Wyverns. Wyverns can be found in "Asgarnian Dungeon" within the Combat training teleports.

To get to Wyverns, you will need a crystal key. These keys are dropped from Ice Giants found in the Asgarnian Dungeon. Once you have a key. You can go into the cave entrance on the western side the dunegon.

Once you enter the sub-cave, you will see the high level monsters.

Dagannoth Bones

Dagannoth Bones can only be obtained by killing the three Dagannoth Kings. These Bones give great experience, but it is hard to find someone who will sell them.

Frost Dragon Bones

Frost Dragon Bones are gained from kill only Frost Dragons and give the second best Prayer experience of any Bone.

Zogre Bones

Zogre, or Z Bones are the best bones in the game for training the prayer skill. Again, this type of bone is only dropped from one monster. This time, they are dropped by the boss Mutant Tarn.

These are very expensive due to the huge amount of experience they offer.

Training

Once you have the bones training is pretty simple. There are two ways to train this skill:

• Take the bones you have, and bury them in the ground
• Using the on an Altar.

Using bones on an Altar gives twice the experience for each bone than you would get if you buried it. So to be as efficient as possible, and to save as much money as possible if you did buy the bones, it's recommended to use them on an Altar. An altar can be found along the western wall of the bank at Neitznot (south).
