Prayer is a

skill. It provides passive combat bonuses at the expense of prayer points. Prayer is one of three skills (along with

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Defence

and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Hitpoints

) that is used when determining a player or monster's Combat Level.

Mechanics

Using Prayers

Up to two prayers can be activated from the Prayer panel on the Combat UI. Active prayers will be highlighted, and can be deactivated by interacting with them again. Active prayers provide a variety of passive benefits in combat. New prayers are unlocked as the Prayer skill levels up. Normal and Unholy Prayers can only be used while using Normal Damage and consume Prayer Points while

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Abyssal Prayers can only be used while using

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Abyssal Damage and consume

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Soul Points.

Each equipment set tracks active prayers separately, but a given prayer can be used in any number of equipment sets. Upon death, all prayers are deactivated for the current equipment set and must be manually reapplied.

Prayer Points

Each active Standard Prayer and Unholy Prayer costs prayer points (PP) to maintain. This cost is usually incurred when the player or enemy attacks; the specific trigger is detailed in each prayer's description. If the player doesn't have enough PP to trigger an active prayer, it will be deactivated.

Prayer points can be gained by burying bones, enchanted urns, and similar items from the Bank. Current PP is shown in the Stats panel in the Combat UI and next to the Prayer skill in the sidebar. The maximum PP the player can have is 4,294,967,295 (~4.3b). If the amount of PP exceeds ~4.3b, ~4.3b prayer points will be deleted until the remaining prayer points is below ~4.3b.

Damage dealt by failed

Thieving

attempts is not currently considered an "enemy attack", allowing

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

and all prayers that provide Damage Reduction to be used indefinitely at no cost while Thieving.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Soul Points

Soul Points (SP) are identical to Prayer Points however they are used to maintain Abyssal Prayers. Soul Points can be gained by releasing Souls from the Bank. The current SP is shown in the Stats panel in the Combat UI. The current SP can be shown in the sidebar if the 'Show Soul Points in the sidebar instead of Prayer Points' setting is enabled. Soul Points are also limited to ~4.3b and will also be deleted if the amount of SP exceeds this number.

Earning Prayer XP

Prayer experience is earned when dealing damage to an enemy while at least one prayer is active. Certain prayers provide no XP, usually because they don't trigger on a player attack; each prayer's description explains whether or not it rewards XP.

The amount of Prayer experience earned is [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{30} }[/math] or [math]\displaystyle{ 3.33 \% }[/math] per point of damage dealt by a player attack, multiplied by the total base PP cost of all active prayers. Base PP cost refers to the cost of a prayer before any cost modifiers are applied, meaning that increasing or decreasing prayer costs will not affect how much XP is earned. Using prayers with the highest base costs will result in the most Prayer XP gained per attack.

Prayer can be used to great effect with any combat style. With a healthy supply of PP, Prayer is one of the first Combat skills to reach max level for many players.

Earning
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Abyssal Prayer XP

Abyssal Prayer XP is earned the same way as regular prayer xp however Abyssal Prayers must be used to gain Abyssal XP. Abyssal Prayers can only be active while Abyssal Damage is being used. The amount of Abyssal XP earned is the same as regular prayers.

Prayers

All prayers that provide percentage bonuses to Accuracy, Evasion, or Max Hit apply multiplicatively. For example,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Mystic Might

's +15% Magic Evasion bonus will multiply the player's Magic Evasion Rating by 1.15 rather than directly providing a 15% chance to evade any Magic attack. Likewise, the +15% Magic Accuracy bonus it provides will multiply the player's Magic Accuracy Rating by 1.15 rather than simply adding 15% to their hit chance. Players can view the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Combat

page for more detail on how hit chance is calculated. The three Protection prayers are worded differently and behave differently from prayers that affect Evasion Rating. For example,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Protect from Magic

provides a flat 80% chance for the player to dodge any Magic attack, completely ignoring the player's Evasion Rating. (Using these prayers when a monster's chance to hit is 20% or lower is not advised, as that increases the chance of being hit.) Likewise, prayers that provide Damage Reduction award a flat percentage bonus, and do not multiply any DR that is already in effect.

Unholy Prayers

Unholy Prayers are a subset of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Prayer

options, introduced in the Atlas of Discovery Expansion. In order to utilize Unholy Prayers, a player must be wearing at least two items that Allow Unholy Prayer Usage.

Normal Prayers and Unholy Prayers can not be used together.

Abyssal Prayers

Abyssal Prayers are a subset of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Prayer

options, introduced in the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Into the Abyss Expansion. Abyssal prayers can only be used in conjunction with Abyssal Damage weaponry. Unlike regular prayers, abyssal prayers use Soul Points instead of Prayer Points

Abyssal prayers cannot be used together with normal prayers, nor unholy prayers.

Gaining Prayer Points

The most common way to gain prayer points (PP) is to use the "Bury Item" action on certain items from the Bank. Most non-Dungeon monsters drop some kind of Bones or similar items when killed. Burying these items is one of the only sources of PP in the early game, but they only provide a small amount per item, and are large quantities are required for certain

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Township

tasks. Enchanted Urns are by far the most efficient source of PP, despite requiring moderate investments in

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Woodcutting

,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Crafting

, and

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Magic

. It may be useful to delay leveling Prayer until the player can create and bury these urns. Raw Skeleton Fish are a simpler, though less efficient, alternative for players without the prerequisite skills.

The Amulet of Prayers and Holy Bulwark Potion provide PP upon taking damage from a monster.

Prayer Point (PP) Sources

The table below lists all items that can be buried to gain prayer points.

If a monster drops one of these items as loot while wearing the Bone Necklace, they will automatically be buried for twice the normal amount of PP. These items all qualify as "Bones" while wearing the Necromancers Crown.

Pet	Name	DLC	Effect
	Monk-ey		+5% Chance To Preserve Prayer Points

Skill Boosts

Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:

Increased Skill XP: Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
Decreased Skill Interval: Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
Preservation Chance: Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed.
Increased Chance to Double Items: Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions.
Increased Mastery XP: Enhances the rate at which mastery XP is gained for a skill.

For more information on general skill boosts that apply to all skills, refer to the Skill Boosts page.

-Slayer tasks do not directly generate many bones. Instead, the Prayer points are acquired by spending the {{Icon|Slayer Coins}} earned at the [[Shop]] on either {{Icon|Standard Resupply}} or {{Icon|Generous Resupply}} packs, which contain {{ItemIcon|Magic Bones|qty=500}} and {{ItemIcon|Magic Bones|qty=1000}} respectively. (The {{Icon|Basic Resupply}} provides a worse rate than the other two and should be avoided)
+Normal Prayers and Unholy Prayers can not be used together.
-Both the Standard and Generous Resupply packs allow converting Slayer Coins into Prayer Points at a rate of {{SC|2}} per Prayer Point. This means Slayer tasks begin generating 5 prayer points per second once the player can gain at least {{SC|36000}} per hour.
+==Abyssal Prayers==
+{{Main|Reference=Abyssal Prayers}}
+[[Abyssal Prayers]] are a subset of {{Icon|Prayer}} options, introduced in the {{ItA}} [[Into the Abyss Expansion]]. Abyssal prayers can only be used in conjunction with Abyssal Damage weaponry. Unlike regular prayers, abyssal prayers use [[Soul Points]] instead of [[Prayer Points]]
-== Bones ==
+Abyssal prayers cannot be used together with normal prayers, nor unholy prayers.
-Bones can primarily be acquired by killing [[Monsters]] that are not in [[Dungeons]]. Alternative sources are:
-* {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} from {{Skill|Fishing}}
-* {{Icon|type=spell|Bone Offering}} and {{Icon|type=spell|Blessed Offering}} spells from {{Skill|Alt Magic}}
-* {{ItemIcon|Stack of Bones}} from the {{Icon|type=thieving|Troll}} or {{Icon|type=thieving|Cyclops}} {{Skill|Thieving}} NPCs
-* {{Icon|Basic Resupply}}, {{Icon|Standard Resupply}}, or {{Icon|Generous Resupply}} packs from the [[Shop]]
-{{BonesTable}}
-== Prayers ==
+== Gaining Prayer Points ==
+The most common way to gain prayer points (PP) is to use the "Bury Item" action on certain items from the [[Bank]]. Most non-[[Dungeons|Dungeon]] monsters drop some kind of {{ItemIcon|Bones}} or similar items when killed. Burying these items is one of the only sources of PP in the early game, but they only provide a small amount per item, and are large quantities are required for certain {{Skill|Township}} tasks.
-All prayers that provide a percentage increase apply multiplicatively, except for {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} which provides a flat 3% increase to [[Damage Reduction]]. For example, {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Might}}'s +15% Magic Evasion bonus will multiply the player's [[Combat#Magic Evasion Rating|Magic Evasion Rating]] by 1.15 rather than directly providing a 15% chance to evade any Magic attack. Likewise, the +15% Magic Accuracy bonus it provides will multiply the player's [[Combat#Magic Accuracy Rating|Magic Accuracy Rating]] by 1.15 rather than simply adding 15% to their hit chance. Players can view the {{Icon|Combat}} page for more detail on how hit chance is calculated.
+{{ItemIcon|Large Urn (Enchanted)|Enchanted Urns}} are by far the most efficient source of PP, despite requiring moderate investments in {{Skill|Woodcutting}}, {{Skill|Crafting}}, and {{Skill|Magic}}. It may be useful to delay leveling Prayer until the player can create and bury these urns. {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} are a simpler, though less efficient, alternative for players without the prerequisite skills.
-The three Protection prayers are worded differently and behave differently from prayers that affect Evasion Rating. For example, {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Magic}} provides a flat 80% chance for the player to dodge any Magic attack, therefore using protection prayers when the monsters's chance to hit is 20% or lower is not advised as doing so would increase the monster's chance to hit.
+The {{TotH}}{{ItemIcon|Amulet of Prayers}} and {{TotH}}{{ItemIcon|Holy Bulwark Potion}} provide PP upon taking damage from a monster.
-{{PrayerTable}}
-=== Reducing Prayer Point Usage ===
+=== Prayer Point (PP) Sources ===
-To reduce the number of prayer points used by active prayers, players can take advantage of various sources granting modifiers that reduce the prayer point cost of prayers and/or provide a chance to preserve all prayer points the prayer would have used.
+The table below lists all items that can be buried to gain prayer points.
-The prayer point cost reduction modifiers can reduce the cost of prayers to a minimum of 1 point per prayer, the only exception to this being that protection prayers are free when the {{ItemIcon|Gold Diamond Ring}} is equipped. Any flat prayer point reductions are applied before any percentage reductions, therefore in some specific cases some flat cost reductions provide no benefit. For example, consider a scenario where prayers with an odd prayer point cost are active while both the {{ItemIcon|Prayer Skillcape}} and {{ItemIcon|Priest Hat}} are equipped - in such a case, the Prayer Skillcape reduces the cost to 2 points regardless of whether the Priest Hat is equipped or not.
+If a monster drops one of these items as loot while wearing the {{ItemIcon|Bone Necklace}}, they will automatically be buried for twice the normal amount of PP. These items all qualify as "Bones" while wearing the {{ItemIcon|Necromancers Crown}}.
+{{BonesTable}}
-The chance to preserve prayer points provides a chance that active prayers will be used for free. The highest possible chance to preserve is currently 78% without {{Skill|Astrology}} constellations, or up to 93% should the player manage to roll +5% chance to preserve prayer points on all three unique modifier stars within the {{Icon|type=constellation|Hyden}} constellation.

-The [[Skillcapes|skillcape]] can be purchased from the store for {{GP|1000000}} after the player reaches {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|99}}.

-The [[Pets|pet]] can be unlocked by doing any action that provides Prayer XP.
+This skill's [[Pets|pet]] can be unlocked by performing any action that provides Prayer XP.

+==Skill Boosts==
+{{Main|Reference={{PAGENAME}}/Boosts|Name={{PAGENAME}} Boosts}}
+Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:
+*'''Increased Skill XP:''' Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
+*'''Decreased Skill Interval:''' Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
+*'''Preservation Chance:''' Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed.
+*'''Increased Chance to Double Items:''' Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions.
+*'''Increased Mastery XP:''' Enhances the rate at which mastery XP is gained for a skill.
+For more information on general skill boosts that apply to all skills, refer to the [[Skill Boosts]] page.
