Prayer

Prayer is a

skill that provides passive bonuses at the expense of prayer points. Prayer points can be gained by burying bones from the Bank. Killing monsters while wearing the Bone Necklace will automatically bury bones and award twice the normal amount of prayer points. During Combat, a maximum of two prayers can be active at once. There is no limit to the amount of prayer points that the player can have. Raising Prayer to

will unlock the Prayer Skillcape for purchase from the Shop.

Prayer experience is earned when dealing damage to monsters while any prayers costing per player attack are active. The amount of Prayer experience earned is 0.1 per point of damage dealt multiplied by the prayer point cost per player attack. Note that the 'prayer point cost' is the base cost before any cost reductions are applied, meaning that methods used by the player to reduce prayer costs do not reduce the experience earned. This experience can be increased by 7% by equipping the Gold Emerald Ring, which is multiplicative with the 1% increase from Pyro and 5% from Firemaking Skillcape for an increase of 13.42%.

Bones

Bones can primarily be acquired by killing Monsters that are not in Dungeons. Alternative sources are Raw Skeleton Fish from

, Bone Offering or Blessed Offering spells from

, and Basic Resupply, Standard Resupply, or Generous Resupply packs from the Shop.

Prayers

All prayers that provide a percentage increase apply multiplicatively, except for

which provides a flat 3% increase to Damage Reduction. For example,

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

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,

Protect from Magic

provides a flat 85% chance for the player to dodge any Magic attack.


Reducing Prayer Point Usage

To reduce the amount of prayer points used by active prayers, players can:

  • Reduce the prayer cost (to a minimum of 1 point per prayer):
    • Prayer Skillcape halves the cost of prayers when equipped (rounded down to the nearest whole number of prayer points)
    • Priest Hat decreases the cost of prayers by 1 point when equipped
    • The Cave Maze Agility obstacle decreases the cost of prayers by 1 point when active (similarly, Cliff Balance increases the cost of prayers by at least 2 points, so ideally should not be built if minimising prayer costs)
  • Increase the chance to preserve prayer points:
    • Divine Potions provide a 10-35% chance to preserve prayer points
    • Monk-ey and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Norman
      provide a 5% and 3% chance respectively to preserve prayer points
    • The Cave Maze and Lava Waterfall Dodge Agility obstacles each provide a 10% chance to preserve prayer points

Note that the reductions from Priest Hat and the Cave Maze obstacle are applied before the cost is halved by the Prayer Skillcape, meaning that for prayers costing an odd number of prayer points there is no benefit gained unless using both the Priest Hat and Cave Maze obstacle while the Prayer Skillcape is equipped.
