Prayer Guide

Prayer
Prayer is a skill which heavily compliments combat because it allows players to boost their abilities. Prayer is able to increase your accuracy, strength or defence through various prayers, and has two separate books; Regular and Ancient Curses.

Regular Prayer
Regular Prayers are the default when it comes to Prayer. These Prayers do not have any requirement other than their respective Prayer levels, meaning that there are no quest requirements to use such prayers. Regular Prayers offer many different prayers, such as the ability to protect an extra item upon death, increased Ranged, Magic, Defence, Attack and Strength levels and protection prayers which negate most damage of a their corresponding type, Melee, Magic and Ranged.

Curses
Curses is a Prayer book which, unlike the regular Prayer book, has higher-level prayers which offer a larger variety of bonuses. Curses also require a Defence level of at least 30 to use, meaning that most pures aren't able to use them. Curses also has a Prayer to protect an extra item upon death, protection prayers and an ability "Berserker" Prayer, which keeps boosted stats elevated for 15% longer.



Efficency
Before we get into training, let's look at the best methods of doing this. Prayer is very simple to do, but if you want to maximize EXP P/H there's other things which are invovled rather than just using the bones on the gilded altar or burying them. To make this more simple, i'm going to provide the information in bullet points:


 * You can obtain Double EXP from the Wishing Well, which requires 3 notes (or 300m) to activate.
 * It is possible to also stack the double experience from the weekends with Double EXP from the Wise Old Man. To recieve double exp from the Wise Old Man simply vote if you haven't already, and get the required points to get double exp for the duration of time. 3 Voting points are required for 20 minutes of Double EXP, and 10 Voting points are required for 2 hours of Double EXP.
 * You can also donate for an extra stack of Double EXP which is x16 more EXP.

Training
Prayer is leveled by either burying bones, or by offering bones to a Gilded Altar. Offering bones to a Gilded Altar gives a much larger amount of experience than simply burying bones. Gilded Altars can only be found inside players home, and require 75 Construction to create. Different bones give different amounts of experience, and most are unique drops to a certain monster.
