Prayer Guide

Introduction

The skill we know as prayer can be very advantageous. By calling upon the Gods of Runescape, one can perform such acts as regeneration, superhuman strength and invulnerability to magic, combat and ranging. The ability to call upon these gods must be trained however, and that is the art of prayer. The higher your prayer level, the greater your advantages.

Prayer Interface

To use a prayer, open the prayer menu and a list of prayers will be shown. Click on the prayer you want to activate. If you want to turn it off again, simply click it one more time.

Prayer that you're able to use Prayer that you have the level to use.
Prayer that is in use Prayer that is in use.
Prayer that is in use Prayer that you don't have the level to use.

Each of the prayers can be turned on or off individually. When you use a prayer, you are given an advantage depending on the prayer you choose to use. However, you can only use one prayer for each category at a time. For instance you can have 'superhuman strength' (raises strength) and 'incredible reflexes' (raises attack) at the same time, but you cannot use 'improved reflexes' and 'incredible reflexes' simultaneously, since they both increase your attack.

The prayer interface gives the option to show/hide stat adjustments - a useful tool for seeing how much a specific stat (Attack, Defence, Magic, Ranged, and Strength) is being boosted or drained. The displayed figures are rounded towards 0. For example, a stat that is being boosted 10.5% will be displayed as 10% and a stat being drained -10.5% will be rounded to -10%. The displayed percentages include both prayers you are using to boost your own stats and effects other players are using on you.

As well, you can right click the prayer icon at the top right of your screen to select prayers, or groups of prayers, more effectively. Simply right click the icon, then select the prayers you wish to group. Then, you can quickly and easily turn the prayers selected on with a single click of the prayer icon.

Lumbridge Advisor If you are just starting out in Prayer you may want to pay a visit to Roddeck the Advisor in the building east of Lumbridge General Store to learn about the different kinds of bones as well as various other tips. You can also contact him by clicking the ‘?’ button just next to the logout button.

Prayers

Using prayers will slowly drain your supply of prayer points. When all of your prayer points have been drained, all active prayers will be deactivated. You will need to recharge your prayer points (at an altar, for example) before you can use prayers again. The rate at which your prayer points are drained depends on the prayers you are using, and the prayer bonus of the equipment you are wearing - please refer to our Prayer Drain Calculator for more detailed information. The prayer icon near the minimap will tell you how many prayer points you have remaining.

Prayer Books 50 Bless Symbol After completing the Horror from the Deep quest, you can use Prayer Books to bless holy or unholy symbols. Blessing a symbol drains four prayer points. (This is not in the in-game prayer menu.)
Prayer Book 50 Cure Poison After completing the Great Brain Robbery quest, reciting the prayer from this book while wearing a holy symbol will cure any poison affecting you. This also works by clicking on the lifepoints icon near the minimap and selecting "cure poison". The amount of prayer points this costs depends on the potency of the poison. (This is not in your in-game prayer menu.)
Smite 52 Smite Drains 2.5% of the damage you deal from your opponent's prayer points. Only works when fighting against players.
Chivalry 60 Chivalry Increases your defence by 20%, your strength by 18% and your attack by 15%. You must complete the King's Ransom quest and defeat the waves of knights in the Camelot training room to unlock this prayer.
Rapid Renewal 65 Rapid Renewal Restores life points at five times the normal restore rate. This prayer is unlocked by reading the scroll of renewal. This scroll costs 107,000 dungeoneering tokens.
Piety 70 Piety Increases your defence by 25%, your strength by 23% and your attack by 20%. You must complete the King's Ransom quest and defeat the waves of knights in the Camelot training room to unlock this prayer. Level 70+ Defence is required to use this prayer.
Rigour 74 Rigour Boosts your defence by 25% and your ranged by 20%. This prayer is unlocked by reading the scroll of rigour. This scroll costs 140,000 dungeoneering tokens.
Augury 77 Augury Boosts your defence by 25% and your magic by 20%. Does not increase your maximum hit. This prayer is unlocked by reading the scroll of augury. This scroll costs 153,000 dungeoneering tokens.

You can't use two prayers that boost the same skill at once. For example, if you're using a prayer that boosts magic by 15%, you cannot turn on another prayer that boosts it by 10%. Similarly, only one protection prayer can be on at a time, although you can use Protect from Summoning in conjunction with other protection prayers.

Having a high Prayer level allows you to use your prayers for longer periods of time, an advantage that is invaluable when it comes to duelling, player killing and training.

Protection Prayers

The protection prayers (Protect from Melee, Protect from Missiles, Protect from Magic and Protect from Summoning) are incredibly useful. When fighting against monsters, they will typically provide 100% protection from an attack of that type. Some NPCs, however, have the ability to hit through prayers. When fighting against other players, they will reduce the damage dealt by an attack of that type by 40%, while increasing the amount of times you block your opponent's attacks. When in use, a little icon will appear above your head. This icon is visible to other players as well.

Protection prayers can be invaluable when you are in a tight spot, or when you are training. A good training technique against high level monsters that typically do a lot of damage is to wear equipment that gives good prayer bonuses while using the Protect from Melee prayer. Your prayer points will drain quite slowly, allowing you to last a while. Bring prayer potions to extend the duration of your training session even further. Please refer to the equipment section of this guide for a list of equipment with prayer bonuses.

Curses (Members only)

Members who have completed the Temple at Senntisten quest gain access to an ancient hymnal, which unlocks the ability to use Curses. Similar to Lunar/Ancient magicks, you have to switch from normal Prayers to Curses in order to access the Curses list. You do this by praying at the altar in the Senntisten Temple (located under the digsite.) Players have reported that one feature of the Curses set of prayers is a lower drain rate.

To switch back to the normal prayer list, simply pray at any other altar. You will be asked if you would like to switch back to normal Prayers, or just recharge your Prayer points.

Praying at the Senntisten Temple altar will also boost your Prayer by 15% over your max Prayer level.

Can decrease your opponent's Special Attack Energy by up to 10%.
Wrath 89 Wrath If active, damage of up to 250% of your max Prayer will be dealt to all nearby enemies upon your death. Will not hurt other players in non-PvP areas. Will not hit multiple enemies in single-combat areas.
Soul Split 92 Soul Split If active while fighting another player, they will lose 10 Prayer points for every 50 points of damage you do, and you will gain 10 life points for every 50 points of damage you do.
Your opponent cannot protect against this Curse.
Turmoil 95 Turmoil Increases Attack/Defence by 15%, in addition to 15% of your opponent's Attack/Defence.
Also increases Strength by 23%, in addition to 10% of your opponent's Strength.

"Deflect" curses stop 100% of damage dealt by NPCs, and 40% of damage dealt by other players - similar to normal "Protect From" prayers. They also have a chance to deflect damage that would have hit (if you were not using prayer) back onto your opponent. You can only have one "Deflect" curse activated at a time, with the exception being Deflect Summoning, which can be used in conjunction with any one other Deflect curse (ex. you can have Deflect Summoning and Ranged on at once, but not Deflect Melee and Ranged). As with protection prayers, some NPCs have the ability to hit through "Deflect" curses. Also, "Deflect" curses will not damage NPCs that can only be killed in a specific way (can only be killed by a certain weapon, etc.)

You can have multiple Sap and Leech curses active at once. However, you cannot have the Sap and Leech curse of the same type active at once (i.e., you cannot have Sap Mage and Leech Magic active at the same time.)

You cannot have Soul Split, Wrath, or any Deflect curse activated at the same time. You can only have one of these curses activated at any given time. You cannot activate Turmoil and any Sap or Leech curse at the same time.

Once you activate a Sap or Leech Curse, your opponent's stat is instantly decreased by 10%. If you keep the Curse activated, this amount will gradually increase to 20% for Sap curses, and 25% for Leech Curses. Upon deactivation of the Curse, the initial 10% stat decrease will be restored to your opponent. However, any drain exceeding the initial 10% will have to slowly restore as normal. The same concept applies to your own boosted stats when using a Leech Curse.

Restoring Prayer Points

There are a few ways to recharge your prayer points when they have run out. The normal solution is simply to find an altar. Altars are found all over the map, mainly in churches.

Prayer Altar

There are several altars that give a boost above your normal maximum level when you pray at them:

  • Free to Play: The altar in the Monastery boosts your prayer +20 over your maximum Prayer points. Requires level 31 Prayer to access. This is the only F2P extra boost.
  • The altar in the Grotto of the Mort Myre Swamp boosts your prayer +20 over your maximum Prayer points. Must have completed the Nature Spirit quest.
  • The Nardah shrine from the Spirits of the Elid quest restores your normal Prayer points, and gives a temporary life points boost over your max LP.
  • The sulphur pool in Oo'glog boosts your prayer +80 over your maximum Prayer points. Must have completed As a First Resort... quest.
  • The altar in the Senntisten Temple boosts your Prayer by 15% over your maximum Prayer points. Must have completed the Temple at Senntisten quest.

Members also have several portable solutions:

Training Methods

Prayer is by far one of the hardest skill to train up. Each of the "old" skills boasted at least one level 99 before someone finally reached 99 prayer. To help you out, we've listed a few of the best places to train.

The chaos temple, in level 13 Wilderness, has 15 bone spawns and an altar as well. Green dragons in the level 13 wilderness north-west of Edgeville are good and fast experience since they are lower levels than blue dragons, and are close to a bank.

If you don't like the Wilderness, the Edgeville Dungeon Hill giants are also good. They drop Big bones, and are the best in F2P. In P2P, some good places include the Blue and Baby blue dragons in the Taverley members dungeon and the Ogres in the Blood rune chest dungeon (north-west of Ardougne). Another good choice in P2P is cremating shades in Mort'ton. You get good experience from cremating shades there, and you'll get a lot of good rewards using the chest keys, too. More information can be found in the Splitbark Armour Guide. Members have also found that the use of a Home Chapel Altar to sacrifice bones is the quickest method to level up.

Lower level members may also want to talk to the Wise Old Man of Draynor Village for experience. He gives you various tasks and for some of them, you receive prayer experience. It won't be much: a maximum of 400. But hey, it's something. Keep in mind that he won't always reward you with prayer experience; he can also give you herbs, seeds, gems and runes.

Members have an extra option to train prayer. The bonecrusher is a reward from the Dungeoneering skill. It costs 34,000 tokens to purchase and requires level 21 in both Dungeoneering and Prayer to use. When you have a bonecrusher in your inventory, it will automatically convert bones dropped by monsters and Hunter creatures into Prayer experience. For more information on Dungeoneering, please refer to our Dungeoneering Guide.

Experience

One of the methods to train prayer is to bury bones. The different types of bones are:

List Of Bones

Zogre bones (members only)

New higher experience bones were introduced for members in the Zogre Flesh Eater Quest. Kill Skogres (Skeletal Ogres) and Zogres (Zombie Ogres) to get Zogre bones and Ogre coffin keys. Use the Ogre coffin keys, or thieve the Ogre coffins (requires level 20 Thieving) to randomly get the higher level bones. The Zogre tomb map may be helpful.

Demonic Ashes

There are three different types of ashes. These can be scattered (similar to burying bones), collected in a prayer urn (which gives some bonus xp), used like bones at a home chapel altar, or used without grinding at the Ectofuntus. The table below shows the available types of ashes. Clicking on a certain type of ash will take you to a listing of demonic creatures that drop it.

Types of Ashes

Impious Ashes Impious ashes 4
Accursed Ashes Accursed ashes 12.5
Infernal Ashes Infernal ashes 62.5
Searing ashes Searing ashes 200
Return to Top

Prayer Urns

Urns collect ashes while you are fighting demonic creatures, and can be teleported away for free experience once they are filled. Ashes from higher leveled monsters fill the urn faster than those from lower leveled monsters, but the experience for teleporting the urn away is the same regardless of what fills it up.

Each urn requires a different crafting level to make and will give a different amount of experience when you fill it up and teleport it away. Before you can start filling an urn, you need to activate it with an air rune. Adding the rune requires the same crafting level as making the urn. Please view our Urns Section in the Crafting Guide for more detailed information on making urns and how many you are allowed to have.

You can check the level of your urn by right-clicking the urn in your inventory and choosing the check-level option. It will also give you a message once it is 1/4 full, 1/2 full, 3/4 full or completely full.

If you have any empty or partially filled urns in your inventory, ashes dropped by demonic creatures will automatically be stored in them. Completely filling an urn requires ashes whose total experience equals 25 of the highest level ash allowed for that size urn: 100xp for impious urn (25 impious ashes), 312.5xp to fill an accursed urn, or 1562.5xp to fill an infernal urn. Teleporting a filled urn provides 20% more XP than simply scattering those ashes.

If you have studied the barbarians methods of firemaking, you can release the spirits of fallen barbarian heroes by burning their bones on a pyre ship. Doing this will give you a 300% bonus to your prayer experience for a certain number of bones. A message will appear in your chat screen when you have the bonus applied to bones you bury.

Ectofuntus (members only)

In the area of the Ghosts Ahoy quest (completion of the quest is not required), members can train prayer at the Ectofuntus using the same method that is used to get Ecto-tokens needed for the quest. The process is very simple, though tedious due to all of the walking, but the experience gained per bone is far greater than simply burying them. The items required are Pots, Buckets, and any type of Bones (Ghostspeak amulet from the Restless Ghost quest is now optional). An Ectophial (Ghosts Ahoy quest reward) is also helpful to save some walking.

Pot Bucket BonesGhostspeak Amulet

Just to the north of Port Phasmatys (located East of Canifis past the Haunted Woods) is a tower. Located in the centre of this tower is the "Ectofuntus". Prayer experience is gained by worshipping the Ectofuntus. To do this you must have a Pot of ground bones and a Bucket of slime (ectoplasm).

  • Ground Bones
    Upstairs on the north wall is a Bone grinder. The process has recently been simplified to make it much easier. Simply click on the hopper of the bone grinder to put a bone in the bone grinder. Your character will automatically "Wind" the Grinder, and then empty the grinder to fill your empty Pot with ground bones (bone meal). Your character will also repeat this process for as many bones as you have, with no input required by you!
Prayer Bone Grinder
  • Bucket of slime (ectoplasm)
    Back on the ground floor of the tower is a trapdoor. Go down the trap door and move to the far side of the circular tunnel to the stairs. Go down the stairs. Unless you have level 58 Agility and can use the Weathered Wall shortcut, you will need to repeat this process for two more levels to reach the pool of Slime at the bottom level. Use your empty Buckets on the pool of Slime to receive a Bucket of slime (ectoplasm). Now Empty your Ectophial to return to the ground floor.
Prayer Slime Pool
  • Worshipping
    Left click on the Ectofuntus to worship it. This can be done twelve times before you have to talk to a Ghost Disciple to receive your Ecto-tokens. After doing so, continue worship.
Prayer Ectofungus Worship

Note that the Ghostspeak amulet is no longer required in order to speak with the ghosts (but you must collect your tokens if you already have 260 ectotokens worth of bones and slime into the ectofuntus in order to continue). Ectofuntus gives 4 times the experience of just burying bones. Experience values for most bones are shown below, but the formula applies to all bones.

Ectofuntus xp values
Bone EXP
Bones/Wolf bones/Burnt bones 18
Monkey bones 20
Bat bones 21.33
Big bones/Jogre bones 60
Zogre Bones 90
Babydragon bones 120
Wyvern bones 200
Dragon bones 288
Fayrg Bones 336
Raurg Bones 384
Dagannoth bones 500
Ourg Bones 560
Frost dragon bones 720

The whole process involves quite a bit of walking and so it's rather time consuming. Below is a good strategy to use to save some time. You will need to wear a Ghostspeak amulet (this is now optional) and a Ring of duelling (If just can't afford Rings of duelling then using the Ring of kinship from dungeoneering is a good alternative). Start by taking a filled Ectophial, nine Buckets, nine Pots and nine bones of your choosing.

  1. Teleport to the Ectofuntus temple by emptying your Ectophial.
  2. Grind the bones in the bone grinder.
  3. Go down to the third level to fill up your buckets with Ectoplasm.
  4. Teleport back up to the top of the temple by emptying your Ectophial.
  5. Worship the Ectofuntus nine times.
  6. Collect your Ecto-tokens from a Ghost Disciple.
  7. Operate your Ring of duelling or Ring of kinship and teleport away. Bank. Repeat

Note : You can also fill your buckets before worshipping. Say you have 50 bones. Make 2 trips with 26 buckets, ectophial and duelling/kinship ring. Fill them all at the bottom, and bank. Then just grind and worship, so you don't have to walk down every time. You can do the same with grinding, but there the difference is way smaller because of the pots needed. You can find a stock of 100 buckets in the Port Phasmatys shop!

Those who have the summoning levels required may want to use the beast of burden familiars to help carry bones such as the Bull ant, Spirit terrorbird, War tortoise, or the Pack yak.

Home Chapel Altars (members only)

Player-owned houses have brought a new concept to Prayer - the home chapel. Depending on the type of altar built and the burners used, one can earn anywhere from 100% to 350% of the experience normally obtained for burying bones. 100% means exactly the same experience as just burying. Note that the highest possible level (350%) does not exceed the 400% from the ectofuntus - however, there is no tedious bucket hauling and bone grinding. When you offer a bone at your altar, the game will now ask you how many you want to offer, so you can choose "all" or a specified amount, reducing the amount of clicking necessary.

Getting the maximum prayer out of a home altar is dependent on using incense burners. (Mahogany and marble burners give the same bonus as the basic oak incense burner.) A single lit burner boosts the experience by another 50% of the normal amount; two lit burners increase the basic altar experience by an amount equal to the normal experience (100%). The information for each altar with or without burners is included in the table below. Burners are used by carrying two marrentill and a tinderbox with you, and simply clicking the burner. (Note that a lit burner has no "Light" option.) In general, the burning marrentills give out around the time you arrive with another load of bones from the closest bank.

Home Altar exp Multipliers
Pic Altar Name No burners lit One burner lit Two burners lit
Oak 100% 150% 200%
Teak 110% 160% 210%
Cloth 125% 175% 225%

Limestone 175% 225% 275%
Marble 200% 250% 300%
Gilded 250% 300% 350%

Note that torches and candlesticks offer no bonus!

Cremation

Cremation is an ability open to both free players and members that was available from the 2014 Halloween event and can be obtained randomly whilst killing various types of ghosts. The ability allows for bones to be burned on player started fires (permanent fires do not work) and it gives 250% Prayer experience per bone and gives 200% of the experience you would have gained from burying the bones normally as Firemaking experience.

As bones are part of the Prayer skill, there are no level requirements to cremate bones and the experience reward is the same regardless of logs used to make the fire.

The only creatures in Runescape that can be slaughtered for immediate prayer experience are Ghasts, located in Mort Myre Swamp or found during the Temple Trekking / Burgh de Rott Ramble minigame.

Ghasts
Level Life Points Prayer Exp Location
30 400 LP 30 Mort Myre Swamp (requires starting Nature Spirit Quest).
79 1160 LP 80 Route 1 of Temple Trekking-Burgh de Rott Ramble minigame.
109 1260 LP 110 Route 2 of Temple Trekking-Burgh de Rott Ramble minigame.
140 1600 LP 140 Route 3 of Temple Trekking-Burgh de Rott Ramble minigame.

The Nature Spirit Quest is required to enter the Swamp and to obtain the proper equipment: the blessed Silver sickle(b) and a Druid pouch. Use the Silver sickle(b) to Cast-bloom (right-click the sickle while equipped or in inventory and select "Cast-bloom" or "Operate") while standing near rotten logs, branches or bushes in Mort Myre Swamp, causing Mort myre fungi, pears or branches to bloom. Pick up these items. Click on your Druid pouch to Fill it with these items. When a Ghast attacks you (or you attack it), one item from your Druid pouch is automatically used up to make the Ghast solid and attackable. The level 30 ghasts aren't hard to kill. The only drawback to training near these is that when your Druid pouch is empty, attacking Ghasts will quickly rot your food.

If you are escorting a band of travellers in the Temple Trekking / Burgh de Rott Ramble minigame, you may randomly meet the higher level ghasts shown in the table. Their level will depend on the route you select.

Shade Cremating (members only)

By playing the Shades of Mort'ton minigame you can earn prayer experience, although it is rather slow but you can get some rewards in the process. You must have completed the Shades of Mort'ton Quest in order to play and it will also be useful to have completed the In Aid of the Myreque Quest so you can use the Burgh de Rott bank just south of Mort'ton.

List Of Prayers
Pic Shade Name Log Required to Burn Exp. for Burning
Loar Remains Loar Any 33
Phrin Remains Phrin Oak or higher 46.5
Riyl Remains Riyl Willow or higher 59.5
Asyn Remains Asyn Yew or higher 82.5

Burning Vyrewatch Corpses (members only)

Once you have completed the Legacy of Seergaze quest, you can cremate Vyrewatch corpses in the Columbarium at the Salve Temple. You'll receive 80 prayer experience and the firemaking experience of the logs you use. (See Firemaking Guide.) You can only use teak pyre logs or better to cremate these corpses.

More information can be found on our Temple Building guide.

Members can obtain Halos from playing the Castle Wars minigame. Each halo costs 300 tickets to purchase and slows the drain rate of certain prayers. They offer no prayer stat boost, however.

Prayer books (members only)

Members can start collecting Prayer books by completing the Horror from the Deep or The Great Brain Robbery quests. Prayer books are wielded in the shield spot, and give a +5 prayer bonus. When completed, they also give stat boosts (depending on book type), allow you to bless silver symbols and to 'preach' aloud from the books.

Once you've completed the Horror from the Deep quest, you can choose between incomplete books of either Guthix, Saradomin or Zamorak. After completing at least one of these books, you can also choose between incompleted books of Armadyl, Bandos and Zaros. You can eventually collect all books, so you don't have to stay with the one you choose first. When you first get a book it will just be called "Damaged book". It only offers a +5 Prayer bonus.

You need to add four torn pages to your book to complete it. Torn pages are obtained from Treasure Trails (all clue scroll levels), by cremating Vyrewatch or by purchasing them from other players. Torn pages are uniquely named, numbered (1 through 4) and coloured to relate to a god, as shown in the table below. When you get a page matching your Damaged book, simply "use" the page on the book. It can never be removed. If you wish to see what pages your book is still missing, right-click the book and choose the "check" option.

When you have completed your first book, you can visit Jossik again at the Lighthouse to purchase another book of a different god for 5000gp. Jossik will not sell you a new book if you still own an incomplete or damaged book.

If you ever lose a book, visit Jossik. He will return it, including whatever pages it contained when you lost it.

The different completed Prayer books and their stats are listed in the table below. Additional capabilities such as Blessing, Last Rites, Preach and Wedding rites are available from the completed book; just right-click the book and select the "Preach" option. Using them drains 25% of your special attack.

You can also use some completed Prayer books to bless silver symbols (see our Crafting Guide for more information) if your Prayer level is 50 or higher. Saradomin books can be used to bless Holy symbols, Zamorak books can be used to enchant Unholy symbols and Guthix books can be used with both. Using a book in this matter costs four prayer points.

Separately, you can obtain the simply titled Prayer book during The Great Brain Robbery quest, with which you can cure any poison affecting you by reciting the prayer in this book while wearing a blessed holy symbol. The amount of prayer points this costs depends on the potency of the poison. If you only have a portion of the required prayer points, the poison will only be partially cured. The prayer does not give temporary immunity to poison.

Spirit Shields

After completing Summer's End, you are given the base form of the Spirit Shield. You are able to further improve this shield by blessing it by combining it with holy elixer(a drop from the Corporeal Beast) and using it with a Saradomin Altar(85 prayer required), gaining a Blessed Shield and 1500 prayer experience(if you don't have the 85 Prayer requirement, you can take it to Brother Jared at the Monastery, but he will charge you 1,000,000 coins to perform this service for you). You can further improve this shield by affixing Sigils to it: these are also dropped by the Corporeal Beast. There are several different sigils: these are Arcane, Divine, Elysian, and Spectral. These sigils grant better stats and/or special abilities. To attach any of the sigils you will need 90 Prayer and 85 Smithing, and doing so will grant 1800 smithing experience. To do this you should bring a Blessed Spirit Shield, a hammer, and the sigil of your choice to an anvil.

Grave Repairing and Blessing

When a player dies and loses items on death (with the exception of dying within the Corporeal Beast's Lair, during all minigames, or in PvP wilderness) a grave will appear to protect the items lost. To help this grave last longer; up to an hour at most, others must either bless or repair it as one can not bless or repair their own grave. To either bless or repair a grave, right click upon it and select the relevant option. If the time on the grave is about to run out, the "repair" option will appear. Repairing or blessing a grave will not cost any prayer points.

Gravestone Repair

If the grave is not in need of repairing, only the 'read', 'bless' and 'demolish' options appear. This occurs even after it has been blessed.

Gravestone New

Note: To repair, you must have level 2 prayer or above. Blessing requires a minimum level of 70.

Skill mastery and Beyond

Cape of Achievement

Once you have mastered the skill and reached level 99 you may want to buy a Prayer cape from brother Jerred in the Monastery west of Edgeville. If you already have another 99 skill, or obtain another one while wearing the cape (unless you have it keepsaked), it will become a Prayer cape (t).

Please refer to the Achievement Capes guide for more details.

Prayer Cape

After obtaining 99 Prayer it becomes possible to obtain a Holy shard randomly, which can be combined with other shards from the other combat skills (Attack, Constitution, Defence, Magic, Ranged, Strength, Summoning) to create a Combatant's cape and Combatant's hood. The cape has the same stats as a trimmed skill cape and the helm is purely cosmetic.

True Prayer Mastery

Achieving 99 is the ultimate goal for many players, however the skill does not stop there. For players wanting to show off their dedication to a skill it is possible to obtain "True Mastery" by obtaining "120 Prayer" which is 104,273,167 XP. The Prayer master cape can then be purchased from brother Jerred in the Monastery west of Edgeville.

Prayer master cape

It is worth noting that beyond level 99 there is no additional content for Prayer as the level increases are invisible so training the skill gets no faster. To work out your theoretical Prayer level check out our XP table.
