'''Prayer''' unlocks protection prayers and combat boosts. Aim for '''43 Prayer''' early to unlock all three protection prayers, then choose later goals for your combat style. Collect bones while training [[Slayer]] or use Sarim Hub's '''Drops''' search to find a source for the bone you want.

== Start training ==
# Bring unnoted bones and choose '''Bury''' to train anywhere. Demonic ashes use '''Scatter''' and give their own Prayer XP.
# For more XP per bone, use bones on an altar. A player-owned house chapel is a safe option; the Wilderness Chaos Altar also has a chance to preserve each bone.
# Use [[XP rates]] when comparing training on your difficulty. The table below shows base XP before your account's XP modifiers.

Praying at an altar restores Prayer points. Offering bones trains the skill; simply restoring points does not.

{| class="wikitable"
! Bone !! Base bury XP !! XP with a 3.5× altar
|-
| Regular bones || 4.5 || 15.75
|-
| Big bones || 15 || 52.5
|-
| Baby dragon bones || 30 || 105
|-
| Dragon or wyvern bones || 72 || 252
|-
| Wyrm bones || 50 || 175

|}

Ashes give base XP of '''5''' for fiendish, '''12.5''' for vile, '''32.5''' for malicious, '''42.5''' for abyssal and '''55''' for infernal ashes. The bone altar multipliers in this guide do not apply to scattering ashes.

== Player-owned house chapel ==
A chapel requires '''45 Construction'''. Its altar's starting multiplier depends on the furniture: an oak altar gives '''1×''', rising to '''2.5×''' for a gilded altar. A gilded altar requires '''75 Construction''' to build.

Build incense burners in the chapel before trying to light them. A basic incense burner requires '''61 Construction, 4 oak planks and 2 steel bars'''; ordinary chapel torches and lamps do not add this bonus. Each lit incense burner adds another '''0.5×'''. A gilded altar with both burners lit therefore gives '''3.5×''' bone XP. Bring a '''tinderbox and clean marrentill''' to light burners; each lighting consumes one marrentill. Re-light burners when they go out, then use unnoted bones on the altar.

You can use a friend's house if its owner is online, inside their house, out of building mode and has left the house unlocked. See [[Construction]] for buying a house and entering it.

== Wilderness Chaos Altar ==
Choose '''Chaos Altar (Bones)''' in [[Teleports Menu|Sarim Hub]]. This destination is in '''level 40+ Wilderness'''. Carry a small, replaceable batch and read [[Death]] before taking valuable supplies.

Use unnoted bones on the altar to start offering them. It gives '''3.5× base bone XP''' and has a '''50% chance to preserve a bone''' after an offering. A preserved bone can be offered again. This is a chance on each offering, so the number of offerings from a trip varies.

The Elder Chaos Druid exchanges noted bones for unnoted bones for '''3,000 coins per bone'''. Use the noted bones on him, choose an amount and leave room for the unnoted bones. Budget for the coin stack as well as the bones you risk.

Directly offering noted bones has a separate donor eligibility requirement. For the general route, use unnoted bones or the druid's exchange. The 50% preservation effect applies in the Wilderness and the supported donator-zone altar; a safe altar using the same appearance elsewhere does not automatically preserve bones.

== Useful Prayer goals ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Prayer !! Level !! Additional requirement
|-
| Protect from Magic || 37 || —
|-
| Protect from Missiles || 40 || —
|-
| Protect from Melee || 43 || —
|-
| Eagle Eye || 44 || —
|-
| Mystic Might || 45 || —
|-
| Chivalry || 60 || 65 Defence
|-
| Piety || 70 || 70 Defence
|-
| Rigour || 74 || 70 Defence and learned from a dexterous prayer scroll
|-
| Augury || 77 || 70 Defence and learned from an arcane prayer scroll
|}

Use '''Read''' on the relevant prayer scroll and confirm learning it. The scroll is consumed when the prayer is learned; reaching the Prayer level alone does not unlock Rigour or Augury. [[Chambers of Xeric]] is a source for these scrolls.
