Introduction
Prayer is a secondary combat skill in which you can call on the gods of runescape to give yourself powers you normally would not have. As your prayer skill grows higher, you will be able to perform much stronger prayers. The higher prayer you have the longer your prayers will last. Prayer can be leveled by burying various types of bones or completing certain quests.

Prayer List
There are many different types of prayers. Below is a table of each prayer and the effect it has when you use it. When using prayers, your prayer points will diminish. When you run out of prayer points you will have to visit an alter to recharge them. If you have members, you can also drink prayer pots.

What To Kill
Now that you know a little bit about the bones, here are some guidelines that may help you decide how to level your prayer.

Where to get Bones
Now you know the basics or prayer, but you may be asking yourself where can I get some of these bones to bury? Well, you could always buy the bones, but that could really put a hole in your bank. Dragon bones sell for about 3000gp each. Big bones go for about 500gp each. The cheapest way to raise prayer is to just kill monsters for the bones and bury them. If the text is red, it means the monster is in a members only area.

Boneyard


North from Varrock in level 26 and level 27 wilderness is a boneyard. If your combat level is high enough to survive between the agressive level 22 skeletons, and you don't fear the wilderness (there are rarely people over there), this is a great place to gain fast prayer experience. Bring 3, or if you have over 25 prayer 4, valuable armor items (helmet, platebody, plated legs and kite), some food (10-15 lobbies should be more then enough if you have over 40 defence) to be able to stay there almost forever. Just burry the big bones, which respawn real fast. src="images/maps/bone yard.jpg" />
