'''Prayer''' is a skill which allows players to bury bones dropped by monsters. It is a very slow skill to raise, as bones do not give high exp, but can be very beneficial against monsters and other players. | |||

=Intro= | |||
If you want to use a prayer spell, click on the prayer menu, which is to the right of the equipment menu. This menu show you what prayers you can use. Prayers avialable for use are highlighted, while prayers you cannot use are dark. When you click on a prayer, a circle will appear around it, showing you that you are using it. However, using prayer lowers your prayer level. So say your prayer level is 5. You select "Thick Skin" in the prayer menu. If you watch your prayer level in the skill menu, you will see it slowly drop down. | |||
You need certain levels to use different prayer spells. Prayer can be used to help you. It can give you a great advantage over monsters and players in the wilderness, however using prayer on other players many consider "noobish", or stupid. Many players insult players using prayer because they see it as cheating or giving you an advantage over them. | |||
=Prayer Bonus= | |||
If you click on the menu to the right of the inventory menu, you'll see what you have equipped. If you look at the bottom of this menu, there will a small black box with the words "Attack Bonus" and "Defence Bonus" in yellow, and more words in gray underneath with plus signs and negatives. These are known as "bonuses" and help you fight. | If you click on the menu to the right of the inventory menu, you'll see what you have equipped.

A prayer bonus affects the rate your prayer level drops, because when you use a prayer spell, your prayer level will drop. Having a high prayer bonus makes your prayer level drop slower, which is very good if you want to use prayer for a long time. | ||

Also, the Protect spells will only reduce damage by other players by half. But if you are fighting monsters, they will not even hurt you. However, some high levelled monsters and quest monsters are resistan to prayer and will still hurt you with it on. | |||

=Recharging= | |||
There are a number of things that can be used to recharge your prayer if it depletes to 0. One way is to pray at altars. | |||
Altars are all over RuneScape. There are even some in the wilderness. Altars are used to recharge your prayer level. Altars can be found in churches all across RuneScape. In the Monastery, on the second floor, is an altar that will recharge your prayer points plus add another 2 on. The altar in the member quest [[RuneScape/Quests/Nature Spirit|Nature Spirit]] also does this. | |||
Prayer potions (also known as "prayer pots" or "pray pots") can also be used if you're a member. They restore just under 40% of your prayer level. If your [[RuneScape/Skills/Herblore|herblore]] level is 38, then you can make prayer pots provided you have the materials needed. | |||
Free players can only use altars to recharge their prayer level. | |||

Members can get Prayer books by completing the quest [[RuneScape/Quests/Horror from the Deep|Horror from the Deep]]. You can wield them, and they will take up your shield slot. There are 3 prayer books, each based on the RuneScape gods. Each prayer book gives a +5 prayer bonus, as well as other bonuses. | |||
