'''Prayer''' is a skill which allows players to gain temporary advantages in combat. It is a very slow skill to raise, as it can only be done, little by little, by burying [[RuneScape/Bones|bones]]. Prayers can be very beneficial against monsters and other players.
=Intro=


==Intro==
If you want to use a prayer, click on the prayer menu, which is to the right of the equipment menu. Prayers available for use are highlighted, while prayers you cannot use are dark. When you click on a prayer, a circle will appear around it, indicating that you are using it. Be aware that your prayer points will drop slowly. When they reach zero, the prayer will no longer be effective, and you'll have to recharge at an altar before you can pray again.

The prayers can give you great advantages over monsters and players in the wilderness. Some prayers improve your combat skills, while others can protect you, or even damage your opponents. The prayer level is raised by burying bones. As you gain prayer experience, you can use more and better prayers. Your prayers will also last longer.

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.

In prayer, there is only one bonus. The "prayer bonus" makes your prayer points drop slower, so that you can pray for a longer time.

The Protect prayers are useless against certain high level monsters and quest monsters, which are resistant to prayer. Remember also that other players can still hurt you, even though the damage is reduced by half.

=Ectofuntus=
 
Members can worship the ''Ectofuntus'' to gain 4 times the experience they would get from just burying a bone. It is located in far northeast Morytania just north of Port Phasmatys. The process of worshipping is much more efficient if the [[RuneScape/Quests/Ghosts Ahoy|Ghosts Ahoy]] quest has been completed. Players can go down a trapdoor and several flights of stairs (at 58 agility several shortcuts can be used) to reach a giant pool of ectoslime. Buckets can be used on the pool to collect the slime. One bucket of slime is needed for every worship done. Besides the bucket, the player also has to go upstairs to the "bone grinder" and put their collected bones in there. Several clicks on the machine are needed to process the bones, after which players can collect the bone dust with a pot. Players may worship the ectofuntus using one pot of ground bones and one bucket of slime, after which they can talk to the local ghost disciplines (using a ghostspeak amulet), to gain ectotokens. Because this is such a tedious process, the Ectofuntus is generally used for high level bones such as dragon or baby dragon bones, in which case the player gains substantially more experience.

==Recharging==
 
The prayer points can be recharged to maximum by praying at altars. Altars can be found in churches all across RuneScape, even in the wilderness. The altar on the second floor of the Monastery will add two extra points when you recharge your prayer. The altar in the member quest [[RuneScape/Nature Spirit|Nature Spirit]] also does this.

Prayer potions (also known as "prayer pots" or "pray pots") can 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, you can make prayer potions. Super restore potions also restore some prayer besides normal stats.

==Prayer Books==
 
Members can get Prayer books by completing the quest [[RuneScape/Horror from the Deep|Horror from the Deep]]. If you wield them, they take up your shield slot. There are three prayer books, each based on a RuneScape god. Each prayer book gives a +5 prayer bonus, as well as other bonuses.

The 3 books are:


;The 3 books are:
*Book of Balance (Guthix)
*Book of Balance (Guthix)
*Holy Book (Saradomin)
*Holy Book (Saradomin)
*Unholy Book (Zamorak)
*Unholy Book (Zamorak)


When you first buy them, they will be called a "damaged book". Each book has four pages. The pages can only be obtained from Treasure Trails or purchased from other players. Red pages are Zamorak (250k-300k market value), green pages are Guthix (around 80k market value), and white pages are Saradomin (150k-200k market value). When you've gotten all four pages, use them with the damaged book and they will become a prayer book. You can do some things with them, such as say a prayer or bless symbols (you need a prayer level of 50 to do this though). Below is a table with each book's info.
