Prayer training

Prayer is one of the 18 skills in RuneScape Classic. Visit the Prayer article for more information about this skill.

There is not much of a market for bones in RuneScape Classic (although you can occasionally buy dragon bone certs), so to train prayer you will either have to kill monsters yourself, bury bones that respawn on the ground, or bury bones left behind by other players. As the market for bones is minimal, dragon bone certs are usually extremely expensive and in great demand.

Burying bones left behind by other players

This is NOT a reliable method, and can only really be depended on at all shortly after a server reopening, when you will usually find players killing chickens, goblins and cows around Lumbridge. They will often leave behind bones which you can pick up and bury for 3.75xp each.

Burying bones that respawn on the ground

There are some big bones and multiple regular bones respawns in the Bone Yard in the Wilderness, east of the ruins. However, beware that there are aggressive skeletons in the area and you may also be attacked by other players.

Burying bones of monsters you kill

This is the normal method for prayer training on RuneScape Classic. What you kill depends on your combat level.

Low combat

Low level players may want to bury normal bones that are equal to 3.75 xp when buried:

• Chicken at various locations around RuneScape.
• Cows in the field east of Lumbridge
• Gnome troops in the battle field

Really anything that you can kill fast and has a large number. If you can kill things that drop big bones move onto them and skip these.

Medium combat

These drop big bones that yield 12.5 xp each:

• Giants - Viable method for long-term prayer training
• Moss giants
• Jogres

High Combat

High level players may want to kill dragons that drop Dragon Bones. Each bones give 60 xp each.

• Blue dragons - Most self-sufficiently efficient method to 99 prayer
• Red Dragons
• Black dragons

Buying Dragonbone Certificates

Wealthy players may buy Dragon Bone Certificates and bury them by Sidney Smith the certer in Yanille. There are beds upstairs for quick fatigue recovery.

Burying certed dragon bones yields (100k ± 10k) prayer experience per hour
