Prayer Guide

Introduction

The skill we know as prayer can be very advantageous. By calling upon the Gods of Runescape, one can perform such acts as regeneration, superhuman strength and invulnerability to magic, combat and ranging. The ability to call upon these gods must be trained however, and that is the art of prayer. The higher your prayer level, the greater your advantages.

To use a prayer, open the prayer menu and a list of prayers will be shown. Click on the prayer you want to activate. If you want to turn it off again, simply click it one more time.

	Prayer that you have the level to use.
	Prayer that is in use.
	Prayer that you don't have the level to use.

Each of the prayers can be turned on or off individually. When you use a prayer, you are given an advantage depending on the prayer you choose to use. However, you can only use one prayer for each category at a time. For instance you can have 'superhuman strength' (raises strength) and 'incredible reflexes' (raises attack) at the same time, but you cannot use 'improved reflexes' and 'incredible reflexes' simultaneously, since they both increase your attack.

The prayer interface gives the option to show/hide stat adjustments - a useful tool for seeing how much a specific stat (Attack, Defence, Magic, Ranged, and Strength) is being boosted or drained. The displayed figures are rounded towards 0. For example, a stat that is being boosted 10.5% will be displayed as 10% and a stat being drained -10.5% will be rounded to -10%. The displayed percentages include both prayers you are using to boost your own stats and effects other players are using on you.

As well, you can right click the prayer icon at the top right of your screen to select prayers, or groups of prayers, more effectively. Simply right click the icon, then select the prayers you wish to group. Then, you can quickly and easily turn the prayers selected on with a single click of the prayer icon.

If you are just starting out in Prayer you may want to pay a visit to Roddeck the Advisor in the building east of Lumbridge General Store to learn about the different kinds of bones as well as various other tips. You can also contact him by clicking the ‘?’ button just next to the logout button.

Prayers

When using a prayer, your prayer level will slowly drain. When your prayer is drained to zero, all prayers will be deactivated and you will need to recharge at an altar (or use a potion) to use another prayer. The rate at which it drains depends on the prayer, and the equipment you are wearing. You can view approximately how many prayer points you have remaining by glancing at the level of your prayer icon; it will drain when prayers are in use.

	50	Cure Poison	After completing The Great Brain Robbery Quest, reciting the prayer from this book while wearing a Holy Symbol will cure any poison affecting you for up to 2 prayer points. (This is not in your in-game prayer menu.)
	52	Smite	2.5% of the damage dealt is drained from your opponent's prayer.
	60	Chivalry	After you complete the King's Ransom quest and defeated the waves of knights in the Camelot training room, this will add 20% to your defence, 18% to your strength and 15% to your attack skills
	65	Rapid Renewal	Unlocked for 130k tokens from Dungeoneering and requires level 65 Dungeoneering. Restores life points at 5 times the normal restore rate.

	74	Rigour	Unlocked for 140k tokens from Dungeoneering and requires level 74 Dungeoneering. Boosts ranged skill by 20% and defence by 25%.
	77	Augury	Unlocked for 190k tokens from Dungeoneering and requires level 77 Dungeoneering. Boosts magical attacks by 20% and magical defence by 25%.

The magic boosting prayers affect accuracy only, not max hit due to the spell damage limit.

Note that skill boosting prayers cannot be stacked; if you have a prayer that boosts magic by 15%, you cannot also turn on a prayer to boost it by 10%. Similarly, only one Protect prayer can be on at a time with the addition of the Summoning Protect prayer.

Higher prayer gives the advantage of being able to use prayers for longer periods of time, an advantage that is invaluable when it comes to duelling, player killing and training.

Protection Prayers

The 4 protection prayers (Protect from Melee, Protect from Missiles, Protect from Magic and Protect from Summoning) are very important. They provide 100% protection (except Protect from Summoning which only reduces the damage) from an attack of that type by a monster. When in use, a little icon will appear above your head.

These prayers can be invaluable when you are in a tight spot, or when you are training. A good training technique against high level monsters that typically do a lot of damage is to wield equipment that gives excellent prayer bonuses such as a mace, Monk's robes and a Holy symbol, and use Protect against melee. Your prayer will drain quite slowly and last a while. Bring prayer potions to keep your prayer from draining totally.

However, when in player vs player combat, the protection prayers work differently. Instead of 100% protection, they protect you 40%, while raising the amount of times you block your opponent's attack. They are a great advantage, and can save your life in tight spots.

Curses (Members only)

Members who have completed the Temple at Senntisten quest gain access to an ancient hymnal, which unlocks the ability to use Curses. Similar to Lunar/Ancient magicks, you have to switch from normal Prayers to Curses in order to access the Curses list. You do this by praying at the altar in the Senntisten Temple (located under the digsite.) Players have reported that one feature of the Curses set of prayers is a lower drain rate.

To switch back to the normal prayer list, simply pray at any other altar. You will be asked if you would like to switch back to normal Prayers, or just recharge your Prayer points.

Praying at the Senntisten Temple altar will also boost your Prayer by 15% over your max Prayer level.

List Of Curses
Pic	Level	Name	Description
	50	Protect Item	Keep 1 extra item if you die
	50	Sap Warrior	Decreases opponent's Attack, Strength and Defence by 10%. Gradually increases to 20%.
	52	Sap Ranger	Decreases opponent's Ranged and Defence by 10%. Gradually increases to 20%.
	54	Sap Mage	Decreases opponent's Magic and Defence by 10%. Gradually increases to 20%.
	56	Sap Spirit	Drains opponent's Special Attack energy bar.
	59	Berserker	All boosted combat stats stay boosted for 15% longer.
	62	Deflect Summoning	Deflects any damage caused by opponent's Summoning familiar/scrolls.
	65	Deflect Magic	Protection from magical attacks. Has a chance to deflect damage back onto your opponent.
	68	Deflect Missiles	Protection from ranged attacks. Has a chance to deflect damage back onto your opponent
	71	Deflect Melee	Protection from close attacks. Has a chance to deflect damage back onto your opponent
	74	Leech Attack	Increases Attack by 5%, gradually increasing to 10%. Drains opponent's Attack by 10%, gradually increasing to 25%.
	76	Leech Ranged	Increases Ranged by 5%, gradually increasing to 10%. Drains opponent's Ranged by 10%, gradually increasing to 25%.
	78	Leech Magic	Increases Magic by 5%, gradually increasing to 10%. Drains opponent's Magic by 10%, gradually increasing to 25%.
	80	Leech Defence	Increases Defence by 5%, gradually increasing to 10%. Drains opponent's Defence by 10%, gradually increasing to 25%.
	82	Leech Strength	Increases Strength by 5%, gradually increasing to 10%. Drains opponent's Strength by 10%, gradually increasing to 25%.
	84	Leech Energy	Boosts your Run energy. Can decrease your opponent's Run energy by up to 10%.
	86	Leech Special Attack	Boosts your Special Attack Energy. Can decrease your opponent's Special Attack Energy by up to 10%.
	89	Wrath	If active, damage of up to 250% of your max Prayer will be dealt to all nearby enemies upon your death. Will not hurt other players in non-PvP areas. Will not hit multiple enemies in single-combat areas.
	92	Soul Split	If active while fighting another player, they will lose 1 Prayer point for every 50 points of damage you do, and you will gain 10 life points for every 50 points of damage you do. Your opponent cannot protect against this Curse.
	95	Turmoil	Increases Attack/Defence by 15%, in addition to 15% of your opponent's Attack/Defence. Also increases Strength by 23%, in addition to 10% of your opponent's Strength.

"Deflect" curses stop 100% of damage dealt by NPCs, and 40% of damage dealt by other players - similar to normal "Protect From" prayers. They also have a chance to deflect damage that would have hit (if you were not using prayer) back onto your opponent. You can only have one "Deflect" curse activated at a time, with the exception being Deflect Summoning, which can be used in conjunction with any one other Deflect curse (ex. you can have Deflect Summoning and Ranged on at once, but not Deflect Melee and Ranged). Also, "Deflect" curses will not damage NPCs that can only be killed in a specific way (can only be killed by a certain weapon, etc.)

You can have multiple Sap and Leech curses active at once. However, you cannot have the Sap and Leech curse of the same type active at once (i.e., you cannot have Sap Mage and Leech Magic active at the same time.)

You cannot have Soul Split, Wrath, or any Deflect curse activated at the same time. You can only have one of these curses activated at any given time. You cannot activate Turmoil and any Sap or Leech curse at the same time.

Once you activate a Sap or Leech Curse, your opponent's stat is instantly decreased by 10%. If you keep the Curse activated, this amount will gradually increase to 20% for Sap curses, and 25% for Leech Curses. Upon deactivation of the Curse, the initial 10% stat decrease will be restored to your opponent. However, any drain exceeding the initial 10% will have to slowly restore as normal. The same concept applies to your own boosted stats when using a Leech Curse.

Restoring Prayer Points

There are a few ways to recharge your prayer points when they have run out. The normal solution is simply to find an altar. Altars are found all over the map, mainly in churches.

There are several altars that give a boost above your normal maximum level when you pray at them:

• Free to Play: The altar in the Monastery boosts your prayer +2 over your maximum Prayer level. Requires level 31 Prayer to access. This is the only F2P extra boost.
• The altar in the Grotto of the Mort Myre Swamp boosts your prayer +2 over your maximum Prayer level. Must have completed the Nature Spirit quest.
• The Nardah shrine from the Spirits of the Elid quest restores your normal Prayer points, and gives a temporary life points boost over your max LP.
• The sulphur pool in Oo'glog boosts your prayer +8 over your maximum Prayer level. Must have completed As a First Resort... quest.
• The altar in the Senntisten Temple boosts your Prayer by 15% over your maximum Prayer level. Must have completed the Temple at Senntisten quest.

Members also have several portable solutions:

Pic	Name	Where Found	Effect
	Jangerberries	Ogre Island just west of Yanille. You will need a rope to swing across (level 10 Agility) unless you use the Telekinetic Grab spell. Can also be grown using Farming Skill.	Restores 1 Prayer point and heals 20 LP as well as other effects.
	Prayer Potion	Player made using Herblore.	Restores 7-31 prayer points (7-33 if carrying a Holy Wrench, reward from the Rum Deal quest)
	Super Stat Restore Potion	Player made using Herblore.	Restores 8-32 points on all stats except life points.
	Zamorak brew	Player made using Herblore.	2-13 Strength boost 2-21 Attack boost 1-9 Prayer boost 2-11 Defence loss 20-110 life points loss
	Haunted Woods Torches	In the Haunted Woods in Morytania, burn bark (from special Hollow trees) on the torch. A tinderbox and Level 47 Firemaking is required.	Restores 10 prayer points
	Super prayer	Player made using Herblore. Cannot be traded.	Restores 7-41 prayer points
	Penance set	Wear a full Penance set (gloves, boots, torso, skirt, and one of the Penance hats) from the Barbarian Assault Activity. Cannot be traded.	Restores 3 prayer points per minute.

Training Methods

Prayer is by far the hardest skill to train up. Each of the "old" skills boasted at least one level 99 before someone finally reached 99 prayer. To help you out, we've listed a few of the best places to train.

The chaos temple, in level 13 Wilderness, has 15 bone spawns and an altar as well. Green dragons in the level 13 wilderness northwest of Edgeville are good and fast experience since they are lower levels than blue dragons, and are close to a bank.

If you don't like the Wilderness, the Edgeville Dungeon Hill giants are also good. They drop Big bones, and are the best in F2P. In P2P, some good places include the Blue and Baby blue dragons in the Taverly members dungeon and the Ogres in the Blood rune chest dungeon (northwest of Ardougne). Another good choice in P2P is cremating shades in Mort'ton. You get good experience from cremating shades there, and you'll get a lot of good rewards using the chest keys, too. More information can be found in the Splitbark Armour Guide. Members have also found that the use of a Home Chapel Altar
to sacrifice bones is the quickest method to level up.

Lower level members may also want to talk to the Wise Old Man of Draynor Village for experience. He gives you various tasks and for some of them, you receive prayer experience. It won't be much: a maximum of 400. But hey, it's something. Keep in mind that he won't always reward you with prayer experience; he can also give you herbs, seeds, gems and runes.

Experience

To train prayer, all you have to do is bury bones. Formerly, you would be attacked by a Shade or Zombie about every 50 bones. However, Leo the Gravedigger has been added, and random events have become more ... random. The different types of bones are:

List Of Bones
Pic	Exp.	Name	Dropped by
	4.5	Bones	Dropped by most NPC's.
	4.5	Wolf Bones	Dropped by Wolves.
	4.5	Burnt Bones	Found in the wilderness near the Greater demons.
	5	Monkey Bones (Members)	Dropped by zombie monkeys.
	5	Monkey Bones	Dropped by monkeys.
	5.33	Bat Bones (Members)	Dropped by giant bats.
	15	Big Bones/Jogre Bones	Dropped by ogres, jogres and all giants.
	15	Curved Bone (Members)	Occasional drop from monsters who drop big bones RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT BURY See note at end of table.
	15	Long Bone (Members)	Occasional drop from monsters who drop big bones RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT BURY See note at end of table.
	18	Monkey Bones (Members)	Dropped by the non-bearded Monkey Guards on Ape Atoll.
	20	Monkey Bones (Members)	Dropped by the bearded Monkey Guards on Ape Atoll.
	30	Baby Dragon Bones (Members)	Dropped by Baby (blue, red or black) Dragons.
	50	Skeletal Wyvern Bones (Members)	Dropped by Skeletal Wyverns in the Ice Caves.
	72	Dragon Bones (Members)	Dropped by all dragons.
	125	Dagannoth Bones (Members)	Dropped by the Dagannoth kings in the Waterbirth Island dungeons.
	140	Ourg Bones (Members)	Dropped by General Graardor in the God Wars Dungeon.
	180	Frost Dragon Bones (Members)	Dropped by Frost Dragons found in the level 85 Dungeoneering Ice Caves Resource Dungeon.

Note: The curved and long bones can be traded in for both gold coins and construction experience in Dorgesh-Kaan after completing the Death to the Dorgeshuun quest. The prayer experience is nothing in comparison to these rewards.

Zogre bones (members only)

New higher experience bones were introduced for members in the Zogre Flesh Eater Quest. Kill Skogres (Skeletal Ogres) and Zogres (Zombie Ogres) to get Zogre bones and Ogre coffin keys. Use the Ogre coffin keys, or thieve the Ogre coffins (requires level 20 Thieving) to randomly get the higher level bones. The Zogre tomb map may be helpful.

	140	Ourg Bones	Thieve Ogre coffins.

As with normal bones you can use them to worship at the Ectofuntus or with a Home Chapel Altar to earn tons of experience!

Pyre Ship Bonus Experience (members only)

If you have studied the barbarians methods of firemaking, you can release the spirits of fallen barbarian heroes by burning their bones on a pyre ship. Doing this will give you a 300% bonus to your prayer experience for a certain number of bones. A message will appear in your chat screen when you have the bonus applied to bones you bury.

Ecto-tokens (members only)

In the area of the Ghosts Ahoy quest (completion of the quest is not required), members can train prayer at the Ectofunctus using the same method that is used to get Ecto-tokens needed for the quest. The process is very simple, though tedious due to all of the walking, but the experience gained per bone is far greater than simply burying them. The items required are Pots, Buckets, and any type of Bones (Ghostspeak amulet from the Restless Ghost quest is now optional). An Ectophial (Ghosts Ahoy quest reward) is also helpful to save some walking.

Just to the north of Port Phasmatys (located East of Canifis past the Haunted Woods) is a tower. Located in the centre of this tower is the "Ectofuntus". Prayer experience is gained by worshipping the Ectofuntus. To do this you must have a Pot of ground bones and a Bucket of slime (ectoplasm).

• Ground Bones
  Upstairs on the north wall is a Bone grinder. The process has recently been simplified to make it much easier. Simply click on the hopper of the bone grinder to put a bone in the bone grinder. Your character will automatically "Wind" the Grinder, and then empty the grinder to fill your empty Pot with ground bones (bone meal). Your character will also repeat this process for as many bones as you have, with no input required by you!

• Bucket of slime (ectoplasm)
  Back on the ground floor of the tower is a trapdoor. Go down the trap door and move to the far side of the circular tunnel to the stairs. Go down the stairs. Unless you have level 58 Agility and can use the Weathered Wall shortcut, you will need to repeat this process for two more levels to reach the pool of Slime at the bottom level. Use your empty Buckets on the pool of Slime to receive a Bucket of slime (ectoplasm). Now Empty your Ectophial to return to the ground floor.

• Worshipping
  Left click on the Ectofuntus to worship it. This can be done twelve times before you have to talk to a Ghost Disciple to receive your Ecto-tokens. After doing so, continue worship.

Note that the Ghostspeak amulet is no longer required in order to speak with the ghosts (but you must collect your tokens if you already have 260 ectotokens worth of bones and slime into the ectofunctus in order to continue). Ectofuntus gives 4 times the experience of just burying bones. Experience values for most bones are shown below, but the formula applies to all bones.

The whole process involves quite a bit of walking and so it's rather time consuming. Below is a good strategy to use to save some time. You will need to wear a Ghostspeak amulet (this is now optional) and a Ring of duelling (enchanted emerald). Start by taking a filled Ectophial, nine Buckets, nine Pots and nine bones of your choosing.

1. Teleport to the Ectofuntus temple by emptying your Ectophial.
2. Grind the bones in the bone grinder.
3. Go down to the third level to fill up your buckets with Ectoplasm.
4. Teleport back up to the top of the temple by emptying your Ectophial.
5. Worship the Ectofuntus nine times.
6. Collect your Ecto-tokens from a Ghost Disciple.
7. Operate your Ring of duelling and teleport to the Castle Wars arena. Bank. Repeat

Note : You can also fill your buckets before worshipping. Say you have 50 bones. Make 2 trips with 26 buckets, ectophial and duelling ring. Fill them all at the bottom, and bank. Then just grind and worship, so you don't have to walk down every time. You can do the same with grinding, but there the difference is way smaller because of the pots needed. You can find a stock of 100 buckets in the Port Phasmatys shop!

Home Chapel Altars (members only)

Player-owned houses have brought a new concept to Prayer - the home chapel. Depending on the type of altar built and the burners used, one can earn anywhere from 100% to 350% of the experience normally obtained for burying bones. 100% means exactly the same experience as just burying. Note that the highest possible level (350%) does not exceed the 400% from the ectofuntus - however, there is no tedious bucket hauling and bone grinding. When you offer a bone at your altar, the game will now ask you how many you want to offer, so you can choose "all" or a specified amount, reducing the amount of clicking necessary.

Getting the maximum prayer out of a home altar is dependent on using incense burners. (Mahogany and marble burners give the same bonus as the basic oak incense burner.) A single lit burner boosts the experience by another 50% of the normal amount; two lit burners increase the basic altar experience by an amount equal to the normal experience (100%). The information for each altar with or without burners is included in the table below. Burners are used by carrying two marrentill and a tinderbox with you, and simply clicking the burner. (Note that a lit burner has no "Light" option.) Then right click each bone and use it on the altar. Be careful not to bury them accidentally! In general, the burning marrentills give out around the time you arrive with another load of bones from the closest bank.

Home Altar exp Multipliers
Pic	Altar Name	No burners lit	One burner lit	Two burners lit
	Oak	100%	150%	200%
	Teak	110%	160%	210%
	Cloth	125%	175%	225%
	Mahogany	150%	200%	250%
	Limestone	175%	225%	275%
	Marble	200%	250%	300%
	Gilded	250%	300%	350%

Note that torches and candlesticks offer no bonus!

Ghasts (members only)

The only creatures in Runescape that can be slaughtered for immediate prayer experience are Ghasts, located in Mort Myre Swamp or found during the Temple Trekking-Burgh de Rott Ramble Activity.

The Nature Spirit Quest is required to enter the Swamp and to obtain the proper equipment: the blessed Silver sickle(b) and a Druid pouch. Use the Silver sickle(b) to Cast-bloom (right-click the sickle while equipped or in inventory and select "Cast-bloom" or "Operate") while standing near rotten logs, branches or bushes in Mort Myre Swamp, causing Mort myre fungi, pears or branches to bloom. Pick up these items. Click on your Druid pouch to Fill it with these items. When a Ghast attacks you (or you attack it), one item from your Druid pouch is automatically used up to make the Ghast solid and attackable. The level 30 ghasts aren't hard to kill. The only drawback to training near these is that when your Druid pouch is empty, attacking Ghasts will quickly rot your food.

If you are escorting a band of travellers in the Temple Trekking-Burgh de Rott Ramble Activity, you may randomly meet the higher level ghasts shown in the table. Their level will depend on the route you select.

Shade Cremating (members only)

By playing the Shades of Mort'ton (Splitbark Armour) Activity you can earn prayer experience, although it is rather slow but you can get some rewards in the process. You must have completed the Shades of Mort'ton Quest in order to play and it will also be useful to have completed the In Aid of the Myreque Quest so you can use the Burgh de Rott bank just south of Mort'ton.

Burning Vyrewatch Corpses (members only)

Once you have completed the Legacy of Seergaze quest, you can cremate Vyrewatch corpses in the Columbarium at the Salve Temple. You'll receive 80 prayer experience and the firemaking experience of the logs you use. (See Firemaking Guide.) You can only use teak pyre logs or better to cremate these corpses.

More information can be found on our Temple Building guide.

Prayer books (members only)

Members can start collecting Prayer books by completing the Horror from the Deep or The Great Brain Robbery quests. Once you've completed the Horror from the Deep quest, you can choose between Saradomin, Guthix and Zamorak. Of course you can eventually get all three books, so you won't have to stay with the one you choose first. When you first get the book it will just be called 'Damaged book'. When wielded (in the shield spot) it offers a +5 Prayer bonus.

You need to add 4 torn pages to your book to complete it. The pages are obtained from Treasure trails or by purchasing them from other players. You can get Torn Pages from all four levels of Treasure Trails clue scrolls. Torn Pages are uniquely named, numbered (1 through 4) and coloured to relate to a god (Guthix, Saradomin, Zamorak, Armadyl, Ancient and Bandos ). Look below to see which colours the different Gods have. When you get a page matching your book, just Use it on your Damaged book. If you wish to see which pages you're still missing, you can simply right click on your book, and choose 'check'.

When you've completed your first book (all four pages of the related god), you can go to Jossik at the first floor of the lighthouse north of the Barbarian Outpost and get another book of a different God. You need to have your first book completed though; he won't offer to sell you a new one unless you have the other(s) completed. A new book will cost you 5000 gp.

If you ever lose your book, visit Jossik. He will return it to you, with whatever pages it contained when you lost it.

A completed Prayer book containing all four torn pages has a different name: Book of balance (Guthix), Holy book (Saradomin), or Unholy book (Zamorak). It has Attack or Defence powers (see table below). Additional capabilities such as Preach, Blessing, Last Rites, and Wedding rites are available; using these temporarily drains your special attack. To use these you can either right-click the book in your inventory and select the "Preach" option, or you can right-click the book while it is equipped and select the "Operate" option. You can also use completed Prayer Books to bless silver symbols (see our Crafting Guide for more information) if your Prayer is level 50 or more. Guthix and Saradomin Prayer books can enchant Holy Symbols. Guthix and Zamorak Prayer books can enchant Unholy Symbols. Just 'Use' the book on the related (strung) symbol. This costs 4 Prayer each time; prayer restoration (through using an altar or a potion) will be required.

Likewise, you can obtain the simply titled Prayer Book during The Great Brain Robbery quest, with which you can heal any poison affecting you for up to 2 prayer points (based on how many you have when using) by reciting the prayer in this book while wearing a Holy Symbol. You may have to recite the prayer more than once to get a total recovery, however.

	Prayer Book (of Saradomin)	After acquiring during The Great Brain Robbery quest, while wearing a Holy Symbol, reciting the words in this book will eliminate the effects of poison currently ailing you, in exchange for 2 prayer points.

Spirit Shields

After completing Summer's End, you are given the base form of the Spirit Shield. You are able to further improve this shield by blessing it by combining it with holy elixer(a drop from the Corporeal Beast) and using it with a Saradomin Altar(85 prayer required), gaining a Blessed Shield and 1500 prayer experience(if you don't have the 85 Prayer requirement, you can take it to Brother Jared at the Monastery, but he will charge you 1,000,000 coins to perform this service for you). You can further improve this shield by affixing Sigils to it: these are also dropped by the Corporeal Beast. There are several different sigils: these are Arcane, Divine, Elysian, and Spectral. These sigils grant better stats and/or special abilities. To attach any of the sigils you will need 90 Prayer and 85 Smithing, and doing so will grant 1800 smithing experience. To do this you should bring a Blessed Spirit Shield, a hammer, and the sigil of your choice to an anvil.

• To wear a Spirit Shield, you must have Level 40 Defence and Level 55 Prayer.
• To wear a Blessed Spirit Shield, you must have Level 70 Defence and Level 60 Prayer.
• To wear an Arcane Spirit Shield, you must have Level 75 Defence, Level 65 Magic, and Level 70 Prayer.
• To wear a Divine Spirit Shield, you must have Level 75 Defence and Level 75 Prayer.
• To wear an Elysian Spirit Shield, you must have Level 75 Defence and Level 75 Prayer.
• To wear a Spectral Spirit Shield, you must have Level 75 Defence, Level 65 Magic, and Level 70 Prayer.

Two of the shields have special effects when used: These are the Divine Shield and the Elysian Shield.

• Divine - 30% (or as much as possible if you have less than 30% prayer remaining) of damage taken is removed. Half of this 30% is removed from Prayer instead, while the remaining half is ignored.
• Elysian - Has a 70% chance of reducing damage taken by 25%.

Grave Repairing and Blessing

When a player dies and loses items on death (with the exception of dying within the Corporeal Beast's Lair, during all Activities, or on PvP worlds) a grave will appear to protect the items lost. To help this grave last longer; up to an hour at most, others must either bless or repair it as one can not bless or repair their own grave. To either bless or repair a grave, right click upon it and select the relevant option. If the grave has 5 minutes or less left, the "repair" option will appear. Repairing or blessing a grave will drain your prayer points, so do it wisely.

If the grave is not in need of repairing, only the 'read', 'demolish' and 'bless' options appear. This occurs even after it has been blessed.

Note: To repair, you must have level 2 prayer or above. Blessing requires a minimum level of 70 and will not take your prayer points below 10. The ratio of prayer points drained to minutes grave will remain is 1:1.
