Prayer

You offer bones on an altar, then you unlock curses. This page is RuneScape. The Wilderness chaos altar is the other game.

Prayer in RuneScape

Words on this page

Gilded altar: a fancy house altar. Light it. Curses: the later prayer book from the temple quest. Soul Split: the curse that heals you.

Unlock

Use a chapel or a player-owned altar. Ancient Curses want the quest The Temple at Senntisten. Soul Split is on that list. A pile of bones does not unlock it.

The route

  • Early

    Method
    Do the prayer quests, then offer cheap bones.
    Place
    Stand at the Lumbridge or Edgeville altar.
    Click
    Click one bone, then offer it.
    Leave
    Leave lamps for levels you already earned.
  • Mid

    Method
    Offer dragon bones on a gilded altar or the chapel the wiki ranks.
    Place
    Stand there with the burners lit.
    Click
    Click offer until the bag is empty.
    Leave
    Leave if a burner goes out.
  • Late

    Method
    Offer the bone the wiki ranks, on that same altar.
    Place
    Stand in the house, not the Wilderness.
    Click
    Click offer, then train curses when the quest allows.
    Leave
    Leave cleansing crystals unless the live page still lists them.

Inventory

Wear the First Age outfit if you own it. Otherwise clothes do not matter. Do not wear Wilderness gear. That is the other game. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

Dragon bones and frost dragon bones cost coins. A gilded altar or a chapel saves some. Check the wiki. Do not price the Old School chaos altar on this page.

Iron fork

If you cannot buy the supplies, gather them yourself. Stay on the earlier step until you have them.

Kit

Wear the First Age outfit if you own it. Otherwise clothes do not matter. Do not wear Wilderness gear. That is the other game.

Mistakes

Do not copy the Old School chaos altar onto this page. Do not offer bones with the burners out.

Stop

Stop when you have the level you came for. A quest, a prayer, or a weapon. Level 99 is a cape. You do not need it to use the skill.

Official notes

XP rates move. Use the live wiki for the number. This page is the route.
