Method notes
  • Gilded altar — POH or a host's house; both incense burners must be lit (marrentill) for 350%.
  • Chaos altar — level 38 Wilderness; 350% and each bone has a 50% chance not to be used, roughly halving bones needed. PKers camp it.
  • Ectofuntus — 400%, but each bone needs a pot, a bucket of slime and a trip through the grinder; slowest per hour.
  • Prayer pieces don't stack XP boosts here; the Morytania legs 4 make bonemeal to the bank at the Ectofuntus.

How it works — in four simple steps

No signup and nothing to install — it all runs in your browser.

1

Enter current and target levels

Type your current Prayer level and the level you're aiming for.

2

Pick your bone

Choose the bone you'll be offering, from regular to superior dragon.

3

Pick your method

Bury, a gilded/chaos altar (×3.5), or the ectofuntus (×4).

4

Read the bone count

See the XP needed and exactly how many bones to buy.

Pro tip

Pick “Chaos altar” and the bone count halves — each offering has a 50% chance to keep the bone. Wyvern bones give 72 XP, the same as dragon bones.

About the OSRS Prayer Calculator

Training Prayer is about feeding bones for experience. Each bone gives a base amount of Prayer XP — 4.5 for regular bones, 72 for dragon bones, 150 for superior dragon bones — and your training method multiplies it: burying is ×1, a gilded altar with both burners lit is ×3.5, and the ectofuntus is ×4.

This calculator works out the XP gap between your current and target Prayer level using the official XP table, then divides by the XP per bone to tell you exactly how many bones to buy. Pick your bone and method to compare costs — dragon bones on a gilded altar is the classic fast route.

Everything runs in your browser.

Examples

1 → 70 Prayer on dragon bones (×3.5 gilded altar) → about 2,930 bones for ~738k XP.
Switch to superior dragon bones to roughly halve the bone count.

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
How many bones do I need for a Prayer level?
It depends on the XP gap and the bone. The calculator subtracts your current level's XP from the target's and divides by the XP per bone (base × method multiplier) to give the exact count.
How much XP do dragon bones give?
72 XP each when buried, or 252 on a gilded altar with both burners lit (×3.5). Superior dragon bones give 150 / 525.
Is a gilded altar worth it?
Usually yes — the ×3.5 multiplier means far fewer bones for the same level, at the cost of some setup. The calculator lets you compare bury vs altar directly.
What's the fastest Prayer training?
Superior dragon bones on a gilded altar (or the chaos altar for a cheaper, riskier route) give the most XP per bone. Compare methods here to find your best cost.
Does this use the real XP table?
Yes — it uses the official OSRS experience formula, so the XP required to reach your target level is exact.
