Runescape Game Play

Thanks to the Grand Exchange I now have enough dragon bones to reach 98 prayer, my combat stats are currently 99, strength, attack, defence, Range and 98 magic, I was 90 prayer.

The Grand Exchange is a great update, it is having a few problems finding a steady price for many items and I anticipate this problem remaining for a few months yet, this is mainly due to people who have stock piled items (myself included) putting them all on the GE at the lowest price to get rid of them, when everyone who want to sell sells their excess stock the prices will start to creep up again.

The cost for me to get 98 prayer was 60m, although I could afford it I had better things to spend my cash on, when the GE was first mentioned on the Runescape website I had a feeling the price of most things would drop over night, because of this I held back and waited for it to be introduced.

The days leading up to the GE the price of D bones was 1.7k, immediately after the GE was introduced they went up to 1.9k, I was a little disappointed and carried on as normal, I checked back later and they had dropped to 1.55k, I put in an offer of the lower price for 25k d bones (enough for 98 prayer) after about an hour there was no bones bought so I revised my bid to the asking price again requesting the 25k bones, and woot immediately bought 25k d bones. this is how cheap the bones were before the piety prayers were brought out.

I built an extra gilded alter in my house right next to the entry portal when I went for 90 prayer and already had 2k marentils ready for the incense burners so was all set to go.

I decide my previous method of tele Castle Wars grab stuff tele house offer and repeat was the quickest method so that what I did.

This is all I needs to wear when training prayer, there is little running so you can wear anything..

I travel light just needing the runes for home teleport and a tinderbox, I carry the mud staff to save an inventory space by not needing earth runes.

I set my button to one button mouse this makes clicking easier and reduces the chance of miss clicking and burying the bones.
My gilded alter is the basic alter no carpets or decorations to minimise any extra options when offering my bones.

This is my inventory when I tele to house to offer my bones.

I grab an inventory as listed above tele to house and offer my bones, I use the dueling ring on my finger to teleport to Castle Wars and repeat (not forgetting to replace the ring when it crumbles) this involves little walking and is as quick as it can get.

I have done this over a few days and have reached 94 prayer already, I keep taking breaks to give my hand a break, I know Jagex will introduce offer x when Ive got 99 prayer but I'm not waiting.

One week after the Grand Exchange brings me 4 prayer levels, 4 more to go.

I anticipate the next 4 levels will take a couple of weeks, I'm not going to do it non stop but will want 126 before Christmas.

My conclusion is that prayer is quick and easy to train it is just monotonous and very expensive.

Just out of interest I have 4k bones ordered on GE at bottom price, if they haven't been bought when Ive done these I will ask the going rate for them for 99 prayer.
