Does prayer mess up combat skills?

[fishingpair2]

[iF WRONG FORUM, MODS COULD YOU MOVE PLEASE. TY]

 

 

 

Ok. This is what i did. I was in World 1, buying a rune kiteshield, when i saw a competition running for 50k. I followed the person doing it and won 50k.

 

So i thought to myself, im only 2k experience from my next prayer level, 53. Shall i get it? Why not.

 

 

 

So with my 50k i had just won for free i bought myself 130 big bones and buried them to get 53 prayer.

 

 

 

When i told my friends about this they all started on me and said 'It messes up your combat 100%' and 'You shouldnt have done that'

 

 

 

Was that the right thing to do? (Btw, I Dont PK and never will again)

 

 

 

Views please.

And Prayer does not screw up Combat unless you are a Pure that is :D

It doesn't screw up your Combat unless you are Pker or pure

Every prayer level raises your overall combat level by 1/8.

 

 

 

So if you raise prayer enough levels you will increase your combat level by 1.

 

So if you were a pure PKer, you probably would not want that.

 

 

 

But since you are not a PKer, then your combat level is not a concern

 

and the extra prayer level just provides extra capability in fighting.

 

 

 

Hope this helps
