so i want to get to lvl 70 prayer (eventually) and im thinking about buying bones to get the job done. one of the things i noticed on tip's prayer calc was that there are 2 ways to get faster pray xp one is ecto and the other is altar. i believe the altar is in your personal house (not planning on making one) but what is ecto and what do i hav to do to get it??

 

 

 

thx

You have to do the Ghost Ahoy quest, but altar is better anyway.

altar is much better, its 350% exp rather than 400% at ecto, but ecto is about a million times slower.

 

 

 

Its easy enough to find someone with a gilded altar on the forums (make SURE its guilded with both burners lit - it is good manners to provide marrentills for them) who will let you use it for free, just got 60 prayer this way myself - altar is the way to go.

Ectoing takes longer, but costs less. POH Altars are quicker, but costs more (less exp, so you need more bones) .

ecto= ecotfunctus

 

 

 

u need bucket's of slime and need to groudn your bones, and then worship.

 

u dont need to do the quest, just do some research and you will understand the whole thing, it's quite simple.

 

 

 

there are ( like u mentioned) 2 ways of getting prayer up quick.

 

 

 

1) the costly way/ fast way : use your POH altar ( or a friend his altar), use it with 2 insence burners( tip.it has a great guide about it;-))

 

 

 

2) the cheap way/slow way: use ectofunctus ( tip.it has a great gudie about this way of using prayer ;-))

Ecto - Slow but more experience per bone

 

Guilded Altar - Faster but less experience per bone

 

 

 

If you're on a tight budget, ectoing is the way to go, but otherwise, use a guilded altar.

The gilded altar isn't just faster -- it's a LOT faster.

 

 

 

Remember that time is money. If you level up prayer in half the time you can easily make up the extra cost of a few more bones in the rest of the time you save.
