I'm level 53 prayer and its by far the slowest skill I have to train. I cannot really set aside any cash to pay for bones, so I need to be totally self-sufficent. What is the best way for me to train my prayer to hopefully level 60?

 

 

 

Thanks

-Kill green dragons and pick up bones + hides.

 

-Sell hides and buy more bones with them.

 

-Use with gilded altar. Bam! 60 Prayer.

kill dragons and bank bones, find an open house with glided altar, use bones on altar

Yeah, it's been stated so far. Go kill green drags, bank both hides and bones. Sell the hides and buy more bones. Go to the RSOF and under events find a house party with a guilded alter. Go there and use your bones on the alter.

OKay great, thanks guys, another quick question,

 

 

 

Wheres the best place to get dragon bones?

 

 

 

Thanks again

Kill green dragons in chaos tunnels, take a familiar for more space.

The BEST place is the ge. Otherwise chaos tunnels. :twss: (couldn't help myself)

u could try to range blue dragons , green as well. and i think ectofuntus is a bit better than gilde altar, am i wrong?

Eco is more xp but u need to stock up on slime so eaither do that or buy it >..>

 

 

 

But if u really wanna be cost efficacy do eco

Gilded altar is faster than the Ectofuntus. The time you save is more valuable than the relatively small amount of extra money you lose.

get 0.3 combat lvl more (i.e. lvl up in attack or strength) and then camp at pc for about half a week or so without stopping.

 

I'm assuming that 53-60 is far less than 62-70 (in my case) and that took me 9 days. I'll guess it will take about 4 or 5 days but I could be wrong. If you decide to use your winnings for bones DON'T GO WITH GILDED ALTAR. Even if it does have the highest exp/hour it still does not give as much exp as the ectofunctus which can be a life saver for those on a budget. Finally, if you can't stomach pc, you can always do the penguin points and kill dragons. I still suggest pc though.

I am going to say if your going to buy bones, the ecto can be the best for large ammounts of training because eventualy the savings do add up. The ecto functus becomes much better than before if you have 58 agility because the shortcut cuts at least 80% off your travel time down to the slime from the trapdoor. With a ring of dueling or games necklace for banking, the ectofunctus can be quite fast. Still not nearly as fast as a guilded alter, but the option is still valid.

Gilded altar is faster than the Ectofuntus. The time you save is more valuable than the relatively small amount of extra money you lose.

 

Let's say drag bones are 2.3k ea.

 

288 exp with ecto

 

252 exp with gilded altar

 

 

 

It will take 250,000 exp to level up.

 

That's 993 drag bones with altar or 869 drag bones with ecto

 

First is 2,283,900 gp

 

Second is 2,065,400 gp

 

 

 

Alrighty, 220k isn't that bad of a difference. Or is it?

 

 

 

92-99 is 6.5 million exp

 

That's 25,794 dragon bones with altar.

 

And 22,570 dragon bones with ecto

 

59,326,200 gp with altar

 

51,911,000 gp with ecto

 

 

 

Basically, you pay 8.4 million gp for "convenience". Granted, people who have 60 mill to spend on prayer is like my having 21 mill and spending about 1.5 mill. You can buy a lot with 1.5 mill, but it's not as much as 21 mill by far. If I were to spend all my money on skills, I'd go the somewhat slower way and make it as efficient as possible time wise and then spend the left over money on something else *cough*magic*cough* than spend all of my money on one skill just because I'm impatient. Then again, that's just me. And just to say what that 8.4 million gp can buy, it can buy 4.2 million magic exp. That's about 94-99 magic right there. But of course, pc is my best bet since it actually EARNS money. And at lvl 98 prayer, the exp rate is almost identical to dragon bones with ecto (~288 exp per point).

You haven't factored in the extra time it takes. If you're sacrificing 60 hours to save 8.4m, that's obviously not worth it, because in the 60 hours you saved you could have made back the 8.4m and then some. The ectofuntus is less efficient.

 

 

 

Pest Control even more so. If you're getting the same xp for each point that you would get from using a dragon bone on a gilded altar, that's obviously a waste. Even if you can PC at max speed, with 2-minute games in the highest lander, that's the equivalent of 4 dragon bones every 2 minutes. 4 dragon bones is about 8k. If you're, say, 120 combat, you can add the money from the game and get 9.2k. So you're saving 9.2k every 2 minutes, which is a total savings of 276k gp/hr. But if your combat level is high enough to PC at that speed, you can easily make more than that killing green dragons. It's not worth it.

But, you also have to factor in "morale". For example, a person who has just spent all their money on one thing will be less inclined to earn it back only to spend it again than someone who spend part of their money and then spends the rest on same thing. Both ways end up with the same result in the same amount of time, but one has a more detrimental effect on morale. Why else (besides starts) would their be an argument over order in a relay? Additive property would say that the order of addition doesn't matter, only morale in this case. Morale can be a powerful thing in the methodology of training, and I am foolish to have forgotten to have put that in the post #-o

Nah, you made that up. :shame:

 

 

 

Okay, that's a little blunt, but you can't quantify the effect a training method will have on a person's enjoyment of the game, because it's completely subjective. You can take it into account in your personal gameplay, but it doesn't factor into any of this.

 

 

 

Besides, I would argue that faster experience does more to help someone's morale than the speed at which one's imaginary coffers empty, especially since you don't need to get all the money at a given time if you don't want to, and you can stop to replenish it at any time.

You're right; it is subjective, so there really wasn't any reason for my bringing it up #-o

 

However, I didn't make it up. I'm guessing that most teenagers that only want to do "one" thing as opposed to two when "working" in runescape would say that ecto would better. Same also applies to procrastinators (yours truly), but morale changes for each person. Yes, it a fairly important factor, but completely subjective.

 

 

 

I have no idea why the hell I'm off center today #-o Usually I'm much more logical in posts.

Ecto is never worth it, just use altar in the end your saving both time and money. The time you saved makes you more cash then you would have saved with ecto

I'd kill the dragons west of the dark warrior fortress. Pie is insanely good at argueing, it's best to just agree. :P
