Can a prayer level make your combat level go up?

[Deathscythe]

I was burying big bones a few day ago when my I got to level 44 in prayer but something else happened, in doing so I want from a combat level 72 to a combat level 73 which make no sense what so ever. So can your prayer level make your combat level go up by one level?

 

BTW I did the dragon slayer quest too if that has something to do what it.

Your combat level depends on all combat stats (attack, defence, strength, constitution, ranged, magic, prayer, summoning), though only attack+strength or magic or ranged counts. Your combat level is then calculated and this gives a number like 72.9, which is rounded down. Getting that one prayer level gets you a little beyond 73 and that's rounded to 73.

Yes, prayer gives combat levels. An account with all combat related skills at 1 but 99 prayer will be 15 combat.

4 level-ups in a combat skill will give a combat level and every 8 levels in prayer or summoning will grant a combat level.

I'm curious as to how you got to 44 prayer and just now realised that it gives you combat levels...

Perhaps every time he/she gained a combat level, it was due to gaining a level in something other than Prayer. :thumbup:
