06-Sept-2011 - New High-Level Prayer Potion

 

High-level herbalists can now create prayer renewal potions. These concoctions restore a sizeable sum of prayer points over the course of five minutes; great for when your prayer points are looking low, but there’s not an altar in sight.

 

Of course, you’ll still have your super prayer potions for when you need an instant boost in the heat of battle, but the prayer renewal potion restores roughly 25% more prayer points than the super prayer potion does and is tradable, making it a cost-effective, widely obtainable way to cater for your prayer needs in the field.

 

Brewing a prayer renewal potion requires the following:

 

Level 94 Herblore

 

A fellstalk herb, which can be grown by level 94 farmers.

 

A morchella mushroom, which can be grown by level 74 farmers.

 

 

The seeds and spores for fellstalk herbs and morchella mushrooms can be obtained from evil trees; Miscellania kingdom management; traded with other players; or can be found as drops from werewolves, mutated zygomites, ogre chieftains and high-level Slayer targets, among others.

In other news...

 

We’ve also completed some technical changes to the Prayer skill, with the most prominent being to prayer points, multiplying your displayed total by 10 to match the format used by life points. While the Prayer tweaking will have no direct impact upon gameplay, it allows us to release more interesting and varied Prayer updates in the future, including the prayer potion we have released today! As an example of future updates, the upcoming Penance aura will restore prayer points based on damage taken, which would have been very difficult to implement if prayer and life points had still been displayed in different formats.

 

For those who use the RuneScape game bar, we’ve added an array of options through which it can be customised. Read the news post on the homepage to find out more.

Will take me awhile to get used to seeing a large number for prayer points, but I can get used to it. Although, it seems weird to make one update dedicated solely to a new potion, herb, and secondary ingredient. :mellow:

Ugh....Jagex -.-

I might be wrong, but didn't they dedicate an entire update week to the constitutution change? Guess this is a bit of an improvement :razz:

 

Wonder what this'll do to prices of alternatives, if anyone. Wonder what price they'll be (or stabilise at)...

so, it replenishes.....slowly.

 

cool.

It's tradeable.. >_<

WHY JAGEX.

 

WHY!

To top it off, my membership expires in under two hours, so I cannot experiment with the slow restore until I renew, which has a potential to be promising.

I think I'll try farming the herbs, could be nice money

yawn

Nice patch notes, o wait that was not the main update? :P

 

Lol I am not sure if I ever saw such small update. And about the game bar... I can't even use it on safari, because it makes safari crash... well I can try again and hope that they have fixed that problem (or because apple updated safari).

Prayer flashing is dead now I believe as prayers drain is quicker thus you wouldn't be able to switch on and off before it drains like before.

The new potion is nice. Not great, not game changing, but nice. One potion = 20 minutes, so that's 5-6 of these potions on a DK trip. Tradeable, so you can store in familiar (unlike super prayer).

 

I like.

What's the best for kingdom to get these new herbs/seeds? 9 maples 6 herbs?

Prayer flashing lives. Prayer points are only debited if the prayer has been active for more than 1 tick.

So, nothing new to me anyway ;)

Only if you do it weekly, otherwise 10 maples would be better.

I could still prayer flash when I just tried it out so I don't think anything has changed.

Wait I had 0 prayer points before the update and now it is full, thanks for the free prayer refresh update jagex :P

I figured it was still technically possible although I imagine quite a bit harder now as it'll be less time it can be active for without draining, then again that's balanced out by it not dropping a whole point at once but increments instead

Prayer flashing has always relied on you activating your prayer for only one tick. Any more than that and it drains, even under the old mechanic.

With a +40 prayer bonus, if you use turmoil on it's own, from lvl 95 prqayer it will last 7 minutes, combine that with the new prayer pot, could make for very long constant praying, could be very useful on tasks.

Fair enough, never really did it that often before so don't have a whole lot of experience with it but definitely seems like I'm dropping more points now then I ever did before, but as I said didn't do it a lot before so probably just me messing up :P

How much are the seeds going for? worth doing herbs instead of coal?

i cant believe people are mad at them fixing flashing. its obvious prayer wasnt supposed to work like that.
