Prayer training Burying vs Banking

[HappyNooblet]

Title says it all,

Which would be better if i was aiming for prayer?

I know its a waste of time to go bank your bones, but wouldnt burying the bones waste exp?

 

For example:

instead of burying for 72 exp, you could be saving up 1000 bones and then using them on a gilded alter for 252 exp each.

So if i were to bury 1k dragon bones as i do my tasks, i would only be getting 72k pray exp, though if i were to bank 1k dragon bones i would be getting 252k pray exp. Thats 180k more exp.

(frost dragon bones/ourg bones are excluded)

 

But then again the time banking contradicts the amount of time killing dragons for bones for which could be buried.......

help me please D:

im so confused...

 

Note* i do not have a yak.

On irons/steels, fill a tort/inventory as you do the task, but don't bank for it.

If you do blues, which I don't recommend as they aren't a very good task, the banking is very fast.

Just use a bone crusher. It solves the timewaste problem whether it be banking or burying.

So do i keep burying on the steel drag task? until i get close to finishing the task then i start collecting?

No, the idea is that you don't waste time burying. You just pick up bones until you can't anymore.

 

Vezon has the best advice though. I can't believe I forgot about bonecrusher.

Although its possible to pick up d bones in between ticks

And i wasnt worrying about the time picking up the bones... i was worrying about the xp burying vs banking/altering

Fill your tort with bones, then forget about bones altogether until the task is over. Unless you have a bonecrusher, then just use that and forgo the tort.

Neither both are a pain in the...

Are we talking about slayer or general dragon killing? If it's slayer, just use a bonecrusher and forget all about banking.

If you do dragons off-task for prayer... Stop. Just go do your best money making method and use the cash to buy bones that you can alter. Why do the labour when you can afford to pay someone to do it for you? :P

 

If you don't have access to good money makers or just love killing dragons, i'd recommend you take your best BoB full of supplies and just bury bones as you go, only picking up and keeping ones when there is space. So at the end of a nice long trip you'll have buried many bones, but have a full inventory and BoB of them left to use on the altar or sell.
