Title says it all.

Will be comp'd when I get round to this (120 prayer) so assume Yak etc...

Any more efficient ideas / tips welcome.

Assuming that there weren't any major advances to help speed things up in the last few years, it would seem to be around 1400/hr. Probably you can bump that up a little higher by taking advantage of bank presets for inventory and BoB. Using your own house is also more efficient apparently, something I thought was the other way around until I looked it up :P.

So gilded alter is still 'the best' method of training prayer?

Yeah, while I hesitate to use the qualifier 'best' it does still seem like the way to go. Cremation comes close with a 250% bonus instead of 350%/bone, but processing the bones, for lack of a better word, takes much longer, i.e. like over a minute for a full inventory vs the 25 seconds or whatever for the altar. And aside from the AFK component of it being convenient, as a future comped player you are probably wasting a lot in terms of opportunity cost if you go that route.

if you are planning to do this during bxp you will be disappointed. they usually do not allow gilded altars to work.

I was capable of offering 1500+ bones per hour using a War Tortoise. However, this could be a bit more with a Yak. I used the Yanille Open Altars since you do not need to relight the altar yourself.

 

As Arceus said, you can alternatively use Cremation, which even though it's only 250% more exp compared to 350% with Altars, it is actually fairly quick due to not having to teleport (and risk teleport lagging). Even though it's more costly, you still gain a good amount of Firemaking experience; in fact probably more than bonfiring elder logs since it only takes 3 ticks to drop a bone on the fire. 

 

Also, neither Cremation nor Gilded altar will work on double weekend. 

They said that before with Cremation, but you still got the regular amount of Prayer xp (250%, not 200%) and the Firemaking xp was in fact doubled. We'll see what happens this time.

Im not going to be doing this for dxpw. Thats reserved for dung.

 

Thanks for all the info. This will come in handy when I start going for 120. :D
