As well as using magic spells you can also pray to the Gods of RuneScape to give you an advantage. To view the available prayers point at the spell book item at the top of the screen, and click on the 'prayers' to show the list.
If the prayer name appears in black your prayer level is not yet high enough. If the prayer name appears in white the prayer is available to use but not on. If the prayer name appears in light green the prayer is on.
To activate a prayer just left click on it. The name will turn green to indicate the prayer is active. Click on the prayer again to de-activate it.
When you have prayers on, your prayer-points will slowly drain down to zero. The more prayers you use at once, the faster your points will drain. When you run out of prayer-points all the prayers will be turned off, and can't be used again until you recharge your prayer points.
When using prayers, the total drain rate is about how many prayer points you will use up in about 200 seconds. (ex. if you only use Thick skin, the total drain rate is 15, so your prayer points will go down 15 points in about 200 seconds).
To recharge your prayer points you must find an alter, and left click on the altar to recharge.
To level your prayer, you need to bury bones. Bones are dropped by almost all monsters, and all giants drop big bones.
Free normal bones can be picked at ghost town(nothing guarding). Big bones can be picked up at around level 20 wilderness on the east side, but guarded by level 31 armed skeletons.
Normal bones give you 3.75 prayer experience when buried (15 prayer exp for each 4 bones). And big bones give you 12.5 prayer exp when buried (25 prayer exp for each 2 big bones)
