OSRS Prayer Training Checklist (2026 updated)
- ✓ Choose your budget: Cheapest = Dragon bones + Chaos Altar (risk world 308) or Blessed shards.
- ✓ Fastest = Superior dragon bones + Runner service / Gilded Altar (world 330).
- ✓ Ironman route: Green dragons → Dragon bones → Chaos Altar, or Hunter rumours for sunfire splinters.
- ✓ Use ensouled heads (dragon heads 1,560 XP each) – cheaper than bones but require magic.
- ✓ For 200M prayer XP, consider using hydra bones and offer at Chaos Altar on high-risk worlds with noted bones.
