In this guide I'll try to explain how you can calculate the prayer drain/prayer pots, so you can find out how long you can stay at Aviansies, Zammy Warriors, Bandits etc.
- Prayer Summary -
Prayer is often used by Pures, who have the acquired level, to beat high level monsters or players, that would otherwise rip through their low defense. Using a Prayer spell drains the player's Prayer energy at varying speeds, and once this energy is depleted, Prayers can no longer be used; therefore, use of any and all Prayers is temporary. To slow the rate of drain, players may equip items that add Prayer bonuses, such as a blessed holy symbol or priest robes, which reduces the drain rate by increasing Prayer bonuses. Increasing Prayer level does not reduce the drain rate of prayers. Once the player's Prayer points reaches zero, all Prayers will deactivate and no Prayers will be able to be in use until the player recharges their Prayer points, through various mediums. Your prayer level will drain slowly or fast, depending on what prayers you have activated, here is a list of the regular prayers and how they drain.
- Normal PrayerBook -
Players can also use some Prayers at the same time with others, though doing so will compound the drain rate of these Prayers. Some Prayers cannot be used simultaneously and are marked in the table with the same background color. For example, activating the Smite Prayer while the Protect From Melee Prayer is active will automatically deactivate Protect from Melee as they are incompatible Prayers.
- Ancient Curse PrayerBook -
These are only available to members. Similar rules from the regular Prayer list apply: Sap Curses cannot be used with leech curses. Deflect Curses cannot be used together, except Deflect Summoning can be used with another Deflect Curse.
- Prayer Drain Calculations -
These are the prayer drain rates without any prayer bonus, with prayer bonus you can calculate like this:
A player has a drain rate of 2 points per 3 seconds, if that player equips prayer Armour to get a prayer bonus of 20 the the prayer is slowed by 0.035 * 20 = 0.7
Therefore the drain rate will become 3 * (2 + 0.7) = 2 points per 8.1 seconds or 1 point per 4.05 seconds.
This might seem advanced, just keep in your head that the formulas will always be 0.035*Prayer bonus
As you would pray range for Aviansies you would need a total of 705.88 prayer points (If you are praying Protect Range only and wearing 20 prayer bonus)
The prayer potion formula is a bit easier; 7 + (Prayer level / 4)
So if you had 43 prayer, you could get 17.75 prayer points restored by 1 dose of a prayer potion.
