Achieving the maximum prayer level in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), level 99, represents a significant investment of both time and in-game resources. The cost can vary dramatically depending on the chosen training method, ranging from relatively inexpensive approaches utilizing readily available bones to considerably more expensive methods employing rare and valuable bones.
High prayer level is highly sought after due to the powerful benefits it unlocks. These benefits include access to potent prayers that enhance combat abilities, protect against damage, and even restore health and prayer points. A high prayer level is often considered a prerequisite for tackling challenging end-game content and is a visible symbol of dedication within the OSRS community. Historically, achieving this level was even more demanding, requiring a substantial time investment. Modern methods, while still requiring dedication, have streamlined the process.
