Skilling - Prayer
Prayer in Nightmare is both a skill and a long-term combat system. You train it with Soul Orbs at home, and as your level climbs you unlock entire Mana-powered prayer books that reshape how your account plays.
The simple version
Go to ::home, use your Soul Orbs on the Prayer altar, and let them stack through your inventory. Because Soul Orbs stack, Prayer training is fully AFK-friendly compared to traditional one-by-one bone methods.
How Prayer training works
- Bones are replaced by Soul Orbs, which come in tiers such as Weak, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Very-Rare, and higher.
- You train Prayer at ::home by using Soul Orbs on the Prayer altar at home.
- Soul Orbs stack in your inventory, which makes Prayer one of the most AFK-friendly skilling methods on the server.
- Prayer does not stop at leveling alone. Higher Prayer levels unlock new books and effects that matter directly in combat.
Why Prayer matters
On Nightmare, Prayer is more than a defensive support skill. It becomes a progression system tied into Mana, combat bonuses, deflect effects, sustain, and specialized utility. The further your account goes, the more valuable your Prayer unlocks become.
