A tool exists to estimate the resources and time needed to improve the Prayer skill in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). This utility typically allows players to input their current Prayer level, their desired Prayer level, and the specific bones or ashes they intend to use during training. The output will then estimate the number of bones/ashes needed, the experience gained, and potentially the cost involved based on current Grand Exchange prices. For example, a player might input a current level of 43, a target level of 70, and the use of dragon bones; the tool would then calculate the number of dragon bones required to reach level 70.
The significance of this kind of estimator lies in its ability to assist players in efficient planning. Prayer is a vital skill in OSRS, used for activating various protective and offensive prayers during combat. The planning device enables players to make informed decisions about their training methods, optimizing both time and in-game currency expenditures. Historically, players often relied on manual calculations or spreadsheets to determine these values, a process that was both time-consuming and prone to error. The automated tool significantly streamlines this process.
