Q: How do I train Prayer efficiently?
Q: How do I train Prayer efficiently?


:A: Until someone writes a guide.. Start by earning prayer points. You earn some from monster drops, but you will want to earn more from Urns, Skeleton fish, Blessed Offering, or Slayer Resupply in the Shop. Then, activate prayers that give prayer xp and fight monsters! Your xp rate will depend on your damage, while your attack speed determines how quickly you will spend prayer points. You can optimize this by killing high hp, low evasion enemies with a slow attack speed weapon. You can also reduce prayer point usage as detailed on the prayer page. https://wiki.melvoridle.com/w/Prayer#Reducing_Prayer_Point_Usage

Q: What is a Slayer Area Effect and Flat Slayer Area Effect Negation?
Q: What is a Slayer Area Effect and Flat Slayer [[Area Effect Negation]]?


:A: [[Slayer Areas]] each have a persistent effect, which will debuff the player or buff the enemies found there as long as you are fighting in that area. The first few areas have minor effects, but as you progress they become much more impactful.

:To overcome the effect, you need Slayer Area Negation. This stat comes from many sources, including slayer armor. The negation % you have is a flat reduction. For example, say you are fighting in the [[Holy Isles]] which has the slayer area effect "+20% prayer point cost for prayers". If you are wearing basic slayer helmet and plate body which each give "5% slayer area negation", then the slayer area debuff will be 20% - 5% - 5% = +10% cost for prayers.

Q: My bank is always full! What should I do?
Q: My [[Bank]] is always full! What should I do?


:A: You will have to purchase hundreds of bank spaces in the shop as you progress in the game. But you can also save space by selling items you don't need and didn't take long to gather. If you have a few hundred tin ore but are already smithing iron, you can just sell them! There are a few items you shouldn't sell/use because you'll want them later, including strawberry seeds, dragon bones, antique vases.
