All prayers that provide a percentage increase apply multiplicatively, except for {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}} which provides a flat 3% increase to [[Damage Reduction]]. For example, {{PrayerIcon|Mystic Might}}'s +15% Magic Evasion bonus will multiply the player's [[Combat#Magic Evasion Rating|Magic Evasion Rating]] by 1.15 rather than directly providing a 15% chance to evade any Magic attack. Likewise, the +15% Magic Accuracy bonus it provides will multiply the player's [[Combat#Magic Accuracy Rating|Magic Accuracy Rating]] by 1.15 rather than simply adding 15% to their hit chance. Players can view the {{Icon|Combat}} page for more detail on how hit chance is calculated.

The three Protection prayers are worded differently and behave differently from prayers that affect Evasion Rating. For example, {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Magic}} provides a flat 85% chance for the player to dodge any Magic attack.
The three Protection prayers are worded differently and behave differently from prayers that affect Evasion Rating. For example, {{PrayerIcon|Protect from Magic}} provides a flat 80% chance for the player to dodge any Magic attack, therefore using protection prayers when the monsters's chance to hit is 20% or lower is not advised as doing so would increase the monster's chance to hit.

=== Reducing Prayer Point Usage ===
=== Reducing Prayer Point Usage ===
To reduce the number of prayer points used by active prayers, players can:
To reduce the number of prayer points used by active prayers, players can take advantage of various sources granting modifiers that reduce the prayer point cost of prayers and/or provide a chance to preserve all prayer points the prayer would have used.


* Reduce the prayer cost (to a minimum of 1 point per prayer):
The prayer point cost reduction modifiers can reduce the cost of prayers to a minimum of 1 point per prayer, the only exception to this being that protection prayers are free when the {{ItemIcon|Gold Diamond Ring}} is equipped. Any flat prayer point reductions are applied before any percentage reductions, therefore in some specific cases some flat cost reductions provide no benefit. For example, consider a scenario where prayers with an odd prayer point cost are active while both the {{ItemIcon|Prayer Skillcape}} and {{ItemIcon|Priest Hat}} are equipped - in such a case, the Prayer Skillcape reduces the cost to 2 points regardless of whether the Priest Hat is equipped or not.
** {{ItemIcon|Prayer Skillcape}} halves the cost of prayers when equipped (rounded down to the nearest whole number of prayer points)
** {{ItemIcon|Priest Hat}} decreases the cost of prayers by 1 point when equipped
** The Cave Maze [[Agility#Obstacles|Agility obstacle]] decreases the cost of prayers by 1 point when active (similarly, Cliff Balance ''increases'' the cost of prayers by at least 2 points, so ideally should not be built if minimising prayer costs)
* Increase the chance to preserve prayer points:
** [[Divine Potion|Divine Potions]] provide a 10-35% chance to preserve prayer points
** {{PetIcon|Monk-ey}} and {{PetIcon|Norman}} provide a 5% and 3% chance respectively to preserve prayer points
** The Cave Maze and Lava Waterfall Dodge [[Agility#Obstacles|Agility obstacles]] each provide a 10% chance to preserve prayer points


Note that the reductions from {{ItemIcon|Priest Hat}} and the Cave Maze [[Agility#Obstacles|obstacle]] are applied before the cost is halved by the {{ItemIcon|Prayer Skillcape}}, meaning that for prayers costing an odd number of prayer points there is no benefit gained unless using both the {{ItemIcon|Priest Hat}} and Cave Maze obstacle while the {{ItemIcon|Prayer Skillcape}} is equipped.
The chance to preserve prayer points provides a chance that active prayers will be used for free. The highest possible chance to preserve is currently 78% without {{Skill|Astrology}} constellations, or up to 93% should the player manage to roll +5% chance to preserve prayer points on all three unique modifier stars within the {{Icon|type=constellation|Hyden}} constellation.
