Prayer potion

A Prayer potion is an item that restores 7 to 31 Prayer points per dose. The formula for this seems to be 7 + (prayer level / 4). It appears to be a vial containing an aquamarine fluid.

Members can make a prayer potion at level 38 Herblore by adding a clean ranarr to a vial of water, and then mixing in snape grass. This makes a potion with three doses, and grants 87.5 experience.

Prayer potions are almost always in high demand, due largely to the common use of protection prayers and smiting as a defence in combat. Having a way of restoring Prayer points in the middle of battle (and without the need for an altar) is very convenient. They used to be sold almost constantly in player killing hotspots (such as World 18 Edgeville bank) when the wilderness was a PKing area. With the recent update that introduced PvP worlds again, prayer potions are seeing a rise in demand by pkers.

For players who have completed Rum Deal and have a holy wrench in their inventory, 1-3 additional prayer points will be restored per dose of prayer potion. This becomes useful when fighting TzTok-Jad, as large amounts of Prayer Potions (sometimes around half an inventory) are often used.
