Talk:Holy Cithara

Kite?
Is there a level requirement to receiving this or does the Saradomin kiteshield not count? Happywizard 22:19, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

edit: i put on a bunch of prayers and it let me have it. full items as in description, substituted kite for vambraces.

I think you need 60 prayer....

Amount of items
I got the Cithara with 3 items which I know from various testing. We have no idea what this works on. I've also got it from hopping worlds and trying again with the same equipment. I think it's some combination of number of items and prayer bonus. Edmyg 00:28, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

When I got it...
I had NORMAL full Sara Book (illum didn't work for me), no Piety (with piety and illum it didn't work), White Knight Gloves/boots, the robes, Sara Croz, Cramulet, and visibilty ring. Don't know if it matters but I was also holding Faldor shield 3, 2 Sara Illuminated books, and the necklace from the robe set.

Edit: Is Prayer Bonus at all related? I notice now I had +27 prayer bonus when I did it, could it be related in any way?

Rumored Items
White items and the Smite prayer are rumored to work. The Saradomin Bird is suspected, but not many people have tried it so far. Can anybody confirm any of that?

---Update: I can confirm that white items do not work, but Saradomin Birds DO work. Feel free to test with the following setup if you don't believe it: Citharede robe hood/top/bottom, sara arrow x1, sara bird/owl, sara crozier/staff (six items total)

Falador Shield prevents being able to get the Cithara?

I was wearing 7 items when I went to get mine, and I got the "you're so close" message. Then I removed the shield (changed nothing else) and tried again, and it worked. I'm not sure about shields 1,2, and 3 but it's definitely the case for Falador Shield 4.

piety does NOT count, sara owl does NOT count and fally sheilds do count 70.246.139.250 03:03, November 8, 2011 (UTC) also prayer bonus doesnt matter

Are you sure about Piety?
I was only able to obtain the cithara only after I activated my Piety prayer, I had tried multiple times before but nothing happened. This leads me to believe that Piety has some effect on recieving the cithara, as it was the only difference from my failed attempt to my correct attempt. The related equipment that I was wearing the cramulet, ring of visablity, Citharede robes, Saradomin crozier, an illuminated holy book, and a Saradomin arrow.

"You're so close"
The "you're so close message" does absolutely nothing. I got it, changed nothing and tried again less than half a minute later and got it. Maybe I'm just special, but it seems to me that if it let you take it without harming you, you can get it (please anybody correct this if I'm wrong). 06:45, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Yet another bug
You need to be exactly at your max prayer points, I tried to get the cithara with 999 prayer points but that didn't work. 990 did the trick. Villermen 12:39, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

You can not have law runes :)

Curiously you can recieve it while skulled, I lolled at being called a living saint143.238.216.208 18:11, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Saradomin sword
My first setup was robes/amulet/ring plus a Saradomin arrow, Saradomin cloak, and Saradomin kiteshield. It took a few tries but I got it. Out of curiosity, I destroyed the cithara and swapped out the kiteshield for a Saradomin sword. This setup also worked, so does this mean the Saradomin sword DOES work as opposed to the claim by the article? Kiyomizu 21:14, November 8, 2011 (UTC)
