Divine tears

Divine tears are remnants of Guthix's life force which Zamorak and Saradomin want to steal, used in the Battle of Lumbridge. Divine tears are collected on and off the battlefield and may not be banked.

On the battlefield, divine tears can be obtained from Divine Tears Formations (Woodcutting), Divine Tears Rocks (Mining), glowing pools (Fishing) or by killing warriors from the opposite faction. Throughout the rest of Gielinor, they are obtained by killing any creature that drops summoning charms or by Farming, Fishing, Herblore, Hunter, Mining, Runecrafting, or Woodcutting, including actions at clan citadel skill plots. However, players do not gain divine tears while fishing with a heavy rod and fly fishing. Gathering from glowing crystals, glowing rocks and glowing pools provides scaled experience points towards Woodcutting, Mining, and Fishing respectively. Items such as Lumberjack clothing, the Fishing outfit and the Golden mining suit do provide bonus experience when harvesting divine tears.

Members can collect a maximum of 3,000 divine tears each day, while non-members players can collect up to 1,500 tears per day. As with many other daily activities, the day begins at 00:00 UTC. Depositing divine shards will also count towards this limit, however tears gathered from yellow nodes do not.

As players collect more divine tears, the amount received per harvest decreases gradually from 5 to 0. This also resets each day (00:00 UTC).

When skilling, there is a slim chance that the player will find a deed to a certain title.

Occasionally some of the divine tears gathering spots will become unstable and change colour. When they turn orange-brown, gathering divine tears will harm the player (10% of your maximum life points). Alternatively, when they glow bright yellow, they will grant trice the normal amount of divine tears per harvest.

It is not possible to fill any type of urn by mining, fishing or woodcutting for tears.

Experience
The experience received from skilling inside the battle crater depends on the skill level as well as the token level. The formula is $$XP = (10 + \mathrm{SkillLevel}) \cdot \mathrm{TokenModifier}$$. The token modifier depends on the level of your token:

Spending divine tears
Divine tears can be turned in for Renown at an exchange rate of one for one by depositing them in your faction's collection point, which can then be used to buy armour, experience lamps, titles, emotes, or single-use items from the Zamorakian or Saradominist quartermaster.

Ten divine tears can also be used to heal a champion or a J-mod clone.

Trivia

 * There was a bug where any divine tears in your inventory counted towards your daily cap. This included tears gathered on a previous day. This was fixed on 13 August 2013.
 * It is possible to collect much more than 3,000 tears in a single day by utilizing the glowing or "enriched" nodes, as they continuously give a large amount of tears while counting as only 1-2 towards your daily cap.
