A detailed view of a Prayer potion.

A Prayer potion is a potion made with Herblore that restores 72 to 317 Prayer points per dose. It appears as a vial containing an aquamarine fluid. The expression for this restoration seems to be:

$70+floor(2.5\times prayer\ level)$

Below level 62 Prayer, this potion provides more Prayer restoration than Super restore, although typically Super restores are used to restore other stats rather than simply Prayer, partially because they are significantly more expensive.

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 of an altar) is very convenient.

For players who have completed Rum Deal and have a holy wrench in their inventory, 10-30 additional prayer points will be restored per dose of prayer potion. Unfortunately, for the wrench to provide more prayer than an additional prayer potion would have, a player must have both nearly a full inventory of prayer potions and a prayer level of at most around 60. However, the wrench can still be a useful for its money saving properties in situations in which inventory space can be spared.

Assuming the player purchases Ranarr potion (unf) and Snape grass and with almost no distractions, creates 1,800 potions per hour, this would give approximately 157,500 experience per hour.

Adding Wyvern bonemeal to this potion will make a Super prayer potion.

Production costs

This table is based on the Grand Exchange prices of a vial of water, the ranarr, and snape grass. It is accurate assuming all three items are bought from the Grand Exchange and the Prayer potion is sold afterwards.

Herb state	Material cost	Profit/loss	Profit/xp
Clean
Grimy

• Unfinished ranarr potions may be substituted, and may be cheaper to buy. The current price is gp per unfinished potion or gp for both materials. This also allows the first and xp-less step to be skipped, slightly speeding the process.

$\rightarrow$ + =

Grimy ranarr is cleaned to become Clean ranarr added with a Vial of water to make Ranarr potion (unf).

+ = File:Prayer potion.png

Then add Snape grass to the Ranarr potion (unf) to make a 3-dose Prayer potion.

Prayer restoring potions

Potion	Level	Points restored	Price per dose	Price per Point (at 99 )
File:Prayer potion.png Prayer potion	38	Level * 2.5 + 70 (at 99 prayer, 317)	1,088	3.4
Super restore	63	Level * 2.5 + 80 (at 99 prayer, 327)	1,546	4.7
File:Super prayer.png Super prayer	94	Level * 3.43 + 70 (at 99 prayer, 416)	2,616	6.4
Prayer renewal	94	Level * 4 + 120 (at 99 prayer, 516)	930	1.8

When calculating how much a Prayer restoring potion restores of your prayer, the amount is rounded down (E.G if your prayer level is 73 and you drink one dose of prayer potion, it will restore (250% of 73 = 182.5) +70 points, to make 252.5, and will restore 252).

Note: The super prayer potion is untradeable, and the cost is calculated with the ingredients, wyvern bones and a prayer potion (3).

Flask

This potion can be made into a Prayer flask by using at least six doses of it with a Potion flask. Players do not need a specific level to turn potions into flasks.
