[[File:Prayer potion detail.png|100px|left|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:
<div align="center"><math>70 + floor( 2.5 \times prayer\ level )</math></div>
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.

[[Pay-to-play|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==
{{Potion costs|7.5|87.5|ranarr|snape grass}}
*Unfinished ranarr potions may be substituted, and may be cheaper to buy. The current price is {{GEprice|ranarr potion (unf)}}gp per unfinished potion or {{#expr:{{GEprice|ranarr potion (unf)|n}}+{{GEprice|Snape grass}}}}gp for both materials. This also allows the first and xp-less step to be skipped, slightly speeding the process.

<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Grimy ranarr.png|link=Grimy ranarr]] <math>\rightarrow</math> [[File:Clean ranarr.png|link=Clean ranarr]] + [[File:Vial of water.png|link=Vial of water]] = [[File:Ranarr potion (unf).png|link=Ranarr potion (unf)]]</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">[[Grimy ranarr]] is cleaned to become [[Clean ranarr]] added with a [[Vial of water]] to make [[Ranarr potion (unf)]].</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Ranarr potion (unf).png|link=Ranarr potion (unf)]] + [[File:Snape grass.png|link=Snape grass]] = [[File:Prayer potion.png]]</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Then add [[Snape grass]] to the Ranarr potion (unf) to make a 3-dose Prayer potion.</div>

==Prayer restoring potions==
{{Prayer_restore}}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.
