'''Big bones''' are items associated with the [[Prayer]] skill. They are an intermediate level bone, although they are arguably the best training option for [[free-to-play]]. Big bones give 15 [[experience]] points when buried normally. The [[experience]] can be increased to 37.5, 45, 52.5, or 60 via several progressively more effective members-only abilities. When used in a [[Player-owned house]] on the [[Gilded altar]] big bones produce 37.5 experience, with one [[Incense burner]] lit they will produce 45, and with both [[incense burners]] lit they produce 52.5. The maximum that can be produced by a Big bone is when they are worshipped at the [[Ectofuntus]], producing 60 experience each, although this is often considered to be far more tedious than necessary. They also give 60 experience when used on an [[altar]] in [[Daemonheim]] while [[Dungeoneering]]. Big bones currently give the highest [[experience]] points of any bone in [[free-to-play]] excluding the quest-reward-only [[Ancient bones]], of which the player can only ever receive five.

When buried normally these bones give over three times as much [[experience]] as [[bones]], making big bones an extremely popular and the best method of training [[prayer]] in [[free-to-play]]. They are usually dropped by abnormally large monsters, such as any type of [[Giant]], including [[Giant Frog]]s, and [[Ogre]]s. The only [[free-to-play]] monsters that drop big bones are [[Hill giant]]s, [[Moss giant]]s, [[giant skeleton]], and [[Ice giant]]s, along with the [[Mastyxes|bovimastyxes]] and other large creatures of [[Daemonheim]].

Previously the price skyrocketed for big bones, most likely because of the introduction of high level curses. Collecting them in the [[Wilderness]] [[Bone Yard]] and selling them is one of the quickest ways to make money available for [[free-to-play|non-members]].

[[Members]] can get big bones from the 'gamble' option when purchasing rewards at the [[Soul Wars]] arena, but it is not likely to get them. If they do get them, they will likely get them in quantities of 60 or more.

Since the [[17 November]] [[2009]] update, big bones can be used with [[Bones to Bananas]] and [[Bones to Peaches]].

==Cost and XP Analysis==

==Tips==

* For [[members]] who have completed the [[Biohazard]] quest, there is an incredibly fast way to get big bones, which is even faster if with 51 [[magic]]. In the Training Ground North of [[Ardougne]], many players train [[ranged]] quickly, so they leave the big bones from the [[ogres]] on the ground. Enough [[ogres]] are killed that there will be a massive supply of big bones. Another quick way is the Cyclopes at the Warriors Guild. Using the multi-token option will allow you to have 2 noted big bones per kill, and with a good weapon players can get enough big bones.
* For [[free-to-play]] players, the fastest way to get big bones is from [[hill giant]]s located in the [[Edgeville Dungeon]]. In order to get easy access to these [[hill giant]]s, the player needs a [[brass key]] which can be found inside the [[Edgeville Dungeon]] or bought from the [[Grand Exchange]]. You could also just buy the bones themselves off the [[Grand Exchange]]. The additional [[Resource Dungeon]] added on [[19 July]] [[2010]] created even more [[hill giant]] [[spawns]] and also [[limpwurt root]] [[item]] [[spawns]]. This requires 20 [[Dungeoneering]] to enter.
* There was a [[glitch]] that did not allow the player to pick up big bones, even with an empty [[inventory]]. "You cannot take that at the moment" would appear in the [[chatbox]] when the player tried to pick up a big bones. Some players were not able to pick up only big bones, but others were not allowed to pick up any [[drops]]. The glitch also prevented players from accessing the [[Grand Exchange]], joining [[clans]], and looking at their [[friends list]]. It is supposedly caused by a new anti-bot protection by [[Jagex]] that makes detected botters not able to pick up [[items]]. It is possible to get rid of the glitch by logging out, waiting for a few moments and logging back in. The glitch is fixed.
* If you are in [[Dungeoneering]] and use the big bones on an [[altar]] you will receive 60 [[prayer]] [[experience]] instead the 15 [[experience]] that you receive when you bury the [[bones]] (This works in [[free-to-play]] and [[members]]).
* It is possible to bury bones in [[combat]] just as you swing your [[weapon]]. If timed right, there will be no usual burying animation and the [[weapon]] swing will not be interrupted. This is useful while training in crowded areas, such as at the [[Hill Giants]] and [[Moss Giants]].
* It takes approximately 863,424 Big bones to get from level 48 to level 99 which adds up to about 274,568,832 [[Coins|coins.]]
* [[Shade]]s and [[Zombie (random event)|Zombies]] from historical [[Random events]] could drop over 10 big bones a time.
