It can now be left-clicked to activate, or deactivate, a group of Prayers preselected by the player simultaneously. This new function was recognised as "quick prayers". On 25 March 2009, the Prayer icon next to the minimap ( ) (now next to the prayer bar on the action bar) had a function added which expanded on its function as a simple meter. In fact, Prayer almost completely relies on destroying remains, such as by scattering demonic ashes or burying bones to gain experience. Prayer, unlike most skills that are directly related to their name, cannot be trained just through the act of "praying". The actual connection between Prayer and the gods of Gielinor, including Saradomin as well as others such as Zaros and Seren, is that the unique energy obtained by giving the dead a proper burial could be channelled into receiving certain boons or curses, which may be aligned with a particular god. Indeed, Yauchomi, the former Lumbridge Prayer Tutor, also stated that burying bones raised the player's Prayer level by increasing their "holy energies". The notes state that prayer is actually energy harnessed from the dead by giving them a proper burial. However, Necrovarus' notes states that this is factually incorrect, although it is nevertheless believed by many on Gielinor. As Zamorak claimed in a God Letter, the God of Order deals with prayers, "so when you give dead creatures / people an honourable burial in his name it makes him pay closer attention to you, and help you out in little ways that Guthix won't notice." Initially, it was believed that prayers are aligned specifically with Saradomin, and there are those on Gielinor who believed that prayers are a response from Saradomin. Prayer is difficult to train in free-to-play because the greatest renewable source of prayer experience is big bones, which give only 15 experience when buried.

Demon ashes can be obtained by killing demons or by taking demon ash drops that other players leave behind. Bones can be obtained by killing various creatures, by taking bone drops that other players leave behind, or by collecting the bones that spawn in various places, such as in parts of the Edgeville Dungeon or at the Chaos Temple in the southern Wilderness. For wealthier members, reinforced dragon bones are a quick and easy way to reach level 99 Prayer, while semi-prosperous players can still level up with dragon bones. However, for RuneScape members, using bones or ashes on a gilded altar in a player-owned house's Chapel is more efficient. The main free-to-play ways to train prayer are to bury bones and scatter demonic ashes. Therefore, leveling up in Prayer may result in a higher combat level. Prayer is classified as a combat skill and is factored into the combat level formula. Prayer is currently one of the quickest skills to achieve skill mastery in, as it is possible to reach level 99 in just a few days using the appropriate bones and methods however, quickly training prayer tends to be expensive compared to other skills. Some of the strongest prayers are only available after doing certain members' quests or activities. As players traverse the land and complete many adventures, they find themselves presented with the opportunity to gain the prayers and blessings from various schools of thought represented by different gods. As a player's Prayer level increases, they gain access to new prayers. All players start with limited access to the Prayer skill. Prayer is a combat skill that grants the player specialised buffs in combat by evoking the power of the dead.
