An altar is an interactive piece of scenery which allows a player to recharge their Prayer points. To pray at an altar, you must left click on the altar, or right click and select the 'pray-at' option. Your character will kneel by the altar and your prayer points will be recharged. To locate an altar, look for the altar icon () on the World map or Minimap.
