Dragon bones are bones dropped by most adult dragons, which give 72 Prayer experience when buried. This can be increased by offering the bones in different ways:
- 252 XP when offered at a gilded altar with two burners lit or at the Chaos Temple.
- 288 XP when offered at the Ectofuntus in the form of dragon bonemeal.
The relative ease of collecting dragon bones, combined with the amount of experience earned from them, makes them widely viewed as a fast, cost-effective way to train Prayer.
Almost all dragons, with the exception of baby dragons and lava dragons, drop dragon bones. Dragon bones can also be obtained in noted forms from certain non-draconic creatures.
