Soul Extractor: Free Prayer XP while training on Sulphur Lizards

Key Details: 

A Soul Wars reward; you can earn enough for it (250 Zeal Tokens) in an hour. It restores 20% of damage dealt to Spectral monsters as Prayer points. 

Following the Varlamore update, Sulphur Lizards became the best training monsters in the game; using this item grants 550,000 free Prayer XP for every melee stat you train to 99. 

Maxing all three melee stats unlocks all Prayer levels for free, saving you 10-15 million GP on bones.

Best For: 

Any player training combat stats. It's free Prayer XP-why pass it up?

Yak-hide Chaps: 40-tier Ranged accuracy with only 20 Defence required

Key Details: 

They offer 2 more Ranged accuracy than Green Dragonhide Chaps but require only 20 Defence (compared to the 40 Ranged requirement for Green D'hide). 

A hidden gem for early-to-mid-game Ranged players; it's essentially free Tier-40 gear with maxed-out accuracy.

Best For: 

Early-to-mid-game Ranged players. Cheap, effective, and incredible value for money.

Fury Amulet (or similar) / Ring of Suffering (Imbued): The true "Best-in-Slot" ring for fighting Vyrewatch Sentinels

Key Details: 

An enchanted ring costing 3,000 GP that boosts damage against Vampyres by 10% and accuracy by 15%. 

It stacks with the Black Mask, making it even stronger than the ultimate rings when fighting Vyrewatch Sentinels. 

The only downside is it has only 200 charges-burning through 5-6 rings an hour-but the damage boost is undeniable. It might become even more valuable after the future Vampyrium update.

Best For: 

Players farming Sentinels or doing Vampyre-related quests. Small investment, huge payoff. 

Bone Dagger: A 50k GP "Bandos Godsword" alternative-guaranteed hit + 75% defense reduction spec.

Key Highlights: 

Usable after completing *Death to the Dorgeshaan*. Its special attack reduces the target's defense by 75% and guarantees a hit on the first strike. 

It is incredibly effective against high-defense monsters like those in the Chambers of Xeric. 

Until you get a Bandos Godsword, this is the best defense-reducing weapon available.

Best For: 

Mid-to-low-level players lacking defense-reduction options. Ridiculously cheap, yet highly effective.

Bone Necklace: The hidden "Best-in-Slot" (BiS) necklace for Ranged players.

Key Highlights:

Offers the highest Prayer bonus of any necklace in the game. It matches the accuracy of the Necklace of Anguish (making it functionally equivalent for Ranged) while providing 7 extra Prayer points. W

hen paired with the Bonecrusher during Blowpipe Slayer tasks, your Prayer becomes essentially self-sustaining. It is a top-tier choice for pure Ranged bosses like the Inferno and Leviathan.

Best For: 

Ranged and Blowpipe users. Say goodbye to Prayer potion worries.

Forgotten Brew: A 2k GP budget alternative to the Imbued Heart.

Key Highlights: 

A Magic-boosting potion that rivals the Imbued Heart while also restoring a small amount of Prayer. The trade-off is a reduction in Attack, Strength, and Defense stats. 

When paired with Super Restores and a Powered Staff (like the Trident), it offers incredible value for bosses like Zulrah, Skotizo, and the Kraken. A massive money-saver for mid-game mages.

Best For: 

Mid-game mages. Save a fortune.

Granite Maul (G-Maul): A 3.3m GP "Best-in-Slot" weapon for Grotesque Guardians and Gargoyles.

Key Highlights: 

Features the "Golem Bane" passive (added in 2025), granting +30% damage and +30% accuracy against golem-type monsters. 

It is surpassed only by the Scythe of Vitur-a weapon costing 1.4 billion GP-when fighting Grotesque Guardians and Gargoyles. 

Buying a BiS weapon for 3.3m that pays for itself in just two hours of combat is an absolute steal.

Best For: 

Players farming Grotesque Guardians and Gargoyles. The king of cost-efficiency.

Bloodbark Set: Ahrim's gear that doesn't degrade-all for 400k GP.

Key Highlights: 

The three-piece set offers a built-in 1% Magic damage boost and does not degrade, costing only 400k GP in total. 

It performs almost identically to Ahrim's for Barrows and Zulrah, saving you a fortune on repair costs. 

It looks even cooler-a "three-in-one" package that offers high performance, cost-efficiency, and great aesthetics.

Best for: 

Mid-to-high-level Magic players. A perfect, cost-effective alternative to Ahrim's gear.

Tips:

Prioritize getting the Soul-in-a-box; you can train Prayer while training combat-it's essentially zero-cost.

Don't forget to charge your Amulet of Fury (or similar); it consumes 5 charges per hour, so factor that into your costs.

Use the Granite Maul only against Golems; other monsters don't trigger its passive effect.

Bloodbark armor doesn't degrade; the long-term savings far exceed the cost of Ahrim's gear.

Key Benefits: Hardcore players save tens of millions with this gear; casual players achieve high-end DPS on a budget; and players short on time can buy cheap OSRS gold at RSorder to level up quickly, amass the gold needed for these powerful items, and focus on actually enjoying the game!
