Since the quest guide is not real clear on where the prayer exp comes from when doing Ghosts Ahoy, can anyone suggest the fastest way to use the ectofungus for the exp?

Thanks.

Fastest way is using glories and ectopial. Grab 9 pots, 9 buckets and 9 bones. Ectopial tele. Go upstairs and grind your bones. Go downstairs all the way (there is an agility shortcut after you go down the trap door, not sure if its 58 agility but i think it is). Fill your buckets and ectopial to the first floor. Fill the ectopial and use the buckets in the "fontain". Glorie to edge, get more bones and repeat. I think thats the fastest way.

Although I prefer to use the Port Phasmatys bank, ffbf's way seems to be the fastest to me too.

Yes I do the same as ffbf, 9 bones, 9 pots, 9 buckets but prefer to use dueling ring to tele to castle wars bank instead of the glory.

get 100 buckets full of slime, get 100 bone meals, then bring 13 of each pray at alter tele cws and then tele back with more, its easyest to get all your slime at once and all your bone meal at once then just pray after you got it all in bank

Even the shortcuts which I use takes a while...on average, if I do about 200-400 bones it could take three hours. (This is when I ecto'd on a regular basis, by the way.)

You gather both materials first. This means you gather the slime (200-400 buckets) first. Then you do the painstakingly slow process of the bone grinding.

After that is all said and done, you grab your Ghostspeak Amulet, Ectophial, and a Ring of Dueling, and teleport out to Castle Wars. (You can also wear another Ring in case you run out of charges on the first one). You can only withdraw 12 buckets/bonemeal at a time, and they only allow up to 60 ectotokens in the Ectofuntus.

So, all you do is bank at Castle Wars, teleport to the Ectofuntus, worship, bank again. Wash, rinse, repeat until you're done.

You should know that you get 4X the experience per bonemeal than you would the regular bone. Now I'm getting all preachy.

This method would take you three hours to a day, depending on how many bones you have. But it is the fastest way to accumulate total Prayer exp.

Even though I don't do it, I'd think Clay is right.

Get 27 of buckets of slime tele and bank. Grind 27 bones tele and bank. Then echto and pray (13), tele, bank, echto pray(13), repeat. Or Port Phasmatys bank for one of those and do (14).

That would have to be faster than running downstairs for 9 buckets of slime and upstairs for 9 ground bones each trip.

It's probably not any faster, just seems like it... and with the short cut down there, i'm on run all the time and never run out of energy. I've never seen any evidence of it being faster... I do it the 9-9-9 method cause I have no choice. Don't have the extra bank space.

Trust me, Makoto's right, it's faster. It may not be much faster, but it is faster, and it seems faster, meaning you get bored slower. Plus, if you ecto like 400 bones all in a row, it's nice to get multiple levels in one go =p.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I think I might try each of them just to see which I like better.

I ask because I am currently in the process of collecting d-hides and along the way, I'm saving all the d-bones. I saw on the RW calculator the amount of exp when ectoing d-bones and that means that I should go to level 70 prayer with 415 d-bones.

A lot of this depends on what your current prayer level is...

Pest Control, aka, Void Knights...

If you get into a winning team (World 78 has a bunch of winning teams)... and get a point everytime.

You can cash the points in for Prayer Experience.

Experience is based on your current level. At level 74 I get 456 experience points per void point turned in. At level 93 I get 1441 xp.

So the higher your level in Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Magic, Hitpoints, or Prayer is to begin with, the higher the xp reward is.

You decide how boring Ecto is... You might find Pest Control a nice break, and still get quick xp.

Some good insight there but I am not doing any of the new quests until my current goals are complete. My current stats are:


I know Pest Control is good for prayer but as I said, I'm collecting a ton of d-bones on my way to collecting hides for crafting levels so I need to use them and ecto is the way to go for now.
