Overview of Dagannoth Bones (Blessed)
Dagannoth bones (blessed) are a special type of bone obtained from dagannoths, a type of enemy in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). These bones are considered rare and have a unique status compared to regular dagannoth bones. When blessed, they gain additional value, both in terms of prayer experience and market demand. Players often seek these bones for their benefits in training prayer, as well as their potential to be used in various profitable ventures.
Obtaining Dagannoth Bones (Blessed)
To acquire blessed dagannoth bones, players must kill any type of dagannoth, including:
- Dagannoth: The standard variant found on Waterbirth Island.
- Dagannoth Prime: The magic-based boss in the Dagannoth Kings trio.
- Dagannoth Rex: A melee variant and another boss of the Dagannoth Kings.
- Dagannoth Supreme: The ranged variant among the Dagannoth Kings.
Once killed, players can bless the bones by utilizing the ‘Bless’ option if they have completed the Animal Magnetism quest and possess a blessing item, such as a holy symbol. This exclusive blessing process elevates the bones into their more desirable state.
Benefits of Using Dagannoth Bones (Blessed)
The primary allure of blessed dagannoth bones lies in their capacity to provide an ample amount of prayer experience. When buried, these bones yield a total of 30 prayer experience, making them significantly more beneficial than their regular counterparts, which only offer 15 experience. The advantages include:
- Efficient Prayer Training: Players can effectively train their prayer skill with a limited number of bones.
- Market Value: Blessed bones often command a higher price on the Grand Exchange, providing potential profit for players.
- High Demand: Due to their dual purpose, they are frequently sought after, particularly during events boosting prayer training.
