Experiment bone
The Experiment bone is a unique item obtained by defeating the Experiments, a type of reanimated monster found in the depths of the Asgarnian Dungeon. These creatures are the result of a failed attempt at creating a more powerful undead minion, and they possess an intriguing connection to the lore surrounding necromancy in Gielinor. When looted from an Experiment, this bone serves as a valuable resource for players seeking to enhance their Prayer experience, making it a sought-after item among those training this skill.
When buried at a gilded altar, the Experiment bone provides a notable amount of Prayer experience, which can be particularly advantageous for players looking to level up efficiently. Its distinct appearance, marked by dark and twisted features, reflects the eerie nature of its origins. As players engage with the Experiments, they not only face a formidable foe but also have the opportunity to collect this mysterious bone, weaving their own tale into the rich tapestry of Old School RuneScape’s history.

Overview of Experiment Bone
The Experiment Bone is a unique item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), primarily associated with the Experiment creatures found in the Experiment Cave. It serves a distinctive role in the game, appealing to those engaged in combat training and prayer skills. When dropped by an Experiment, it can be used as a valuable resource for players looking to boost their prayer levels.
How to Obtain Experiment Bones
Experiment Bones are dropped exclusively by the Experiments in the Experiment Cave. These creatures are a popular target due to their manageable combat level and the benefits they provide. To obtain these bones, players should:
- Travel to the Experiment Cave located near Framnik.

Each Experiment has a high drop rate for the bones, making them a reliable source for players looking to train their Prayer skill.
Uses of Experiment Bone

This experience gain is beneficial for players looking to reach higher prayer levels efficiently. Additionally, players can use these bones at an altar to receive greater XP, making them valuable for both early and late-game players.
Combat Strategies Against Experiments
When engaging Experiments, players should consider several strategies to maximize efficiency and minimize damage taken:
- Gear Selection: Wear equipment that enhances your combat style, focusing on strength or magic bonuses.

- Food and Potions: Carry high-healing food and potions to sustain health during longer fights.
Combining these strategies can help players farm Experiment Bones more effectively, allowing for increased training and resource gathering.

This value can change based on the overall economy of the game, so players should keep an eye on market trends for the best selling opportunities.
