Claim the Ash Sanctifier from Tyss
Once you’ve completed the Hard Kourend & Kebos Diary, head to the Dark Altar in the Arceuus House of Great Kourend. Speak to Tyss, an NPC located near the altar, to claim your Ash Sanctifier. If you lose the item, you can reclaim it from Tyss at no cost, provided you haven’t misplaced it in the Wilderness above level 20.
How to Charge and Use the Ash Sanctifier
After obtaining the Ash Sanctifier, you need to charge it with death runes to activate its functionality. Here’s how to set it up and use it effectively.
Charging the Ash Sanctifier
- Death Runes: Each death rune provides 10 charges, with a maximum capacity of 2,147,483,647 charges.
- Cost: As of 2025, death runes cost around 182 coins each, making each charge approximately 18.20 coins.
- Charging Process: Right-click the Ash Sanctifier in your bank and select “Configure-Charges” to add death runes. Be cautious, as using a stack of death runes will consume the entire stack without a prompt.
- Uncharging: You can uncharge the item to retrieve unused death runes.
Using the Ash Sanctifier
Carry the charged Ash Sanctifier in your inventory while fighting demonic creatures. When a monster drops demonic ashes (e.g., fiendish, vile, or infernal ashes), the Sanctifier automatically scatters them, consuming one charge per ash. The Prayer experience depends on the ash type and your diary progress:
| Ash Type | Monsters | Prayer XP (Hard Diary) | Prayer XP (Elite Diary) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fiendish Ashes | Imps, Fiends | 5 XP | 10 XP |
| Vile Ashes | Hellhounds, Lesser Demons | 12.5 XP | 25 XP |
| Abyssal Ashes | Abyssal Demons, Abyssal Sire | 42.5 XP | 85 XP |
| Infernal Ashes | Cerberus, K’ril Tsutsaroth | 55 XP | 110 XP |
Tip: Toggle the Sanctifier’s effect off for tasks like Nechryael, where spawns consume charges quickly with low XP returns.
Tips for Efficient Use of the Ash Sanctifier
Maximizing the Ash Sanctifier’s potential requires strategic planning. Here are some tips to get the most out of this item:
Best Slayer Tasks for the Ash Sanctifier
- Abyssal Demons: Drop abyssal ashes (85 XP with Elite Diary), ideal for high XP rates.
- Demonic Gorillas: Drop malicious ashes (65 XP with Elite Diary), great for combined combat and Prayer training.
- Hellhounds: Drop vile ashes (25 XP with Elite Diary), suitable for mid-level players.
Combine with Other Prayer Items
The Ash Sanctifier pairs well with items like the Bonecrusher for bone-dropping monsters or the Ectoplasmator for spectral creatures. For example, using the Bonecrusher in the Catacombs of Kourend restores Prayer points, complementing the Sanctifier’s passive XP.
Avoid Overusing Charges
Be mindful of tasks with high ash drops but low XP, like Nechryael spawns. Consider using the Demonic Offering spell (requires 84 Magic) for better XP rates on infernal or abyssal ashes, especially if you’re banking them.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
While the Ash Sanctifier is straightforward, players often make errors that reduce its efficiency. Here’s what to watch out for:
Misplacing the Sanctifier
If you can’t find your Ash Sanctifier, check your bank, Death’s Domain, or the Lost Property Shop. If lost in the Wilderness above level 20, it’s gone, but you can reclaim a new one from Tyss.
Overcharging with Death Runes
Using a large stack of death runes without specifying the amount can consume the entire stack. Always charge incrementally to avoid wasting runes.
Using on Low-Value Ashes
Avoid using the Sanctifier on fiendish ashes (from imps), as the 5-10 XP per ash is not worth the charge cost compared to higher-value ashes like infernal or abyssal.
By following this guide, you’ll be well on your way to unlocking and mastering the Ash Sanctifier in OSRS. Complete the Kourend & Kebos Diary, claim your reward from Tyss, and start training Prayer effortlessly while slaying demons. Happy adventuring in Gielinor!
