Dragon bones are associated with the Prayer skill, and are dropped by all adult dragons. They give 72 Prayer experience when buried (60 experience on RuneScape Classic). Processing these bones at the Ectofuntus gives 288 Prayer experience and offering these bones at a Gilded altar with 2 burners lit rewards the player with 252 Prayer experience. Because of the relative ease of collecting dragon bones, combined with the amount of experience earned from them, they are widely viewed as a quick way to a high Prayer level. It is recommended that you use these bones on a 2-burners-lit Gilded altar as soon as your prayer reaches 40 or higher, as this is a much more cost effective and faster way of getting Prayer experience.

Players can get Dragon Bones as a reward from the Soul Wars minigame by selecting the 'Gamble' option when choosing rewards. If a player gets Dragon Bones, they will likely be in multiples of 11.

[edit] Tips

• There is a wide range of Dragons that drop bones. Most dragons are strong opponents. The main exceptions are Green dragons and Blue dragons.
• Green dragons are the lowest level dragons in the game. They can be found in various places in the wilderness (be wary as Revenant Orks usually pass by this area). The Chaos tunnels also have two locations with Green dragons. Instead of revenants, the Green dragons here are grouped together with Baby black dragons.
• The value of a dragon drop (bone plus hide) makes it a highly profitable combat activity.
• Dragon bones are used in the Watchtower quest.
• Baby dragons do not drop dragon bones. Instead, they drop Babydragon bones.
