Retribution is a prayer that, if active at the time of a player's death, will damage any monsters or players in adjacent squares for up to 25% of the dead player's prayer level. For example, if a player died with a prayer level of 80 and the Retribution prayer active, the damage dealt would go up to 20. The most damage that can be done using this prayer is 25 with a prayer level of 99, with a Prayer skill cape. This prayer is the slowest draining prayer that is visible to other players when active.
This prayer is extremely useful in the Bounty Hunter PvP Wilderness, and can allow for mutual targets to kill each other simultaneously, generating drops for both combatants. This is best accomplished by lowering each player's health to a low level, then fighting each other using protect from melee and unarmed attacked to insure as little HP remains when the prayer activates for the dying player.
[edit] Trivia
- This prayer is also commonly used in riots, most notably the 14 hour riot, Mod Hasmo Riot, and the Pay to PK Riot, to show their anger.
- There was an update to this prayer that made the projectiles from Retribution go much faster. Before this, the projectiles could be avoided with relative ease.
- There is a glitch as of 25 March 2009. Some players will notice that retribution is coloured in even if your Prayer level is below 45. Also, free players could use this prayer. The glitch is now fixed.
