Variables Explanation
- Target XP Gain: The specific amount of Prayer experience you aim to acquire.
- Blessed Bone Shards: The current amount of shards you have in your inventory or bank.
- Bone Count: The number of un-calcified bones you currently possess.
- Shard Value: The amount of shards produced by one bone (e.g., Dragon Bones = 18 shards).
What is Blessed Bone Shard Calculator?
The Blessed Bone Shard Calculator is an essential tool for OSRS players using the Varlamore Prayer training method. Unlike traditional altar training, this method involves “calcifying” bones into shards and then offering them at the Libation Bowl for a consistent 5 XP per shard.
This calculator helps you bridge the gap between your raw materials (bones) and your ultimate goal (experience), allowing for precise planning of gold-per-XP ratios and time efficiency.
How to Calculate (Example)
- Determine your Bone Type value (e.g., Superior Dragon Bones = 34 shards).
- Multiply the number of bones by the shard value (100 bones × 34 = 3,400 shards).
- Multiply the total shards by 5 to get your XP (3,400 × 5 = 17,000 XP).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the XP rate for Blessed Bone Shards? Each shard offered at the Libation Bowl provides exactly 5 Prayer experience points.
How do I get Blessed Bone Shards? You can obtain them by using a hammer and chisel on bones at a calcifying rock, or as drops from certain Varlamore activities.
Is this method better than the Chaos Altar? While the Chaos Altar offers higher XP per bone, Blessed Bone Shards provide a safer, AFK-friendly alternative within Varlamore.
Do multipliers affect shard XP? The 5 XP per shard is a fixed value at the Libation Bowl, though the number of shards you get per bone depends on your method of calcification.
