Dragon bones are associated with the Prayer skill, and are dropped by most adult dragons. Dragon bones give 72 Prayer experience when buried.

Members can also 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 noted in quantities of 11 or 22.

Baby dragons do not drop dragon bones. Instead, they drop baby dragon bones.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Dragon bones became available to free-to-play players on 29 February 2016 but could not be buried until 9 October 2017.
A player choosing to use dragon bones all the way from 1-99 Prayer, using a gilded altar with lit burners and no other experience boosts, would spend 95,792,724 coins if all bones were bought at the current price on the Grand Exchange.
- Using the ectofuntus would cost 83,818,633 coins, but would take far longer to do. Simply burying the bones would cost 335,274,531 coins.
