If you want the absolute fastest route to stock up on prayer potions, buy them off the Grand Exchange and call it a day. I usually throw up a bulk buy offer and let the market do the heavy lifting—it's instantaneous once the orders fill and you can start using or reselling them right away. This method costs GP, obviously, but when I'm prepping for a boss trip or long PK session I value time over a few thousand coins.
If you want to make them yourself to save money, the quickest player-driven method is to focus on herb supply chains: grind herb runs (with supercompost and magic secateurs), use your kingdom management for steady herb income, or buy cheap grimy herbs in bulk and clean them. Then use Herblore to combine the cleaned herbs with the right secondary ingredient and make prayer potions in batches—banking every so often, using noted items where possible. I pair this with a bit of GE watching: when herbs dip in price I buy big and make a stack. It’s not as instant as buying finished potions, but if you like crafting and want long-term savings, it’s satisfying and efficient. Personally, I usually mix both tactics depending on my schedule and how lazy I feel before a raid night.

After poking through my quest log and a couple of community guides, I can confidently say: no Old School RuneScape quests require a 'binding necklace' to complete. It’s not listed as a mandatory quest item on the official quest pages or on well-known guides, so you won’t be blocked from finishing any quest because you don’t have one.
If you’ve been holding onto one thinking a particular quest needs it, you can relax — most quest item lists are pretty explicit about what’s required, and the usual suspects (like special keys, talismans, or enchanted items) are the ones that actually show up. I’d stash the necklace or sell it if you don’t want the inventory clutter, but it won’t gate any storyline progress. Personally, I always double-check the quest start page or a trusted wiki just to be safe, but in this case it’s a non-issue for me.

Back in my grind-heavy days I leaned on Prayer potions like they were tiny lifelines, and here's the lowdown in plain terms.
A Prayer potion restores your Prayer points when you drink a dose. The amount restored per sip is 7 plus 25% of your Prayer level (rounded down), so higher Prayer gives bigger heals. It cannot push your current Prayer points above your maximum (your Prayer level), and each potion has multiple doses (4-dose, 3-dose, etc.), so you sip several times during a boss trip or long task. In 'Old School RuneScape' players use them to keep protection prayers, offensive prayers like 'Piety', or simply to top up during long fights.
Practical tip from personal experience: if you only need Prayer top-ups and aren’t worried about lowering stats, Prayer potions are cheaper and more direct than 'super restore' for many activities. I still pack a few whenever I plan to abuse Protect from Melee or stay on a prayer-heavy rotation—tiny bottle, big difference.

All right — here's the straightforward way I talk myself through making Prayer potions in 'Old School RuneScape', the way I explain it to friends when we’re grouping up for a Herblore session.
First, get the clean herb you need and a vial of water. In general Herblore workflow you use a clean herb on the vial to create an unfinished potion, then use the correct secondary ingredient on that unfinished potion to finish it into a Prayer potion. If you’re not 100% sure which herb or secondary item is required (the game lists it in the Herblore skill interface), check the in-game Herblore tab or the wiki — they’ll tell you the herb name, the level needed, and the XP you get. I usually buy my herbs on the Grand Exchange in bulk, clean them all at once, then make the unfinished potions and finish them in batches.
A few practical tips I always mention: make them near a bank for fast banking and stacking, use a noted-herb supply if you’re buying, and plan the volume you want to make so you don’t waste inventory space. I like to do a few thousand at a time if I’m training or just make a stack if I’m brewing for trips — feels satisfying every time I click through a successful batch.

Price-wise, prayer potions in OSRS usually sit in a pretty predictable band, but they do wiggle depending on patches and PvM demand. Right now I’d say a four-dose Prayer potion commonly trades for roughly 700–900 gp on the Grand Exchange most days. That means a single dose works out to about 175–225 gp if you break the math down, though prices occasionally dip below 600 gp or spike past 1,000 gp during hot weekends or new boss metas.
I tend to watch these for a few hours before I buy — if I need a stack for a team trip I’ll buy in bulk when the price is soft, and if I’m crafting I’ll compare the herb/bottle costs versus the GE price. Flipping small lots can be decent if you’ve got patience and buy limits under control; otherwise it’s a handy, affordable boost for any prayer-heavy activity. Personally I like having a few hundred doses on hand because nothing ruins a boss trip like running out of prayer, so I usually load up when prices look calm.

Can't beat the Grand Exchange for convenience, but there are a few little tricks I use to shave off coins when buying prayer potions in 'Old School RuneScape'. First, set a buy offer slightly below the current market buy price instead of instantly buying from the GE sell offers — patience usually gets you cheaper fills. Use a price tracker (I keep a small window on my screen) to spot dips; items swing a lot during different hours and days.
If you're willing to put in a tiny bit of effort, I often compare the total cost of buying herbs and secondary ingredients and making the potions via Herblore versus buying finished potions. For me that method often ends up cheaper when buying in bulk because you avoid merchant spreads. Finally, check community channels and low-population trade worlds for players selling stacks directly — sometimes people offload stock for quicker cash. With these habits I commonly cut costs by a noticeable margin, and it feels great to stretch my bank out a bit further.

Totally hooked on the little mysteries of the map, I’ve noticed that not every fairy ring is just a free teleport—some sit inside regions that are locked behind quests. From my experience, the clearest ones that require quest completion are: Canifis area (you need to have done 'Priest in Peril' to access Morytania), the Mort Myre/Mort'ton swamp ring (requires 'Nature Spirit' to fully access the swamp), Keldagrim (you’ll need 'The Giant Dwarf' to properly enter the city), and Shilo Village (you need the 'Shilo Village' quest to reach that village without unusual detours).
On top of those, a handful of rings land you inside other quest-gated places—Ape Atoll teleports are only useful after 'Monkey Madness I' because of how the island works, and some rings drop you into areas near Trollheim or other high-level zones where having completed 'Troll Stronghold' or related quests makes life a lot easier. If you wander into one of those rings without the quest done, you might be stuck or forced to use a longer route.
Personally I always plan my route around which quests I’ve finished; unlocking a few of those quests turns fairy rings from convenient shortcuts into absolute game-changers, and I love that feeling of suddenly opening up a whole chunk of the map.

I still get a kick out of packing my rune pouch before a long questing session. In my runs I treat law runes like tiny travel tickets: OSRS rarely lists law runes as a literal quest item you must hand in, but it absolutely relies on them whenever the quest forces or strongly expects you to cast a standard teleport spell (Varrock, Camelot, Falador, etc.). So instead of a strict checklist of quests that 'require' law runes as inventory items, think in terms of teleport-reliant quests.
Practical examples from my quest log where you either must or will very likely need law runes: 'Desert Treasure' (getting around the desert and to remote puzzle areas), 'Mourning's End Part I' (shortcuts and escapes), 'Regicide' (fast travel around the tree line can save you a lot of time), and several of the elven quests like 'Roving Elves' or 'Song of the Elves' segments where teleport access matters. If a quest text tells you to teleport to a city or location, bring law runes or teleport tablets — they’re the backbone of getting places quickly. Personally, I never start a mid-to-high-level quest without at least a few dozen law runes in my pouch; it's saved me more than once and keeps the run smooth.

I got into this because I wanted every advantage for bossing in 'Old School RuneScape' and the short, fun truth is: yes — you can absolutely use prayer and a super combat potion at the same time. I usually pop a super combat before a big fight to boost my Attack, Strength and Defence, then flick on melee prayers like 'Piety' or 'Chivalry' to add another layer of damage and accuracy. They don’t conflict; the potion changes your boosted skill levels and the prayer applies its bonus on top of that, so you end up hitting harder and taking slightly less damage.
That said, mixing the two means you’ll be burning through prayer points faster, especially if you keep protection prayers up. In longer fights I carry prayer restoration items — typically prayer potions or super restores — and I’ll plan my potion timing around brews and restores if I’m doing tanking or high-sustain fights. In short: combo away, but bring enough prayer supplies and time your reboosts. It feels great to see the numbers climb when both are active, honestly.

To craft the onyx amulet in 'Old School RuneScape' (OSRS), you're going to need to tackle a few quests and requirements. First up is the need for an onyx gem, which can be found as a drop from certain monsters or purchased from other players. But let's not get ahead of ourselves! You'll need to have at least level 70 Crafting, which is no small feat. If you're not there yet, consider crafting emeralds or rubies to level up your skills.
Now, as for quests, the 'Aerial Fishing' and 'Shilo Village' quests can give you experience that might aid in grinding your way to level 70 Crafting. There's also the 'Rum Deal' quest, which while not directly related to amulet crafting, gives good Crafting experience and is a fun distraction. You’ll also want to have the 'Fremennik Trials' quest completed, as this quest unlocks access to the Fremennik Isles, where you can find some useful crafting resources.
Finally, you'll need to use a furnace to craft the amulet, so you'll want to be familiar with smithing levels and locations. Overall, it's quite a journey, but the onyx amulet is a fantastic addition to your collection once it's crafted! It’s a proud moment when you finally wear your hard-earned creation.
