An altar is an interactive piece of scenery which allows a player to recharge their Prayer points. To pray at an altar, you must left click on the altar, or right click and select the Pray or Pray-at option. Your character will kneel by the altar and your prayer points will be recharged. To locate an altar, look for the altar icon (
) on the World map or Minimap. A player will receive the message, "You fear the wrath of the gods!" if the player uses an object on an altar that does not create an interaction, similarly to the message, "Nothing interesting happens."
