Last Updated on May 26, 2026 by Samuel Franklin

This prayer guide explains the complex use cases of World 3 prayers and the best ones for different character activities from the 19 options. Use this page to optimise your characters and determine which prayers to level up with worship souls.

Best Prayers – Prayer Use Cases

Note there is a Gaming Superbit upgrade called “No More Praying” that gives 1/5th the bonus of all prayers and a Duperbit upgrade called “Prayers Begone” that gives 2/5th the bonus when no prayers are equipped. While these also remove curses I don’t recommend using these as every activity has at least one strong prayer that is better to use with the curse.

Prayer	Bonus (Unlock Source)	Unlock	Used For
Big Brain Time	Bonus: +% Class EXP Curse: +% Max HP for all monsters	Goblin Gorefest Wave 10	Class EXP – Has some limited uses with active classes where the extra enemy health doesn’t impact your kill speed. The class EXP is only a small boost compared to other game sources though.
Skilled Dimwit	Bonus: +% Skill Efficiency Curse: -% Skill EXP Gain	Goblin Gorefest Wave 25	Skilling – A core skilling talent for 3D printer samples or AFK resource farming. This prayer is also powerful for the World 4 Laboratory and World 7 Spelunking as the extra efficiency will increase experience gain despite the curse.
Unending Energy	Bonus: +% Class and Skill EXP Curse: Max AFK time is now 10 hours. Use with caution	Goblin Gorefest Wave 51	Class & Skill EXP – A dangerous prayer if you forget to take this off but useful for the extra class and skill experience boost if checking the game (or using Time Candy) for 10 hours or less.
Shiny Snitch	Bonus: Shiny Critters drop in bundles of x instead of 1. Curse: Your Shiny chance is now x lower.	Goblin Gorefest Wave 81	Shiny Critter Farming – A necessary prayer to farm shiny critters from World 3 Trapping as this allows for traps to give more than 1 shiny critter per claim. Only use this when you have high shiny chance and need them for anvil recipes. Must be equipped on the character collecting traps.
Zero Rushogen	Bonus: +% AFK Gain Rate Curse: -% Carry Capacity	Goblin Gorefest Wave 121	AFK Combat & Skilling – Once this prayer is unlocked use it always for the extra AFK gains with only a small curse in the late game when carry capacity is high.
Tachion of the Titans	Bonus: Giant Monsters can now spawn on Monster Kill Curse: Giant Monsters can now spawn…	Wakawaka War Wave 11	Active Combat – Always used when in active combat as this can spawn giant monsters for Gems and Time Candy. The chance to spawn giants decreases each time one spawns and resets weekly.
Balance of Precision	Bonus: +% Total Accuracy Curse: -% Total Damage	Wakawaka War Wave 11	Not Used – There are plenty of accuracy sources available in Idleon that can be used rather than reducing your damage with this prayer.
Midas Minded	Bonus: +% Drop Rate Curse: +% Max HP for all monsters	Wakawaka War Wave 71	Combat & Skilling – Used often in combat and skilling as the extra drop rate is important for rare drops and card farming. Also great for bosses as the curse does not apply to boss HP. Don’t use if trying to maximise kills such as Deathnote farming or progressing maps though.
Jawbreaker	Bonus: +% Coins from Monsters Curse: +% Max HP for all monsters	Wakawaka War Wave 101	Money Farming – When farmining for money actively (e.g. Divine Knight or Bubonic Conjuror) this is a notable boost provided it doesn’t impact your ability to kill the monsters quickly.
The Royal Sampler	Bonus: +% 3d Printer Sample Size Curse: -% All Exp Gain. Remove all samples to Unequip	Acorn Assault Wave 21	All Prints – In the early game the extra printer sample size is invaluable to reach the 90% cap. Don’t be afraid of the negative EXP as its additive so only a small overall loss. Level 10 is a good initial level to balance the benefit and curse as that is enough with other initial printing sources to reach 90%. Eventually this can be removed after you can reach 90% sample rate without the prayer.
Antifun Spirit	Bonus: +% Minigame Reward Multi Curse: Minigames cost x plays per attempt	Acorn Assault Wave 41	Not Used – Even at level 1 players need to have purchased minigame plays from the Gem Shop to use this prayer which are not worthwhile.
Circular Criticals	Bonus: +% Critical Hit Chance Curse: -% Critical Damage	Acorn Assault Wave 71	Active Combat – This has some niche uses in active combat when you are just below the 100% critical chance to activate the Mega Crit special talent. As these mega crits are so powerful it can offset the curse but stop using this prayer once over 100% critical chance without it.
Ruck Sack	Bonus: +% Carry Capacity Curse: -% AFK Gain Rate	Acorn Assault Wave 111	Active Combat & Stamp Levels – Massive boost to carry capacity this is used so you can active combat longer and reach stamp levels that would be impossible otherwise as the curse does not have an impact in these situations.
Fibers of Absence	Bonus: +% Kills for Deathnote and opening portals Curse: -% Total Damage	Frosty Firefight Wave 21	Niche AFK Combat – I recommend players ignore this prayer for simplicity. Min-max players can use this in the rare instance you can’t reach another multikill tier to increase deathnote/portal kills but the curse doesn’t result in dropping a multikill tier (use the AFK info screen). It can also be used by end game players that have reached the max multikill tier of 51 such as Green Mushroom farming.
Vacuous Tissue	Bonus: +100% Dungeon Credits and Flurbos from Boosted Runs Curse: Use 2x Dungeon Passes per run	Frosty Firefight Wave 51	Party Dungeons – Always use if you have the dungeon passes as it doubles rewards. Do not use if you do not have the double dungeon passes necessary for your boosted run as it will take all your dungeon passes and not count as a boosted run.
Beefy for Real	Bonus: +% Total Damage Curse: -% Total Defence and Accuracy	Frosty Firefight Wave 121	AFK Combat – Provides a small damage boost that might add another multikill tier when you have an abundance of defence and accuracy that the curse is not a factor.
Balance of Pain	Bonus: +% Multikill per Damage Tier Curse: -% Total Defence and Accuracy	Clash of Cans Wave 21	AFK Combat – Another core prayer for the boost to multikill for higher kill counts. By the time you unlock this prayer the curse should not be a significant factor but turn on/off as needed to your account.
Balance of Proficiency	Bonus: +% Skill EXP Gain Curse: -% Skill Efficiency	Clash of Cans Wave 51	Skilling – An useful prayer to reaching higher skilling levels on all characters either when AFK or using Time Candy. Not used otherwise as the loss of efficiency curse is substantial.
Glitterbug	Bonus: +% chance for Giant Mobs to summon 2 Crystal Mobs Curse: Giant Mobs are % less likely to spawn.	Clash of Cans Wave 131	Wind Walker – Only used after your weekly reset on the Wind Walker class as this allows you to spawn crystal mobs in Tempest Form for the Medallions which do not spawn otherwise.
