Chewed bones are obtained exclusively as a drop from mithril dragons in the Ancient Cavern at a rate of 3/128. No other monsters in the Ancient Cavern will drop chewed bones, and looting the skeletons won't give chewed bones either (only mangled bones). The bones can be burnt on a pyre ship for rewards, including the dragon full helm.

Burning chewed bones on a pyre ship constructed with magic logs is a requirement for the elite Kandarin Diary; using another type of log will not complete the task.

Mechanics

When these bones are put on a pyre ship and burnt (requires a tinderbox, axe, and any type of log excluding blisterwood, jatoba, and pyre logs), they will summon a peaceful barbarian spirit, who will reward the player with various items. These items include the dragon full helm, various potions, runes, or projectile ammunition. Players may kill mithril dragons in the hopes of obtaining a dragon full helm drop; if unsuccessful, they can take any gained chewed bones to be burned in a pyre ship for another chance at gaining a dragon full helm. Note that using higher-level logs does not increase chances of receiving a dragon full helm.

An ancient barbarian spirit being laid to rest.

Burning chewed bones via a pyre ship provides a 3x experience bonus to the next few bones buried, including those buried by the bonecrusher, with the amount varying by which logs are burnt. The player will receive a message saying, You gain extra prayer experience as the ancestral barbarian spirits watch over you. This bonus accumulates and is not lost upon death. A player can have a maximum of 200 stored instances of 3x experience from burning chewed bones before they won't receive any more.[1] The bonus does not apply when burying the bones from the Hopespear's Will miniquest, nor does it apply to giant bones and bull bones.
