A gilded altar can be built in the altar space of the chapel in a player-owned house. It requires 75 Construction to build and gives 2,230 experience when built. The player must have a hammer and a saw in their inventory to build it.

It gives 250% Prayer experience when a bone is used with it. With one incense burner lit, it gives 300% Prayer experience per bone. When both are lit, it gives 350% Prayer experience. When offering bones on the altar, and both burners are lit, you will receive a game message in the chat interface saying, "The gods are very pleased with your offering". In contrast, when both burners are not lit, it says "The gods are pleased with your offering", omitting the word "very". Any type of incense burners can be used to gain the same amount of experience, provided that they are lit with marrentill herbs.

It can be built as early as level 67 by using a crystal saw (+3 boost to level) and orange spicy stew with three doses of orange spice (+5). However this could be difficult to achieve due to the random boost that the orange spicy stew provides. An option with guaranteed success requires 69 Construction and a player-owned house tea (+3) (from teak shelves 2) which, combined with the crystal saw, gives a total boost of +6.

Rimmington and Yanille on World 330 also often host open altars, so this world is commonly used for training Prayer. It is easier and faster to use the Rimmington house portal, as players can get bones un-noted by Phials in the general store just south of the portal, for 5 for each noted item.

Note that Ironmen cannot visit another player's house unless this player is part of their Group Ironman group. Due to its high cost, high Construction requirement, and little benefit over more accessible methods, Ironmen are advised to either use the Chaos Altar in the Wilderness (dangerous, gives 350% XP but with a 50% chance to not consume the bones, resulting in an effective 700% XP) or the libation bowl instead (safe, gives roughly 70% of Chaos Altar rates, but requires blessing/chiselling bones into shards and making blessed sunfire wine).
