Rigour is a forgotten prayer requiring 74 Prayer and 70 Defence to use. It boosts Ranged Attack by 20%, Ranged Strength by 23%, and Defence by 25%.

To unlock Rigour, players must obtain a dexterous prayer scroll which is a tradeable reward from the Chambers of Xeric (costing 19,036,712 on the Grand Exchange). Reading the scroll will present an option to unlock the prayer.

The dexterous and arcane scrolls were further made twice as common.

26 January 2017
(Update)

The dexterous prayer scroll was further split to exclude Augury (now unlocked via arcane prayer scroll) so that the cost to unlock the Augury prayer would not be tied to the much higher cost to unlock Rigour.

12 January 2017
(Update)
  • The dexterous prayer scroll was split to exclude Preserve (now unlocked via torn prayer scroll) so that the cost to unlock the Preserve prayer would not be tied to the much higher cost to unlock the other two prayers.
  • The prayer icon was graphically updated.
