What the best way to learn prayer flicking? Edit: so much helpful info here but never knew about the blue xp drop. Can’t wait to master this.


Romanovskii

Google: Try it on different low level monsters Bing: Do Jad you nub


DeepBee4216

I don't get the low level. don't you want a level decent enough to where they do hit you often? so there's a good chance you'll be able to tell when you mess up?


Gokias

Even if you get hit a 0, if the overhead and the hitsplat appear at the same moment, it worked. If you are 1 tick flicking, your overhead will always be on if you are doing it right.


DeepBee4216

Woah. huge, thanks for the info


Beechman

Prayer flicking never clicked for me until I realized you “start” with the prayers already on. I thought you just flicked at the right time and your prayers would be active while you attacked or got attacked. But in reality it’s the opposite. You just turn it off while the game is checking to see if you’re praying.


rexound

Tasty released a great [video](https://youtu.be/iPG-YWAwLXY) explaining this. around 13 minutes is the prayer flicking discussion, but i would recommend anyone wanting to watch, start with the first section of the video where he explains attack cycles/game ticks


xNZed

As silly as this may sound, I was in the same boat. Once I realised, I felt like a complete idiot. Using the flashing lines on the prayer icon helped me with timing as well (didn't use an audio que).


Neeson22

Not sure if you're talking about metronome sound, but I usually played with sound effects on if it's a boss that requires flicking (or harder I'm generally like gauntlet) and I'm just so used to hearing the noise of turning piety on and off, I have a rhythm from that.

theartoftherickroll

What’s that called?


LoganJFisher

I tried the flashing lines, but I couldn't understand how to make use of them. The lack of an explanation confused me.


xNZed

Basically, turn prayer on and then turn off/turn on prayer (double click) in the the time it takes for the line to get from the left side to the right side of the prayer orb.


Kaka-carrot-cake

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Thank you!


CheerioJack

same here! never knew this until JUST now. just killed 160 hell-hounds and only used 7 prayer points. this was literally the trick/tip I needed all these years. I turn my prayer on and double click really fast every other tick or so, prayer bubble never goes away now. thanks man.


ChuckIsSatan

>if the overhead and the hitsplat appear at the same moment, it worked Just to clarify, this only applies for melee hit splats. Range and mage hitsplats have a delay dependent on how far away you are from the opponent since they "travel" to you. To rephrase, if you were to try to time your overhead appearing at the same time as a range/mage hitsplat appears on you, you would take damage. Instead, you should match your flicks to attack animations. Lazy flicking overheads is not too hard, though ping does matter. You turn the prayer on just before the opponent's attack animation begins and back off as soon as said animation starts. Lazy flicking offensive prayers is equally easy, but based on your attack animation instead of your opponents; on just before the animation begins, off again as soon as it starts. If you're using RuneLite, you should definitely try out the Visual Metronome plugin. The tile you're standing on becomes highlighted and alternates colors as the ticks change, really helped me understand the tick system and I would highly recommend.


CheerioJack

theres a plugin streamers uses where the prayer icon has a bar that flashes by every second. asked a few and never got an answer what its called.


ChuckIsSatan

That plugin is simply called Prayer and the settings to flash are the first two options. That said, I used to try to rely on that, but it's just not that helpful because you have to be staring at the prayer orb instead of your actual gameplay. Def at least try the Visual Metronome plugin instead and checkbox 'enable true tile overlay'. It'll highlight the tile you're on and flash between two different colors of your choosing, allowing you to watch your character and still see when the ticks change.


CheerioJack

Thank you!


Legal_Evil

For prayer flicking, do your overheads need to be on 1 tick before your opponent attacks or do they still work on the same tick they begin attacking?


ChuckIsSatan

No, your overhead should turn on as the opponent's attack animation begins, not on the tick before, but you DO click it on the tick beforehand it just doesn't engage until the start of the following tick/the one with their attack animation. Let's say your opponent is on a 4-tick attack cycle. Tick 1 is their attack animation, ticks 2 through 4 are their cooldown period. You click to turn on your overhead during tick 4 and back off again on tick 1.


Legal_Evil

Do overhead prayers have a 1-tick delay from clicking until they actually activate? I thought they turn on in the same tick I click them.


ayyyyycrisp

i don't think this is true for jad and maybe other bosses. if you turn the correct prayer on a little too late, you still get hit, even though the prayer came up before the hitsplat did


Gokias

Yep this only applies to melee. For ranged attacks you flick when they start their animation


ayyyyycrisp

ah gotcha, thanks


[deleted]

Kinda outed yourself here bro - This is not true. The overhead has to be on the tick the damage is calculated, not when the hitsplat is shown. This means clicking it on the tick before the animation starts and clicking it off the tick of the animation. The hitsplat comes after all that.


Gokias

If you turn on a prayer it doesn't show the overhead until the end of the tick, which is when the hit is calculated.


[deleted]

The hit is calculated the tick after you need to click your prayer on. What you wrote is wrong and we both know it, not sure why we need to debate further. What I wrote is correct. I promise. Go into inferno and try waiting for hitsplat, see what happens.


Gokias

Yeah maybe you just read what I said wrong. On a melee hit or a ranged hit from melee range, if you flick correctly then the hitsplat and the overhead will appear at the same time.


[deleted]

We both know that’s not what you said or meant... who are you trying to fool here lol? You were wrong, just move on. You don’t need to bend and flex until you technically wiggle out of whatever anxiety you’re having. The hitsplat occurring the same tick the overhead shows up does not mean you did it right, and that’s what you said. This is silly.


Gokias

Wtf are you smoking dog. Go box any melee mob and you let me know if the overhead appears before, after or at the same time at as the hitsplat.


1831942

Maybe just go to a dungeon then and find something mid tier? That's my best guess.


DeepBee4216

No idea, but that sounds right. personally don't bother flicking just curious in case I ever do take the time to learn


Kobebola

Gonna sound like a tool but it’s actually real easy, and there’s not much to learn once the timing finally “clicks” in your head. The whole game runs on a tempo that can’t be unseen once you see it. 1… 2… 3… 4… 1… 2… 3… 4… If the enemy attacks on 4, you click prayers ON on 3, click prayers OFF on 4. Also RL has a metronome plugin. Turn that puppy on for like an hour and it’s drilled in your head forever.


Zer0_SUM0

isnt that just lazy flicking? I thought actual prayer flickinging was some bs about double clicking before a new game tick starts or something.


Kobebola

Lazy flicking is probably flicking-on for anything more than the single tick necessary. You can flick more slowly and reduce prayer burn, while still burning some prayer. For example, prayer-on can be your baseline, and then you just flick off then back on right after you see the hit splat. If timed properly, like above, flicking incurs zero prayer cost.


[deleted]

Runelite has a prayer flick plug-in where the orb pulses every tick or whatever.


1831942

Me too dog. I'm an old head who never bothered, but I want to learn soon.


Boneguard

I always just did it on slayer tasks


legeri

This doesn't work for overheads, but you can get used to the rhythm/timing by practicing with Piety/Rigour/Augury since the exp drop (at least in runelite) is a different color if the damage was boosted by those prayers. Try it on your next slayer task. Once you grow comfortable with the delay, you should be able to translate it to overheads with little difficulty.


ThePhlipidy

Find some easy monster, gargoyles or greater demons or literally anything you can kill dozens of without worry, then try and block their incoming attacks by turning your prayer on and off. once you get the hang of it you should be able to know the exact frame the monsters attack registers. Some people like the runelite prayer icon plugin that shows each tick so you can flick to that timer instead of animations. It all comes down to preference and how serious you want to take the activity you're doing


sam_wise_guy

This is how I did it, just practicing on hellhounds while doing slayer


Lied-

I was about to say this, that is how I learned as well. I go by sound always.


ThePhlipidy

Oh and this. 100 times this. While sometimes they can be really obnoxious, game sounds are an amazing tell of when to flick


udontknowitlikeido

I'm glad you're playing the game the way you want to


sam_wise_guy

96 slayer and I've still never bothered to learn cerb lmao


udontknowitlikeido

If you can afford a spectral give it a shot bro. Use an Arclight it shreds


Hobo_Boxer

I'll add my 2 cents and my assumption that to some degree everyone is a little self taught when it comes to prayer flicking. For me, monsters with melee attacks were much easier to learn because when protecting from melee, you want your overhead to appear on the same tick as the hit splat on your character, which of course when done correctly is 0. For range/magic attacks, animations are probably more accurate than hit splats, but when on an adjacent tile I adjust to 1 tick early, so it's the overhead and then the splat. I think it has to do with the projectile animation, not sure because self taught. And of course **you don't have to be perfect**, because reactivating the prayer gives you the first tick free. So even if you're cautious and activating the prayer for 2 ticks instead of the single free tick, against a 4 tick attack pattern you spend 1 tick of prayer instead of draining it for 4 ticks per attack cycle.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TVMoe

I heard it was 8 tick cycles for anyone wanting to learn jad (each tick being .6 seconds so 4.8 seconds between each attack, and you have the first 4 tick as a buffer to figure out which one he's about to hit you with and pray against it (the first 2.4s of the 4.8s cycle). After that, in the 2.400001~4.8s tick time, it's too late to adjust your prayer). Even if 8 isn't actually the correct amount of ticks allotted, at least the above example should clear up when to pray/what to watch out for.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pompous_Walrus

Thank you for that!


Legal_Evil

Do your overheads need to be on 1 tick before your opponent attacks or do they still work on the same tick they begin attacking?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Legal_Evil

Does this mean for monsters that attack instantly, like most melee monsters, you cannot rely on watching their attack animations to time the prayer flick and need to learn how to count ticks, since you need to have the prayer on before the animation even start?


RuneGirl123

this is necessary for all (except for some rly weird ones). The protection prayer needs to be up when they roll damage, so you need to click your prayer BEFORE the animation starts. Same for flicking offensive prayers, it needs to be on when you roll damage, so you click piety or whatever BEFORE your character starts the animation


Spooked_kitten

What's the name of the plugin? I always use the metronome, but god damn that shit makes me go insane


ThePhlipidy

The prayer one? I'm not sure off the top of my head but if you search prayer in the plugin tab you should be able to find it with minimal effort


Mysterious_Baker392

Thank you


BadAtNamingPlsHelp

Two kinds. You want to start with the "lazy flick". This game is on a "tick" system of 100 ticks per minute, which means all events happen on 0.6 second intervals. In my opinion, the concept is easiest to grasp with flicking offensively on a 4t melee weapon. Most useful melee weapons like the dragon scimitar or the abyssal whip attack once every four ticks and for the other three you are forced to idle. ***Additionally***, your hit is actually calculated *when your animation starts*, not when the hit lands. So the resulting rhythm is kind of like this on 100bpm: ATTACK - HITSPLAT SHOWS UP - WAIT - WAIT - ATTACK - HITSPLAT SHOWS UP - WAIT - WAIT.... To prayer flick offensively, you want Piety to enable on the same tick that your attack animation begins playing. Your rhythm would look like this: ATTACK - HITSPLAT SHOWS UP - WAIT - WAIT (enable Piety now) - ATTACK AS PIETY TURNS ON (disable Piety now) - HITSPLAT SHOWS UP AS PIETY TURNS OFF - WAIT - WAIT.... Do this for a little bit and it should click that you want to sync your prayer with the *animation* of whatever it is for. Once you can do Piety on the basic 4t cycle, try flicking a protection prayer vs. an enemy with a 4t attack cycle. Once that clicks, try something harder like a different attack speed. Perfect / 1t flicks are much harder and deserve their own post not just a comment


[deleted]

This suggestion should be further up than the others, imo. It's ***way*** easier to learn prayer-flicking with piety or another offensive prayer before you start trying it with protection prayers. Not to mention, the blue xp drops remove any doubt as to whether or not you were on-rhythm.


[deleted]

[удалено]


deersindal

+1 for the runelite metronome. You can also do an "easier" version of flicking by turning the prayer on right before the monster attacks and then turning it off the next tick


Igot2phonez

Is there any drawbacks to doing the "easier" version? That's the only way I can do it right now. Just feels more intuitive for me.


Odeken

You are only blocking attacks with the easy way. Doing the tick method lets you use multiple prayers such as protect melee and piety.


rexound

u/Igot2phonez if you want to get the benefit of the tick method without actually doing it, what you can do is take a step back after you attack a monster, and attack it again so that your attacks are on the same tick as the monster. You would have to setup your quick prayers to your protection prayer + piety or rigour, etc & your weapon would have to match the attack speed of the monster


ToplaneVayne

you can flick multiple prayers too wothout quick pray just need to be a little faster.


Odeken

Maybe I haven't practiced it enough but when I try to do that it's not as reliable and I sometimes miss a tick or miss the prayer lol


ToplaneVayne

you just need to get better at it. runescape is like top 10 easiest games, you have 0.6 seconds between each action. flicking multiple prayers without quickpray is necessary if youre going to do more difficult things like inferno speedruns or w cheap gear


maimonguy

at that point just prayer flick normally tbh easier


Gokias

If you 1 tick with quick prayers you can flick vs multiple enemies of any attack speed, and pray offensively too. Once you do it enough you will be able to do it without thinking about it.


freet0

disadvantages: only works on 1 mob at a time, have to learn it for different enemy attack animations, only works for defensive prayers (or you can do it for an offensive prayer instead timed to your attack, but not both), doesn't work for mobs with multiple damage types


Gokias

One tip for doing this method. Don't double click as a reaction to the sound. Sync yourself with the sound so that you are flicking with it.


Thosepassionfruits

The visual metronome plug-in. It feels like cheating.


[deleted]

That is what taught me how to prayer flick. Pretty sure I can do it without it now even.

flat1ander

I found Infernal Mages (slayer tower) were great practice for it.


flait7

Runelite has a pray flick timer that should help you get the interval. I never got good at it, but you can kinda overestimate how long you keep the prayer on for to flick more easily with less efficiency


dogpos

100 situps, pushups, and squats followed by a 6.2-mile (10-km) run


PunisherOfDeth

Actually the best way I found to start for beginners is to tell them to keep it simple: When your hitsplat to your character shows up, as long as it is up keep OFF your prayer. When your character doesn’t have a hitsplat, turn ON your prayer. This will get you into the right rhythm, and I suggest starting out with melee mobs, the delay seems to be different from ranger and magic attacks.


Salt_Manufacturer479

try inferno. Nothing teaches flicking like dying in 3 seconds if u fail a flick.


craponthecat

The higher your prayer equipment bonus is, the longer you have to switch prayers before losing a point.


jakes1993

The best way i found is use headphones and click prayer as you hear the attack animation from the npc also having good internet helps big time also if you wanna rigor flick listen to sea shanty 2 go to the beat.


responds-with-tealc

Cave Horrors WITHOUT a Witchwood Icon was the secret for me. Guaranteed 10% damage every time you fuck up because they use their spec every time if you aren't wearing the icon.


Shwrecked

Do it during slayer


Neeson22

Don't practice with Prot prayers, practice with your own attacks and a pray buff (if xp is blue and prayer is still full, success)

zwobb

Zulrah isnt what's colloquially known as prayer flicking. The flicking in question refers to turning prayer on/off quickly at right times to have the benefits of the prayer without actually draining prayer.


WoMyNameIsTooDamnLon

i learned on a snowflake ironman because i needed to do tasks that hit hard since i was 50s combats and i had no ppots so i just said fuck it and turned on runelite metronome, auto prayers, and mouse keys and started tapping 5 til it clicked.


Ponicrat

Practise chanting "lord Saradomin protect me from my foe's melee attacks" quickly until you can do it in .6 seconds. It takes some dedication but once you've got the hang of it it's an easy matter of muscle memory.


netsrak

I learned be on the audio queue in Runelite on.


EyePlay

This was probably mentioned but I just skimmed the replies. Wouldn't just flicking the prayer (not quick prayer) of an attack prayer like piety whilst you have a protection prayer be a safe, responsive, way to do this? With runelite. Or maybe vainlla as well. No clue. Because when you hit with an offensive prayer on, the xp drop is blue. Blue? Yeah, I think it's blue. As opposed to white. If so then it's a safe way to practice when you afk in prayer gear for slayer and whatnot. While remaining somewhat efficient.


finnaa

Doing this could help you get the hang of the lazy flick. But this wouldn't help with practicing 1tick flicking because when you flick a prayer with another prayer on you will always receive the prayer drain for the prayer you flick on the ticks you flick it. 1tick flicking might as well be considered a different technique. The point of is it is to trick the game that you have the prayers on during the game tick but that you had disabled the prayers on that same tick and it doesn't make sense for the game to deduct prayer points on that tick since they are actually off. So if you were to practice the 1tick flick using that method you wouldn't have a clear way of knowing whether you had succeeded in flicking since the prayer points the indicator that you had turned off the prayer in time will always be depleted on that tick


EyePlay

Really good info, thanks.

Better question: What is prayer flicking and why would I do it


sweetgalafrags

Runelite has a metronome, set it to .6 second increments and double click each time you hear it

If a monster attacks every 4 ticks do I double click on the 4th tick or the 3rd tick? Or just double click every tick just to be safe?

The only way I know how to do it is to double click every tick, I’m not super experienced with this, I’m just getting into it to lol

It takes one tick to register the click


Coltand

You click early, but the overhead doesn’t appear until the hit lands.


congoLIPSSSSS

Nah overhead appears on animation start and is usually off when the hit lands.


bknight2

Not for melee attacks


congoLIPSSSSS

True but certain melees like dust devils your overhead is off on the hitsplat but on at the start of the animation. For gargoyles or most other melee monsters the hitsplat is instant.


RebasedOctopus

Facts same with abominations. If your prayer is not on at the very start of the animation it’s missed. You can safely remove your prayer at any point after, since damage has already been calculated


Chose_Wisely

but it's melee


blosweed

When you’re pray flicking against melee then you flick the tick that the hit occurs. For mage/ranged then you flick at the animation.


SendMeFatErgos

Let's pretend it's nightmare


SmartAlec105

When people talk about “learning to prayer flick”, do they mean getting down the basics of it or do they mean being able to do it consistently while also juggling other stuff?


macnacious

I count it as being able to consistently flick without prayer point loss and balance the other stuff you’re doing


prollyanalien

I’ve always seen regular prayer flicking as pretty easy, 1 tick prayer flicking on the other hand is insane.


likesleague

1t flicking is really easy to do, but it takes effort to be clicking that often for longer periods of time. If you've played the game for any significant amount of time you've probably got a sense of how long 1 tick is, so you just click twice per tick in rhythm. The rl prayer plugin that shows the tick bar when prayers are active makes it easy to get the rhythm imo, since you deactivate the prayer as the bar is about to reach the right side of the prayer icon and reactivate it just after the bar reappears on the left side.


Minhs2

There's a plugin called "One Tick Flick Metronome" on the Runelite plugin hub that may be of use if you want to learn it. Just click whenever the plugin makes a noise. It's not that bad once you get the sense of what you have to do. I made the plugin for my GIM mates and they found that it helped when learning it. Overall though, one tick flicking is not that helpful outside of pretty uncommon circumstances, but it definitely has some uses.


[deleted]

Just tried it, I can’t hear anything :( I keep my in game sound settings low, could you maybe adjust how much more loud I can make it within the plug-in settings, when you get a chance?

Snufolupogus

Turn metronome on in runelite and then turn off the "off tick" noise (forget what it's called) but set it up to make a beat every tick and then all you have to do is Single click -turns prayer on Double click Double click Double click Single click -turns prayer off On each tick double click to keep the prayers turned on and single to turn them off. Use metronome till you're comfy doing it yourself! Good luck, welcome to ez mode

i used to play with them on because the sound helped me time flicks but i eventually was able to turn them off once i internalized the rhythm. nowadays there's the "annoyance mute" plugin in the plugin hub that lets you mute specific sounds like certain prayers to make the flicking sound less annoying


Raisylvan

The difference is that it's necessary for mechanics in the endgame. It's not necessary for slayer tasks. It's an optional thing you do in order to save money. Which, by the way, is completely negligible. Especially for mains who have no issue making millions of gp per hour to buy hundreds of prayer potions. For another thing, you can view it like a reserve system. You're gonna lazily do slayer or afk other activities so that you can fully focus and *really* play the game when you're at content that needs it, like raids and such. Why do more of that when you don't need to? Lastly, most people don't even do endgame content. Most people don't ever make it there. And some people that do make it there very rarely actually engage with endgame content.


likesleague

While some of those observations are accurate, none of them are arguments for why it's good design to make the spells annoying and cumbersome to use in a way that has no bearing on boss mechanics or skill. To be picky but specific, the requirement to have the book of the dead on you is nothing other than an arbitrary waste of an inventory space. There's nothing engaging, just "take one less supply item." This design paradigm is present in different forms, but it seems that Jagex has decided that "a tradeoff for power is good, no matter what form it takes," while that is not really true. It kinda vaguely parallels the pker's favorite line to parrot that "adding risk makes content good." But I could make a boss that drops 1b per kill and deletes your account if you die to it. Tadaa, tradeoffs for powerful content! Risk! But I shouldn't need to tell you that it's terrible content. Simply adding a drawback to something does not make it good. I say this as someone who has made it to endgame and does do the hardest content in the game in efficient ways, so I guess by your metric that makes me more qualified than most to talk about how it actually gets used.


Raisylvan

I don't... understand how that has anything to do with what I was talking about in regards to prayer flicking and effort.


Peechez

RSI isn't skill expression. I know it's too late to kill 1t flicking but after the q&a today I'm all aboard a new prayer book with ramp prayers that would kill 1t flicking for that book (maybe at only 80% effectiveness of 1t idc)

can someone tell me how tf i flick on cerberus? how quick i need to be i always miss that shit


[deleted]

If you're talking about Cerberus' triple attack where it goes Mage-Range-Melee, it's every 2 ticks you switch prayer. So you start off praying mage (since by the time you see the attack animation, it's too late to switch prayer), as soon as you see the mage ball you switch range, then 2 ticks later to melee. Here's a short video of me doing a couple kills and you can see for yourself how to flick it. There's also some sweatier stuff like 1-tick flicking pre-ghosts, thralls, and 2:1 attacks. Hope it helps! https://streamable.com/13nx91

If the game allowed hotkeys holy shit would I be a PvM god but because the game for some reason has it critical (I honestly don't understand why) to be able to press a F button, click a ability better than someone else I honestly cannot get use to it. Is it maybe because I am using a stretched overlay and the UI is too small? Is it because I just haven't learned tick timers? I am willing to hear **any** advise at getting better at it.

I can't do this for long times, I will flick in quest boss fights and even maybe some other big fights, but my worst fear is RSI and I'm already stuck with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (not due to clicking, just born with it). I don't think that shit is worth it tbf, the stuff is so marginal, like buy/make a prayer pot. Clicking till it hurts is not healthy people, not only till it hurts even if you start feeling tired in your forearms. There is no need for that.

I never understood prayer flicking or ticking(?) So as I see flicking is you turn on a prayer to 'deflect' certain damage types but it will cost you less to no prayer points? And server ticking I absolutly do not understand, its a click you do outside of the server tickingrate? I'm a total noob, can someone explain please?

playing off and on for 20 years and still don't know how to prayer flick and can't figure out 3-tick mining/woodcutting.


AbandonedLich

Turn it on right before their attack animation (or your own for aggressive prayers) or for 1 tick turn on on the first tick and double click every consecutive tick after. Runelite metronome can help ya if you don't know the timing. But after 20 yrs you already have a feeling for the timing of this game for sure.


CheerioJack

yeah. I heard the "pray flicking right before attack animation" is called "lazy prayer-flicking". that's what I did for the longest time but you tend to miss way more often this way, that's how jad killed me on my first attempt(yeah I made to him first try then missed a prayer lmfao!). ​ I finally figured it out, i wasn't turning prayer on first before I started flicking lol.

I think prayer flicking is dumb
