Eagle Eye in Old School RuneScape: Level 44 Ranged Prayer

Eagle Eye is a Prayer in Old School RuneScape that gives your Ranged level an invisible boost of 15%. It unlocks at level 44 Prayer, works on free-to-play worlds as well as members worlds, and has been in the game since 22 August 2006. A higher effective Ranged level raises both accuracy and maximum hit, which is why the prayer is a standard tool for bows, crossbows and thrown weapons.

It is also easy to misread. The 15% is a boost to your Ranged level, not a flat 15% extra damage, and it replaces rather than adds to other offensive prayers. This page uses the OSRS Wiki's prayer pages (Eagle Eye edited 11 October 2026) and the current game rules as of 2 November 2026.

How it works

Detail	Value
Prayer level needed	44
Free-to-play	Yes
Effect	+15% to current Ranged level (accuracy and ranged strength)
Drain	1 prayer point per 3 seconds (base rate, before your equipment's Prayer bonus)
Other 15% prayers	Steel Skin (Defence), Ultimate Strength (Strength), Incredible Reflexes (Attack), Mystic Might (Magic)

The boost is applied to your visible Ranged level when attacks are calculated. Eagle Eye cannot be used together with any other prayer that boosts Magic, Ranged, Attack or Strength, so you cannot stack it with an Attack or Strength prayer. On 26 March 2025 Jagex made the prayer tooltip show the base drain rate, so the number is visible in the Prayer tab.

The upgrades: Deadeye and Rigour

Two later prayers replace Eagle Eye for players who unlock them:

Prayer	Requirements	Ranged attack	Ranged strength	Defence	Release
Eagle Eye	44 Prayer	+15%	+15%	none	22 Aug 2006
Deadeye	62 Prayer, deadeye prayer scroll	+18%	+18%	+5%	5 Feb 2025
Rigour	74 Prayer, 70 Defence, dexterous prayer scroll	+20%	+23%	+25%	5 Jan 2017

Deadeye is unlocked by reading the deadeye prayer scroll, an untradeable reward from Eldric the Ice King of the Royal Titans. Once unlocked it takes Eagle Eye's slot in the prayer book on members worlds. Rigour comes from the dexterous prayer scroll, a tradeable reward from the Chambers of Xeric. It drains at 1 point per 1.5 seconds, twice as fast as Eagle Eye.

The wiki also notes that Deadeye and Mystic Vigour are the only two prayers that give a Defence boost which can run alongside other Defence prayers such as Steel Skin.

When to use it

• Before you have Rigour or Deadeye. Eagle Eye is the strongest Ranged prayer available from level 44 until you meet the requirements of the two upgrades.
• On free-to-play worlds. It is the strongest Ranged prayer available there (above Sharp Eye at 8 and Hawk Eye at 26), since Deadeye and Rigour are members-only.
• When prayer points matter. Its drain matches Deadeye's and is half of Rigour's, so prayer potions last longer if you do not need Rigour's extra Defence.

Common mistakes

• Stacking it with an Attack or Strength prayer. The game does not allow it, so pick Eagle Eye for Ranged and leave melee prayers off.
• Expecting a flat +15% damage. The boost raises your Ranged level before accuracy and maximum hit are calculated, so the result depends on your gear and the target.
• Looking for Eagle Eye after unlocking Deadeye. Deadeye replaces it in the prayer book on members worlds. The prayer is not removed from the game.
