If you're hunting for the Bonecrusher after 'Tombs of Amascut', here's the practical route I take whenever I want to snag one without overcomplicating things. The primary source is still the loot from 'Tombs of Amascut' itself — it's commonly obtained as a rare drop from the raid. If you can run or join raid teams, that's the most direct way to farm it while also getting other useful rewards. I tend to hop into pickup groups or clan raids for a few runs; drops come in clusters sometimes, and the raid loot pool is the canonical place for it.
That said, you don't have to raid if you're not into it. The Bonecrusher is tradable on the player market, so buying from other players via the Grand Exchange or through direct trades is a fast alternative. Prices fluctuate with supply and updates, so I check the GE price and set buy offers or find a seller in trade chat. If you want to save money, try swapping with raid teams: some groups split loot or sell extra drops after runs.
As a final tip, if you're mainly after its convenience for Prayer training, compare the cost of buying one versus the time saved clicking and banking bones. For me it was worth the purchase — I use it on slayer tasks and longer boss trips and it's paid for itself in quality-of-life. Happy hunting — hope you land one soon, they really make bone-heavy sessions so much smoother.

Bonecrusher in Old School RuneScape basically automates the burying process, and I love how much of a quality-of-life boost that is for prolonged combat sessions. When I wear the bonecrusher, bones dropped by monsters get buried automatically and immediately grant the same Prayer XP I'd get from manually burying them. That means the item doesn't change the XP granted per bone — it only changes how and when you receive that XP, turning passive drops into steady Prayer gains without me having to click every single pile.
Because it doesn’t alter the XP values of bones, Prayer experience rates with bonecrusher are directly tied to your kill speed and the type of bones the monsters drop. High-tier bones (like dragon-level bones) give far more XP per bury than common bones, so farming monsters that drop better bones while wearing a bonecrusher will spike your Prayer XP/hour compared to killing low-bone mobs. On the flip side, if you intend to use a gilded altar, ectofunctus, or other bone-consuming methods for higher XP per bone, the bonecrusher can interfere by burying bones that you might instead want to save for altar use.
For me, bonecrusher shines during long slayer trips, AFK-friendly bossing, or multi-tasking grinding where I don’t want to stop to manually bury every bone. It’s an excellent passive XP source if you’re not altar-ing or using other bone-boosting methods, and it keeps my inventory and banking less cluttered. Personally I wear it when I want steady Prayer gains without micromanagement — it feels like having a tiny assistant under my helmet.

I'll cut to the chase — the Bonecrusher in 'Tombs of Amascut' drops at about a 1 in 256 rate, which works out to roughly 0.39% per successful raid completion. This is a final-chest style rare, so every full clear gives you that independent roll. In practice that means you should expect a lot of dry runs and a few thrilling moments when the loot screen finally spits it out.
I've spent enough nights doing these to know the grind feels way longer than the math suggests. Community logs and the 'OSRS Wiki' back up that 1/256-ish figure, but RNG variance is brutal: you can get lucky in ten runs or be bone-dry for several hundred. If you're planning a long farm, focus on speed, reliable teammates, and keeping morale high — music, a small betting pool, or rotating roles helps the time fly. Personally, I find treating the runs like small puzzles keeps the fun alive even through the dry spells.

Lately I've been wearing the bonecrusher on almost every slayer grind and it made a surprisingly big difference in how smooth my trips feel.
I find the biggest perk is the mental and inventory relief: bones get processed on the spot, which means I don't have to pause to bury them or carry space-heavy bone stacks that clutter my loots. For monsters that drop lots of low-value bones—skeletons, lesser demons, many slayer fodder—this saves tiny seconds that add up over hours. That means fewer bank trips, less clicking, and more continuous kills, which is exactly what you want if you're chasing efficient XP per hour.
It's not flawless though. If you're planning to sell certain bones or use them for booming profit methods, the auto-burying can be annoying. Also for tasks where you want to pick up rare drops and prayer XP isn't worth sacrificing the occasional drop, you might toggle it off. Overall, for steady, relaxed slayer efficiency it's one of those quality-of-life items I never want to go without—keeps my trips cleaner and my focus on the kills, which I love.
