Chewed bones are obtained exclusively as a drop from mithril dragons in the Ancient Cavern at a rate of 3/128. No other monsters in the Ancient Cavern will drop chewed bones, and looting the skeletons won't give chewed bones either (only mangled bones). The bones can be burnt on a pyre ship for rewards, including the dragon full helm.

Burning chewed bones on a pyre ship constructed with magic logs is a requirement for the elite Kandarin Diary. Using another type of logs will not complete the task.

Mechanics

When these bones are put on a pyre ship and burnt (requires a tinderbox, axe and any type of log excluding blisterwood and pyre logs) they will summon a Barbarian spirit, who may thank the player for putting his soul to rest with an item. The reward may be a dragon full helm, various potions, runes or projectile ammunition. Players may kill mithril dragons in the hopes of obtaining a dragon full helm drop; if unsuccessful, they can take any gained chewed bones to be burned in a pyre ship for another chance at gaining a dragon full helm. Note that using higher level logs does not increase chances of receiving a dragon full helm.

An ancient barbarian spirit being laid to rest

Burning chewed bones via a pyre ship provides a 300% experience bonus to the next few bones buried, including those buried by the Bonecrusher, with the amount varying by which logs are burnt. The player will receive a message saying, You gain extra prayer experience as the ancestral barbarian spirits watch over you. This bonus accumulates and is not lost upon death. A player can have a maximum of 200 stored instances of 300% experience from burning chewed bones before they won't receive anymore. The bonus does not apply when burying the bones from the Hopespear's Will miniquest.
