Receiving the Holy Cithara for the first time rewards the player with 50,000 Prayer experience. The Holy Cithara has a right-click play option which, upon clicking, will make the player play it energetically for a few seconds. Other players are able to hear the Cithara as the player plays it. The Cithara's emote can only be used when it is not sheathed. This does not provide protection from Saradominist followers in the God Wars Dungeon. The Holy Cithara is required for the elite Desert Tasks "A, B, Cithara".
