Marrentill is the second-lowest level herb in RuneScape, used for making anti-poison, marrentill tar, and Guthix rest potions. It is also used to light incense burners in player-owned houses, which boosts prayer experience when sacrificing bones. When used as incense sticks, each incense burned will last for 10 minutes, with the timer increasing up to 60 minutes by burning more incense. The potency level of Marrentill incense sticks increases every 10 minutes, with a maximum of 50% poison damage reduction at level 4. The duration of incense burners also depends on the player's Firemaking level, ranging from 150 to 238 seconds between levels 50 and 99.

What You'll Learn
Incense stick burn duration
The burn duration of an incense stick varies depending on the type of incense and the environment in which it is burned. Marrentill incense sticks, for example, are made by combining impious incense sticks with a clean marrentill herb. Each stick, when burned, lasts for 10 minutes. However, the burn time can be increased up to 60 minutes by lighting additional incense sticks of the same type before the previous one burns out. This prolongs the duration and increases the potency level of the incense, with each additional 10 minutes and sticks burned increasing the potency up to a maximum of level 4.
The duration of other types of incense sticks may differ, and factors such as air circulation and the use of fans can also influence how long they burn for. For example, in a customer review for an incense product, one user reported a burn time of about 45 minutes with a ceiling fan on low, while another user timed their incense stick at 1 hour and 9 minutes.
In the context of the game RuneScape, incense burners made of different materials, such as oak, mahogany, and marble, are used to boost Prayer experience when sacrificing bones. The duration for which these burners stay lit depends on the player's Firemaking level. For instance, at level 50, a burner would last between 250 and 299 ticks (approximately 150-179 seconds), while at level 99, it would last between 299 and 397 ticks (approximately 179-238 seconds).
Therefore, the burn duration of incense sticks and burners can vary depending on various factors, including the type of incense, interactions with other objects or elements, and the player's skills or actions in the case of games.

Potency level
Marrentill incense sticks provide a stacking buff, with each potency level increasing the strength of the effect. Each incense stick burned will last for 10 minutes, and the timer can be increased up to 60 minutes by burning more of the same type of incense. The potency level will increase every 10 minutes, reaching its maximum at level 4, which offers a 50% reduction in poison damage.
When the first incense is lit, it will be at level 1 potency. For each additional stick burned and every 10 minutes that pass, the potency level will increase by one level, up to a maximum of level 4 potency. It is important to note that while maintaining the timer at 40+ minutes is not necessary once level 4 potency is reached, burning more incense before the timer runs out is required to sustain the maximum potency level.
Players can also choose to overload the incense by right-clicking a stack of incense and selecting this option. However, doing so will cause the effect to only last for 10 minutes, requiring the burning of additional sticks to increase the duration. Overloading consumes six sticks but instantly provides the maximum potency level.
In the context of marble incense burners, marrentill is used as a herb to light the burners. The duration for which the burners stay lit depends on the player's Firemaking level. For example, at level 50, a burner would last between 150 and 179 seconds, while at level 99, it would last between 179 and 238 seconds.

Creating marrentill incense sticks
Marrentill incense sticks are made using the Firemaking skill, which provides a stacking buff. To create them, you will need a clean marrentill for every impious incense stick used—a 1:1 ratio. You will also need to be at least level 9 in Firemaking to create them.
The incense sticks can be produced twice as fast with the Quick-cense upgrade from Sydekix's Shop of Balance. This upgrade costs 35,000 Crux Eqal favour.
Each incense stick, once lit, will last for 10 minutes. You can increase the duration by lighting more of the same type of incense. The maximum duration is 60 minutes.
Each potency level of Marrentill incense sticks will increase every 10 minutes. The potency level will increase the strength of the effect. You can reach a maximum of level 4 potency, which will take 40 minutes. However, you can skip the 40-minute wait and "overload" the incense by right-clicking a stack of incense and choosing that option. This will only last for 10 minutes, and you will need to burn additional sticks to increase the time.
Each potency level provides a 12.5% reduction to poison damage, up to a maximum of 50% reduction.

Overloading incense
Marrentill incense sticks are made by combining impious incense sticks with a clean marrentill. Each incense stick burned will last for 10 minutes, and the timer can be increased up to 60 minutes by burning more of the same type of incense. The potency level of Marrentill incense sticks increases by 12.5% every 10 minutes, reducing poison damage by up to a maximum of 50%.
Overloading is particularly useful when you want to quickly achieve the maximum benefits of the incense without waiting for the full 40 minutes to reach level 4 potency. However, it is important to note that the effect only lasts for a shorter duration, and more incense sticks are required to maintain the maximum potency.
The process of overloading incense is the same for different types of incense sticks, such as Lantadyme incense sticks, which also consume six sticks to reach maximum potency instantly. The ability to overload incense and the number of incense sticks consumed may vary depending on the specific type of incense and the game mechanics.
Overall, overloading incense can be a strategic option when you require immediate and potent effects. However, it is essential to consider the increased consumption of incense sticks and the need to burn additional sticks to prolong the desired effects.

Burners and firemaking level
Marble burners are pieces of furniture that can be built in the Chapel of a player-owned house. They require a Construction skill of at least 69 and a Firemaking level of 30 to be lit. To light a burner, players must have a marrentill herb and a tinderbox. The burners improve Prayer experience gained when using bones with the Gilded altar, with one lit burner giving 300% normal Prayer experience and two burners providing 350%.
The duration for which the burners stay lit is random and depends on the player's Firemaking level. At level 50, a burner would last between 250 and 299 ticks (150-179 seconds). At level 85, the burner duration increases to between 285 and 369 ticks (171-221 seconds). At level 99, the maximum level, a burner would last between 299 and 397 ticks (179-238 seconds).
It is important to note that the burners will extinguish once all players have left the house. However, for Group Ironmen, the burners will remain lit as long as at least one group member remains in the house, even if it is not the owner.
In terms of the incense sticks themselves, each one burned will last for 10 minutes. The timer can be increased up to 60 minutes by burning more of the same type of incense. Additionally, at level 71, players can acquire the effects of two different types of incense at once, and at level 95, they can acquire the effects of up to three different types.
