The '''Lamp''' is a reward from the [[random event gift]] and cannot be traded or [[bank]]ed. Rubbing the lamp gives the option of adding [[experience]] to a skill of your choice. The amount given is your current level in the skill multiplied by ten (e.g. level 13 [[Attack]] increases by 130 experience). This is not considered a large reward by most players, unless it is being used to level up skills that are time consuming or expensive to level up, such as [[Summoning]], [[Prayer]] and [[Construction]]. However, people usually choose a lamp from the random event gift, as they feel that experience is more worthwhile than any other reward in the box.

==Using the lamp==
Genie lamps are most commonly used by players to advance skills that are either low or considered hard to level. Combat skills are seen as a poor use of the lamp, unless one is a [[Combat pure]], as lamps allow pures to gain [[Combat]] experience without training [[Constitution]]. Skillers often use lamps to train [[Slayer]] without raising their combat. Sometimes, a player may hold onto the lamp until they gain a level, especially if they are close to one. This is because it will give slightly more experience (10 more per increase) at a higher level. However, retaining the lamp will take up inventory space, as it cannot be banked, and this can be counterproductive when training some skills.

Another common reason for a player keeping a lamp would be for the ease of reaching celebrated levels like a 99. This makes the level-up significantly easier and allows the player to have a much wider choice of level-up locations. An example might be a player achieving 99 slayer in their [[player-owned house]] by using the lamp to obtain the final experience required to level.

==Lumbridge Lamps==
You can get two Lamps from [[Sir Vant]] in Lumbridge. He is located in the building east from the general store. There is a ladder that will take you down to him. He talks about killing a dragon, so ask him if he wants you to slay the dragon. Vant will say something to the effect of it would disgrace him as a knight if you killed it for him, so he just gives you two 250 XP lamps that you can use on certain skills - Attack, Strength, Defence, Prayer, Constitution, Ranged, Magic, Mining, Smithing, Fishing, Firemaking or Woodcutting. (This is only if you had not done the quest [[Unstable Foundations]]).

==Trivia==
*It would take exactly 15,057 genie lamps to level a skill from level 1 to 99.
*Level 10 experience of 100 gives the highest percentage (49%) of the difference to the next level. The levels 5 to 18 give 40% or more, levels 4 to 23 give 30% or more, levels 2 to 30 give 20% or more and levels 1 to 40 give 10% or more.
*When trying to bank a lamp it will say "A magical force prevents you from banking this item", and the lamp will stay in your inventory.
*When a new skill is added, there is no option to receive XP from the Lamp until two weeks after the release.
*With the release of Dungeoneering, the new maximum experience you can gain from a single Lamp is 1,200.
