The abyssal lantern is an item worn in the shield slot that can be obtained from the Rewards Guardian after completing a round of Guardians of the Rift. It can also be purchased from Apprentice Felix via dialogue for 1,500 abyssal pearls.

Players with the appropriate Firemaking level and a tinderbox can use 6 logs of a certain type on the lantern to light it, which gives varying benefits when worn during Guardians of the Rift. The Firemaking level requirement cannot be boosted, and no Firemaking experience is gained. Coloured logs can be used in place of normal logs, though they give the same effects.

In addition to the benefits provided only within Guardians of the Rift, the lit lantern serves as an equipable light source.

Any extra abyssal lanterns the player has can be exchanged with Apprentice Felix for 100 abyssal pearls.

Benefits

Inspecting a lit abyssal lantern will inform players of the benefits provided. To switch effects, players can right-click "Extinguish" and use another six logs of a desired type on it. Players can only have one abyssal lantern lit at a time; attempting to light a second one results in a message in the chatbox stating "You cannot light the abyssal lantern as you already have one lit."

Note: These benefits are provided only within the Guardians of the Rift minigame and are not provided through regular altar access or at the Ourania Altar.

(update)
  • Abyssal lanterns will no longer be destroyed upon dying outside level 20+ Wilderness.
  • The destroy text for lit abyssal lanterns have been changed. Previously, the destroy text was "You will have to purchase another one from Apprentice Cordelia."

Trivia

  • During development, lighting the abyssal lantern required two logs of a certain type, but would only stay lit for one round; up to ten logs could be used to light it, which would allow it to stay lit for five rounds. This was changed before release to its current functionality.
  • On release, the destroy text for lit abyssal lanterns originally stated that players can purchase another lantern from Apprentice Cordelia. However, she could not be talked to, nor were lanterns purchasable; this is due to the lantern originally being polled as a purchasable reward, which was then changed for thematic reasons midway through development.
