An imp-in-a-box is made by catching an imp with a magic box. It can be used to send items from anywhere to the bank.

It is used by right-clicking on it and choosing "Bank Imp-in-a-box"; then, a window will come up where the items to be sent to the bank can be selected (be careful to not click twice quickly, because items can move after clicking on the first one). Alternatively, simply use an item on the box for it to be sent to your bank. This method is a quick way for players with higher Hunter levels (71 required to catch imps) to quickly bank items. The imp will agree to take two items or stacks from the player to the bank in exchange for its freedom; however, it will refuse to do so in the following areas or scenarios:

• In PvP areas (eg. PvP worlds, the Wilderness) whilst in combat
• Above level 30 Wilderness, even when not in combat
• While under the effect of Tele Block
• Chambers of Xeric
• Theatre of Blood

The imp will also refuse to bank a player's looting bag, even outside of the Wilderness. If it is not one of the protected items, the imp-in-a-box is converted to a magic box upon death in the Wilderness.

The imp-in-a-box interface.

Imps-in-boxes can be stored in the huntsman's kit. Having an imp-in-a-box in your inventory prevents you from entering the Puro-Puro mini-game.

Note that while the box can be used to send two items to the bank, it will be labelled Imp-in-a-box (2); when one has already been used, it will be labelled Imp-in-a-box (1) and when both have been used, it will revert to magic box.
