The lamp is a reward from several random events and cannot be traded or banked. 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 20 Attack increases by 200 experience). Most players use the lamp to level up skills that are time consuming or expensive to level up, such as Agility and Construction.

The following random events can award the lamp upon completion:

Guaranteed

• Count Check (players must be using a Jagex Account and a Bank PIN)
• Genie
• Kiss the frog (acquired by exchanging excess tokens to Thessalia, regardless of how many pieces of the Royal frog costume are owned)
• Beekeeper

With a complete set

• Drill Demon (only once all pieces of the camouflage outfit and all Drill Demon emotes are owned)
• Freaky Forester (only once all pieces of the lederhosen outfit are owned)
• Gravedigger (only once all pieces of the zombie outfit and all zombie emotes are owned)
• Mime (only once all pieces of the mime outfit and all mime emotes are owned)

On the drop table

• Prison Pete
• Quiz Master (through a Mystery box)

It can also be received as a reward from the Guardians of the Rift minigame when opening the Intricate pouch.

Using the lamp

The interface when using the lamp.

Members must be on a members' world to gain experience in their exclusive skills. The Construction option cannot be selected unless the player owns a house. Runecraft and Herblore cannot be selected until the completion of Rune Mysteries and Druidic Ritual respectively. After an icon is selected, clicking Confirm at the bottom will grant the player experience in the selected skill.

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 Hitpoints. Skillers sometimes use lamps to train Slayer without raising their combat. 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. Although it can take some time, it is possible to gain multiple Genie events lamps.

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 level 99 in any skill in their player-owned house by using the lamp to obtain the final experience required to level.

Lamp XP displays how much XP you get per lamp.

Lamps to lvl displays how many lamps you need to go from 0 XP into the previous level to that level.

Total lamps displays the total amount of lamps you would need to go from 0 XP all the way to that level (note: since this is the total amount of lamps needed, it will be off from the "Lamps to lvl" value due to residual XP. Residual XP is anywhere between 0 and 796 per level).

Trivia

• It would take exactly 15,057 genie lamps to level a skill from level 1 to 99 and another 188,855 to reach 200 mil exp for a total of 203,912 from 0 to 200 mil exp.
• It takes the same number of lamps to get from level 1 to 2, as it does to get from level 39 to 40.
• 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.
• The lamp can be stored in death collection at Zulrah and Vorkath.
