Dragonkin lamp

A Dragonkin lamp is the final reward from the Ancient Effigies Distraction and Diversion. Its name references to the Dragonkin, though their connection to this artefact is currently unknown. It is an easy way for players who only use combat to level non-combat skills. It is received after investigating a gorged ancient effigy and receiving experience from it. This will require a level of at least 97 in one of the two skills that the effigy craves knowledge in, or using an assist from a player who does have the required levels if you do not. The suggested location to seek assistance is in world 117, in front of Daemonheim. The dragonkin lamp may not be banked like all other xp lamps.

It is recommended to spend the exp from the lamp on expensive or hard to level skills, such as Prayer or Construction. Spending the lamp on these skills can potentially save you millions, as Prayer and Herblore can cost up to 25 coins/xp point. For example, if a player uses the lamp on prayer when they have level 74, then it will save them roughly 500k, assuming the player would buy certain bones and use them in the Ectofuntus.

The dragonkin lamp can be used to gain experience in any skill. The amount of experience gained depends on the player's level in that skill (see calculator and chart below). After using a Dragonkin Lamp the player receives the message: "As you focus on your chosen memories, you feel a burning malevolence in the back of your mind. You have gained new insight into [skill]... but at what cost?". The significance of this message is unknown and could hint at a sinister aspect of the lamp's powers.

Note: Should you die with a Dragonkin lamp in your inventory, it WILL appear at your gravestone.

The exact experience gained is shown in the following table based on the following equation (to get the approximate amount easier, do: (skill level) divided by 20):

$$experience = \mbox{floor}\left (\frac{level^3-2level^2+100level}{20}\right)$$
