Dragonkin lamp

A Dragonkin lamp is the final reward from the Ancient Effigies Distraction and Diversion. Its name references 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 or using Friend's Chat channels. Like all other xp lamps, the dragonkin lamp may not be banked.

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. Some examples:
 * 1) if a player uses the lamp on prayer at level 75, it will save them roughly 349k, assuming the player buys 73 dragon bones for 4781 gp and use them in the Ectofuntus.
 * 2) If the player had 76 Herblore, the lamp would save 546k assuming the player was making 120 Magic Potions and buying the ingredients for 4550 gp per potion.
 * 3) If the player had 90 Construction, the lamp would save 519k assuming the player used only 258 mahogany planks bought for the GE price of 2011 gp each.

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. An approximate for the experience gained is calculated by taking the level cubed and dividing that by 20.2 (Level^3/20.2).

The exact experience gained is shown in the following table based on the following equation:

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