Lamps in RuneScape 3 are a great way to get free XP in any skill. To make the most of them, focus on skills that are hard, slow, expensive to train, or ones that you just don’t like. Here’s a breakdown of the best skills to use your lamps on.

Best Skills to Use Lamps On

1. Expensive Skills

Some skills cost a lot of gold to train, and lamps can save you tons of money. These are the best expensive skills to target:

  • Herblore: Making potions is useful but really pricey. Lamps are a great way to save gold.

  • Prayer: Using bones or ashes to train Prayer costs a fortune. Lamps help you level up without spending a dime.

  • Construction: Building furniture for your house is one of the priciest skills in the game. Lamps make it much cheaper.

2. Slow Skills

If you’re tired of grinding slow skills, lamps can speed things up. Try using them on:

  • Agility: Running the same laps over and over is slow and boring. Lamps are perfect here.

  • Divination: Gathering energy takes forever, so lamps make a big difference.

  • Runecrafting: This skill is useful but painfully slow. Lamps help you level it faster.

3. Skills You Don’t Enjoy

If there’s a skill you hate training, lamps are a lifesaver regardless of how easy or hard it may be. Use them to skip the grind and still get progress.

Skills to Avoid Using Lamps On

Lamps are best for hard or expensive skills. Try not to waste them on easy skills like:

  • Cooking or Firemaking: These are quick and cheap to train.

  • Gathering Skills: Skills like Mining, Fishing, and Woodcutting are relaxing and easy to train while afk.

Tips for Using Lamps

  • Use on High Levels: Lamps give more XP when your skill level is higher, so save them for skills above level 50.

  • Focus on Goals: If you’re aiming for a quest or achievement, use lamps on the skills you need for it.

My Picks

I always use lamps on Herblore or Prayer to save money, but Agility is another great option because I hate running laps. Summoning is also good because getting charms is a hueg pain.

Pick the skill that will help you the most and enjoy the free XP!
