To make a black candle lantern the player must first have an unlit black candle, a candle lantern frame (made with the Crafting skill) and at least level 4 Firemaking. The player places the black candle in the lantern to create a candle lantern (black) and lights it, using a tinderbox. No experience is received when lighting a black candle lantern. Black candle lanterns (along with the white candle variant) are not recommended for the Lumbridge Slayer Caves, as they have a high chance of igniting the swamp gas, hitting the player up to 160 in an explosion.
