What's with this genie-looking lamp in the middle of the floor?
  • 1 of 5: It has a genie in it.
  • 2 of 5: Use the lamp to release the genie.
  • 3 of 5: He'll let you choose your reward.
  • 4 of 5: I'd go for the item, since it's always a Fre series artifact item.
  • 5 of 5: It's best to wait to do this lamp until after you get the limit on random artifacts (when black chests start giving only gold) because you may end up lacking one Fre artifact after that. If so, you can return here and keep trying the genie until he gives it to you.
