Lumbridge Swamp Scam

The Lumbridge Swamp Scam was a very popular scam ingame on Runescape, although it is not as common now, there are still people who are unaware of it. Jagex have made additional signs warning people of the hazards of going into the Lumbridge Swamp Cave and this has resulted in less people being fooled.



The additional warning signs implemented by Jagex should be observed by players who are unsure about entering the Swamp Caves. Players should be safe if they wear a Spiny Helm and take a lit Saphire Lantern in their inventory. Other forms of lanterns may get extinguished and unless a light source is also taken, could result in a player losing items.

For players unaware of the entrance to the Swamp Caves, they can easily get to it from Draynor Village bank - simply head south into the swamp until you come to the candle maker. This NPC will be able to sell basic light sources, although it is advised to bring the Saphire Lantern.
