An Oil Lamp in windrose is an essential portable light source used for exploring dark areas like caves, cellars, and ruins. Unlike stationary bonfires, it stays in your inventory and can be equipped to your hotbar to provide visibility while you venture away from your base.
If your lamp has run out of fuel and you are trying to figure out how to refill Oil Lamp in Windrose, you will need to gather the right resource first and use it at a Workbench.

If you do not have the Oil Lamp yet, you can get your first one almost immediately upon reaching the Coastal Jungle on the starting island. The most common places are the Smuggler’s Cache and Pirate Remains, where you can find one inside a chest without much effort.
Refilling always uses 3x Animal Fat, no matter how empty the lamp is. Even if it is almost full, the cost remains the same.
Tip: It is better to wait until the fuel is low before refilling. This helps you get more value from each refill. Also, keep an eye on the fuel meter and refill before entering caves so you do not run out at the wrong time.
How to Craft a Lamp in Windrose
Once you have looted your first lamp, the recipe is unlocked. You can craft a new one at a Workbench using the following materials:
- 4x Copper Ingot
- 1x Rope

Animal Fat in Windrose drops mainly from Boars and Sows. You will find them roaming around across the starting islands in the coastal jungles biome.
Boars are the better option if you want to farm faster. They tend to drop more Animal Fat, but they hit harder and can be risky. If your gear is weak, let them attack you first, dodge, then land a few hits instead of rushing in.
Sows are easier to deal with but usually give less fat. If you just need a small amount, they work fine.
