I used a Prismatic Medium star and gained 14,214 bonus experience in the hunter skill. Then I used a Small Smouldering lamp and gained 11,846 experience in the hunter skill. I no longer have any bonus experience in hunter to be used, even though I should have a total of 8,292 bonus experience in the hunter skill. According to the wiki, (correct me if the wiki is wrong and/or has not been updated) but a smouldering lamp should only convert up to what the lamp would give me without any bonus experience, so therefore based on my level (if the wiki is correct) I would gain a total of 5,922 normal experience, and another 5,922 converted bonus experience for a total of 11,846. Even if the wiki is wrong, and the bonus conversion is would take double the bonus and convert for a 2:1 ratio, it would still leave me with some bonus experience in the hunter skill. I am thoroughly confused as to what has happened, and believe this is not the first time this has happened, curious if there's an explanation of why this happened, whether or not it was intended. Have a couple screen shots as well if needed.

I believe the information from the Wiki is correct.

The most logical explanation is you have used up some bonus hunter xp after you used the Prismatic Medium Star and before you used the Small Smouldering Lamp.

There are plenty of ways to gain a few thousands of hunter xp in a very bery very short time that one may not even realize he is gaining hunter xp. Besides, your activity log shows you have been gaining hunter levels very actively the last few days (you went from 87 t0 90 hunter in just 2 days). I guess you have probably enjoyed Hunting so much that you didn't realize you gained hunter xp and therefore used up bonus hunter xp in between applying the Prismatic Star and Smouldering Lamp in question.

Anyway, if you submit a ticket through the Support Center, I think Jagex should have no problem checking the your activity timestamps and tell if there is any issue with the Smouldering Lamp... but for now I think info from the Wiki is correct and I have been using the Smouldering Lamps for years.
