When encountering the Magic Lamp in Otherworld Legends, pick Power (Equipment) if your build needs key passive items, choose Wealth (Coins) if you need immediate cash for shop purchases and weapon upgrades, or select Defiance to fight the genie for an exclusive hidden equipment drop.
Before interacting with the lamp pedestal, clear all adjacent combat rooms, restore health, and allow skill cooldowns to reset so you can handle a potential fight safely.

Magic Lamp Wish Comparison
The Magic Lamp appears during dungeon exploration, particularly within desert biome stages. Interacting with the pedestal summons the genie, who presents three choices:
| Wish Choice | Immediate Reward | Best Scenario | Trade-Off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wealth (Coins) | Large bundle of gold coins | Early stages (Scenes 1-1 to 1-3) before visiting Peddler | Useless if upcoming shops lack viable items or before a final boss |
| Power (Equipment) | Random high-tier item | Mid-game (Scenes 2-1 to 2-3) when pursuing synergies | Item drop is random and may not match your build |
| Defiance (Combat) | Mini-boss battle yielding hidden equipment | Late-game runs with solid burst damage and sustain | High combat risk; forfeits the peaceful reward |

How to Get the Genie's Hidden Equipment
To unlock the hidden equipment drop, you must reject the standard peaceful wishes and pick the defiance option to challenge the genie.
- Trigger the fight: Reject the peaceful rewards during the dialogue. The genie will become hostile, initiating a mini-boss battle in the room.
- Evade his primary attack patterns:
- Teleportation bursts: The genie disappears and re-emerges near your hero. Keep moving laterally across the room to avoid surprise hits.
- Wide-area magical attacks: Watch for glowing casting indicators on the floor and step outside their area of effect immediately.
- Sweeping melee strikes: Stay at mid-range until his swing animation finishes.
- Punish recovery windows: Attack aggressively during the genie's recovery frames directly after his major spells.
- Collect the drop: Once defeated, the genie drops an encounter-exclusive piece of equipment that cannot be purchased from Peddler's shop.

Which Wish Should You Choose?
Base your decision on your current floor and equipment status:
- Scenes 1-1 to 1-3 (Early Game): Take Wealth. Early gold guarantees you can buy out Peddler's shop inventory, reroll weapon stats, or purchase skill slots from the Blacksmith on subsequent floors.
- Scenes 2-1 to 2-3 (Mid Game): Take Power. If your gold reserves are stable, an immediate high-tier item roll helps secure critical multipliers, on-hit triggers, or fusion materials.
- Late Game or Real Mirage Runs: Provoke the Defiance battle only if your hero has high sustain and steady burst damage. If your current health is depleted or your build lacks reliable survivability, take the guaranteed equipment reward instead to avoid a run-ending death.

Can you add more details about base building in a future update?
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
Good guide for Otherworld Legends players. The base building part was useful.
