Moon Lantern

[MemoryJester]

How many moon lanterns can you have?
I play in party and we have only 1 lantern for whole group which makes explorering Act2 kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ experience, since there's no follow auto follow mechanic (like in dota2), and stepping away always triggers tactical movement mode.
So, is there any way to acquire at least 1 more magical lantern?

I give shadowheart 2 torches, one in each hand. it also better in combat than a standard mace, cause a mace do 1d4 and a torch do 1d4 + 1d4 fire.
I never used a shield so far in game. shield suck, all you get is +2 armor and you miss potential damage from offhand.
It is kinda weird cause in bg1 and 2 at least 1 tanky with shield was like a must have.

There are sections of the shadow-cursed forest where regular torches are useless.

Rather disapointingly even the dayligth spell doesn't work there but as others said if you free the pixi with pissing her off, you will get a free party wide buff that applies to all party members and companions no matter when they join

yeah so either trolling or actually clueless
there are sections where torches do NOT protect you from the shadows, which is the entire point of the moon lanterns.

only if you play evil you will need it.

there is a 3rd way to do it, but I not go spoil it.

... that is completely beside the point, i was pointing out that there comes a point where torches are useless against the shadow curse, which is a fact regardless of how you play.

Meanwhile I'm basically untouchable to the Shadow Curse because I have Selune's Blessing, the Pixie Blessing and my Sorc carrying the second lantern because while having the extra fireball from her staff is certainly nice she doesn't NEED it.

A fair trade for the safety of triple layered protection really.

nowhere did the OP say where they are, are you psychic?
the OP was asking how many lanterns you can have, not about torches and wether they are the best weapon or not. you went completely off topic with incorrect information.

now if you read OP question you know EXACTLY where he is .
he thinks he need a 2nd moonlantern for shadows, while torches work just as well.
you silly (he actually no need any moonlantern at that point, just light sources of any kind, but he thinks he specifically need a moonlantern light to just explore)
ps: get some reading skills "Dr."

you literally came to the topic and completely derailed it by talking about torches.
... can you just accept that you have no idea what you're talking about?
if you get there "too early" torches are useless
if you have selune's protection torches are useless
if you have moonlantern torches are useless
if you have pixie buff torches are useless
they literally do absolutely nothing for you beyond the initial stages.
i seriously cannot tell anymore if you're trolling or genuinely this clueless and actually think *i* am "bending the topic" LOL

you silly

torches do absolutely nothing at any section where you need the moon lantern, that is the part that you clearly do not understand. stop pretending to know better when you are completely clueless LMAO.

Everyone just use the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Daylight spell!

you are not reading, tho. your reading comprehension, is in fact, so terrible that i am left facepalming.
you're saying "just use torches" which makes absolutely no sense, and the ENTIRE POINT of getting a moon lantern is that you CANNOT USE TORCHES. if you were born this way i genuinely feel bad for you.
