wax or resin torch ?

[Tam]

the difference is 1 damage, rest is pretty vague in description. both are "long lasting"
Whats better ? Thanks

Wax is better, with a durability of 100 vs resin's 75 durability. I'm not really sure why the resin torch even exists, honestly.

Edit: durability dictates how long the torch will burn, for anyone who wasn't aware.

From experience, I know the wax torches last much longer (doesn't wear out so quickly) than the basic torches. I don't tend to use torches as a weapon.

From experience.. Both are crappy until they can be wielded in offhand.
- Complete the early game quest to obtain a sword that provides light around you.
- Get from a silver chest from lvl 18 ~ 21 a ring that illuminates a large area around you while worn.
- Use the wisp in the flask to lighten up the area around you for 5 minutes.
similar to what the ring does, but obtainable sooner and doesn't consume the ring slot

Personally i wear the ring and can't be bothered to take it off cause i love that quality of life upgrade

Maybe there will be a quest to find a lantern that can be worn on the belt.
Tier 1: 15ft illumination in a 180 degree facing arc
Tier 2: 30ft illumination in a 180 degree facing arc

I dont know if this happens with all torches, i only test it with the wax one, but when my rested bonus runs out, and i cant return to the base, i can find a room in a dungeon, or even a cave and hold the torch to give me the bonus, it might last a few minutes, you can even thrown the torch on the ground and play some music to enhance the bonus, very handy in some servers where i cant drop a shrine to teleport back.

This works with any torch that provides warmth when held (or stood next to, if dropped). I use a regular torch, and drop it next to me when mining; I don't have to care if it's day or night, and if it's deeper into a cave, I can still see... and when I pause because I ran out of stamina, I sit down to gain some rested (which immediately increases my maximum stamina and my recharge rate, if I was out of rested when I sat down). 30 seconds later, I've got 3 minutes of rested and nearly 3 rings of stamina to chop more (insert mineral here).
