Where to buy Lanterns?
Not a lantern of radiance, but regular Lantern.

However some locations do seem to spawn them occasionally (if not merely coincidentally), one of them being the old abandoned village between Bark and Heft; I started a new game yesterday and picked up a lantern there, and long ago I also found 1-2 there if I'm lucky.

There is also a “Lantern”. I know because one of my characters has one and, unlike the lantern of radiance, it completely removes the nightime debuff when firing a crossbow.

It uses the same icon as the LoR, and may have come with a recruit.

I visited four hive villages and all they sell is the LoR.

It's funny because if you carried a lantern on your person irl you would have a more difficult time seeing in the dark at a distance.

The lantern of radiance does remove the skill malus of darkness. It has nothing to do with what skill it affects, just the light level.

It emphatically does not on 1.0.14exp, I’ll post a screen later today.

Indeed. I bought the lantarn just for my outside city miners and they are still debuffed due to darkness

That's better than nothing, thanks Vermillion Cardinal.

IIRC, I remember reading that the objects are in the game data files, but they're not implemented in the vanilla version of the game. If they're showing up in shop inventories, it's either a bug or a mod has enabled them.

But, that could have changed in a recent patch, since a lot of info on this game can be quite old.

There's ruins that have the lanterns in South side of Strobe's Garden. It's labeled Expedition 4. I found 2 there. I just tried the village between Bark and Heft, and found none. Lucky me.

I just remembered a nomad hive trader once tried to shove a lantern down my throad for 2.5k cats. I didn't even know lanterns were a thing (even though I've seen NPCs carrying light sources in the wild, for some reason it didn't occur to me that we could get those).

My entire life has just changed cuz of this post. I better go find some hivers who sell them for the appropriate price.

Hi. All time playing always find the lanterns in any WHV . They sell them in 2 via the Traders shop. Very cheap too.

Now I got that lantern itch. And I need it cleared.

Ran out to my Old Village and the dang thing has nothing of interest in it but a sense of desolation I just love. Wish there were some beds in the area and a box for storing the cacti. I'd straight up live in that ghost town since it thematically fits the Ninja group I'm trying to make.
