Torch icon for quick access

[Mad Davy Bones]

I and others (judging from paythroughs) spend the majority of time with the map window open and mainly switch to inventory to refresh torches. Since they play such a significant role & fade fast, It'll be accessible to have an icon for fast refreshing.
like the Retreat From Combat/Abandon Quest icons.

I agree. Being able to use a torch by pressing a key (F would be a natural fit here, for Fire, and because it's next to the D movement key) or by clicking an icon - or my recommendation, the torch itself at the top of the screen. I find I hover my pointer over it anyway to monitor the light level so clicking to refresh it would be intuitive.

+ 1 for the idea.

I agree completely. It might also be cool to have a torch count in the light window so I wouldn't have to switch between the inventory and the map to see how many torches are left.

How many torches you guys use to be that a problem?

Good idea, though, I hope it will get implemented

It's ideal to keep your light 75 and above. Every unexplored hallway, from left to right, ticks your light down 5 times. Going from 100 to 70. So every halway really needs one torch usage to get the max light bonus.

Ps: It's possible to only have it tick down 4 times per halway at exactly 76(assumimg you start at 100) if you press w/click as close as possible near a room's entrance.

Have you ever seen what darkness brings? Crits and more loot
My characters go around with 2-6 torches at maximum
Sure this is all personal preferences, but you seem a bit overly attached to light.

[Mad Davy Bones]

Nope! I actually didn't know there was any benefits to darkness... I just assumed it induced stress only.

[Space_Lion]

This is a really great idea.

[Cryder]

Good idea.
