light source for dual wielders

[Angry_Owl]

Hi

What light source options are there for dual wield and sword and board characters early game. Eveytime I enter a dungeon I have to lose my off hand weapon/shield to equip a shield.

I know the child of the deep arcology characters get a miners hat, can I eventually buy one from a trader?

I always manage to either find/buy a floating Glowsphere which goes into the slot of "Floating Near By" it's awesome for any character to have, regardless of their build. I sometimes even manage to find one in the chests in Joppa/Rust Wells.

Thanks :) That is good news and ideal for any character as you say. I expect they aren't cheap.

If you are playing a mutant you can always get the Nightvision mutation.

For True Kin, the fastest way I found is putting a non-floating Glowshpere into your Throw slot. It actually works, but I suspect it's a bug.

And yes, you can find a Miner's Hat on traders.

You are always guaranteed to find a miner's hat in the waterlogged tunnel. Which you can access by following the underwater river in the last floor of Red Rock or access the secret entrance by 's'earching the salt water pools northwest of Joppa..
It can be a bit of a difficult dungeon, but the rewards are well worth it. :)

Nightvision is really a must, it gives you a light source while keeping your hands free

Light Manipulation is also a pretty good mutation to have. Essential for Espers, at least.

You know, I've heard also that there's a guaranteed Sphere of Negative weight there as well. Thing is, I've canvassed the entire thing and found neither of those. Unless they can be found in some of the linked Underground levels, no items at all are actually guaranteed there.

It is always found around the halfway point in the tunnel. Only time it isn't there is because some snapjaw destroyed the entire stack with a grenade or some beetle came in and ate it.
I've yet to have a run where I haven't found the stack. Either you have missed the illuminated area that the mining helmet lets out or someone has just destroyed the stack.

Also, keep in mind those items are always located by the corpse named "Ancient Bones". Bodies are displayed on top of the stack of items, so it will always look like corpse.

This is a bit of a cheat, but you can put a glowsphere in your thrown slot and it will still provide light. EDIT: I see someone already mentioned this above.

Also, a charged Electrobow will provide light (without using up its charge.)
