Increase wisp torch radius for higher cost?
Wisp torches as they are now are pretty meh in my opinion. Even if you're just trying to somewhat illuminate a small area you're mining or extracting resources from, you'll need quite a few. Don't get me wrong, I fully appreciate how low visibility is the entire point of the mistlands! The clue is in the name. However it can be hard to justify the weight and inventory slots of carrying around the materials for torches when they're so underwhelming.

So I think a way to improve things without breaking the balance is just having them give off more light but cost more as well. And I know what you're thinking. "Isn't that the same as making two wisp torches then?" Well, no because cluttering up the place with loads of torches will A : end up with loads of them broken by monsters and B : start to impact how the game runs.

I think a better idea would to be able to make better dvergr ones out of wisps, iron and ceramic plate, that way it's extra rewarding for beating the boss

Sounds good to me.

This has been suggested quite a lot of times already.
I really hope the devs will add something like this at some point. Even if that would just be for backtracking purposes in the mistlands.

I'm not surprised, it feels like a pretty self evident thing that wouldn't be super difficult and manage to address the concerns of a lot of people. Don't get me wrong, I'm not super insistent on the issue or anything myself. Personally I find the terrain more of an issue, but it does concern me that there appear to be a lot of others who aren't getting everything out of the game they could.

I think mist clearing items should boost each other with proximity, maybe an extra X% per item in range, like planting two torches near each other or two players with belts near each other.
