[Dolalin]

Okay got it! WHEW.

Candles were in at launch!

4. The Darkness. Well, I go back and forth on this. My Barbarian in
Everfrost
could actually see pretty well with his little candle in one hand and a
sword in the other.

Great research!

Does anyone remember if we really started out with a small boost to a weapon skill back in 1999? My memory is telling me that they were all zero and I primed my weapon skill with starting training points before heading out to kill my first rat.

Trying to get all the details needed for this to be included.

Barbarians and Humans should all start with a candle. What about Erudites?

[Dolalin]

Erudites should start with them too based on what I've read.

My first character was an erudite enchanter, WAY the heck back.
Needless to say, she never even got her tunic. Why? Because I fell
into a pool of water somewhere in a dark room where I couldn't see,
and hey, my note, spells and candle were still on her body - yay for
THAT change, I tells ya...

That post is another reminder that the candle should be an incredibly bad light source. Better than nothing but just barely.

BTW, don't forget the ghoulish purple skull-shaped candle Bertoxxulous Humans start with! Anyone have evidence of it?

[Dolalin]

OHHH I think I remember that now! I will try to find info Videri. Do you remember what it was named?

[Dolalin]

I think I found it.

Evil Qeynos humans should start with a Candle of the Plaguebringers:

All candles should have a bag graphic when equipped, and must be equipped to function as a light source.

Were there other evil candles? I can't see any in Lucy.

This is awesome. Thanks for all you do for Green accuracy.
