Description

A piece of wood with tar and moss. It is made from [wood type].

A simple torch, used for lighting up an area when it is dark. Useful for exploring mines, or journeys at night.

Usage

• Use a steel and flint on it to light it and it will provide light for at least 2*QL minutes.

Notes

• The torche's wood type will be the same as the shaft used to make it.
• Creation chance for the torch is determined by Firemaking skill and tar quality.
• The finished torche's quality is influenced by Firemaking skill, shaft quality, and moss quality.
• Average quality loss from materials to the finished torch is medium compared to other non-improve items and regarding this loss it's comparable to door lock or mooring rope.
• Priests can't finish the torch as adding the moss is a continue action. Although, they can create the unfinished torch.
• Vynora gets double favor from sacrificing a torch which effectively makes it as good as sacrificing cordage rope on a quality for quality basis. Further, since cordage can single handedly be produced (farming wemp, and creating) by Vynora priests it has a big advantage over Torches. Vynora can't make/gather the tar or moss and they don't usually have high carpentry skill for making higher quality shafts.
