What is it? What does it do? What does it look like? I thought it was a skin, but I can’t preview it. Just says consumable/account bound. If it is a torch, I sure don’t want to give it to my Warr, who got it. So what is it?

Supposedly its a equippable torch that you can use to light your way in jumping puzzles and whatnot.

Its on the wiki with the description:
“Flames of Kryta is an item that, when used, spawns a torch bundle in the user’s hand. It provides a small area of light around the user, but has no other uses. "
“This item can be used an infinite number of times. "

I tried it in LA jumping puzzle in the dark room and it did not light up any surroundings, they remained completely dark. So this item is apparently useless, pretty disappointing.

The odd thing is that it DOES light up surroundings when I’m in LA in the town area that is bright anyway. Then I can clearly see it making the floor a little bit brighter.

My ‘Flames of Kryta’ works just fine in the dark room. It lights up all my surroundings. I can now grie…er…fight people in the dark room without stumbling all the way back in the dark.

oO ???
I will have to try again, maybe graphics settings are important? (I have some stuff on med/low or even none I think).

if it’s like the other glowing items, it’s a fairly small aoe. reflective surfaces increases the distance a bit, but you really can only see like 300 range around you.

Well when I tried it in LA puzzle I couldn’t even see the floor I was standing on.
But yeah, when I use it in the normal parts of the town, I see a 300 range illumination effect.
Odd? I will try again next time I have time to play..

Ok, it was the graphics options!

When “Shaders” is set to “Low” then you will see an illumination effect everywhere EXCEPT in the jumping puzzle in LA (haven’t tested other puzzles yet).

I changed it to “medium” and now I also see the illumination in the LA puzzle (the pirate captain one).
