Torch ideas? ways to get this back in the game beyond the starter isle

<p><span style="font-size: x-small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">It would be so nice to have torches active from the inventory, sort of like the new crafting tools, charm (optional) and click to activate the light effect or maybe make a torch slot OR appearance charm slot?.. i dont know, just tossing it out there</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I've been playing eq2 since launch and i don't think i have used a torch since a couple of days after release, and now that i see the graphics effect from it, oh my god its nice, everything just looks better, i run eq2 on a pretty tough computer, with a lot of FPS, very smooth... and with this torch effect on now, wow its brilliant, but sadly i am also a raider and i am not going to unequip stats for a light effect, but it would be SO nice to run though zones like Veeshans Peak with his on, amazing...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">But i would be so grateful if you guys could make a way for this to be implemented somehow, i would LOVE to see this feature in GU45 /hint hint <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></span></p>

<p>I would not want to have a lit torch in my bag, as it would burn thru it and chetch me on fire. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>What I would like to see... wich is something other games have, is a specific Torch slot that ONLY iteams that give off light(but no stats) can be placed in thier. Either that or give us some torch like iteams for our charm slots that accually have comperable stats to things like Hex Dolls or if it requires equivlant work, the Chicken Foot.</p>

I like the idea of a mastercrafted/quested/dropped item that functions like a torch with good stats on it.I don't really like the clicky harvesting tools a lot (still better than having to equip them...but why did they change it anyway?), but if it were easier (and faster) to implement, that would be cool to roll with.  I like having light, but you are right I don't want to have to sacrifice stats for it.However Diablo 2 had items that gave off light radius, don't know how feasible that would be to add a stat like that or create new items that have it.  Probably not reasonable, but I'm just tossing it out there... :0)

How about a light adornment for charm slot items? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/0320a00cb4bb5629ab9fc2bc1fcc4e9e.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

EQ1 had some items with a light effect on them (Crown of King Tranix, I think?).  You'd just wear that item and get the light.  Maybe an adorment for the charm slot would work, like Transen suggested?  It would give us something to put on charms and then we wouldn't have to waste the adorment on a piece of armor.  Or just have armor with light effects on them.

<p>/agree Guzz</p><p>It definately looks better to me also with a torch equipped, but in the current state you'd be nuts to trade out a charm item for one.</p><p>I would like to see another slot added for a lighting source also in addition to the charm slots -or- just having one in your inventory would produce the same effect.</p>

[Mariss]

There's no need to add a new slot.  Just more items that give off light.  The mechanics are already in the game.The Earring of the Solstice for example, gives off light when equipped.

<p>I don't know if i like the idea of adding it only to certain items, but it would be a great idea to have a charm slot torch adornment IMO</p>

[Cusashorn]

<p>I just wish they'd put in more armor that has a built in light source.</p><p>I miss the Greater Lightstone effect from my Celestial Fists.</p>

Charm appearance slot. Done. Easy.

[Finora]

<p>Charm appearance slot *nod*</p><p>Either that or go the way of Vangaurd and have it just an automatic thing. Hit alt K and bang! you have your 'torch' equipped. Though I do like the appearance slot better since we  can get the colored torches.</p>

[Kordaem]

Just add a Tinkered Belt Lamp or something that we can just have in our bags, and click it to turn it on. Wont catch bags on fire, can hang it from your bag ((clicky item from in inventory)) so it wont take up an item slot. Im sure these would be popular! <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

So the mechanics are in game, its just a matter of how much work it would be to a) apply them to iteams in game and b) get them so they don't make us take huge FPS hits if a number of people around us are all glowing.</p><p>BTW, Torches stack... or atleast they did, basically if you had 2 torches one in each slot, the Light area around you would be much larger.</p>

<p>Back when i used to have Bloodfire, the quest reward for The Heart of Fear in CT, it used to give off a nice red ambient light.</p><p>Though i agree that it's probably a better/more conveniant idea to do a charm appearance slot.</p>

The mail quest in TS give you the choice between 3 torches with different light colors.Edit: The quest dialogs are really funny. Everyone should do the quest <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
