Revision 7

Overview

Floor-Standing Torch is a utilitiescraft station in Windrose. A portable light source used for exploring dark caves and dungeons. Unlike most utilities, it does not require a roof or Bonfire range.

Placement Strategy

The Floor-Standing Torch is the only craft-station that can be placed outside of any Bonfire's range. Two Wood per torch makes it a cheap throwaway light source, which suits its main use case: marking paths and corners in the pitch-black caves of the Foothills and the Deep Jungle. The tooltip explicitly notes "No Comfort bonus," so the torch contributes nothing to camp comfort even though it projects light.

Tips

• Carry a stack of Wood and drop torches as breadcrumbs when entering a new dungeon. Two Wood per torch is cheap enough to leave a trail of 10 without thinking.

• The torch does not register as a Bonfire range source. Do not rely on it to power nearby crafting stations.

• Floor-Standing Torches are destructible (1,500 HP); place them out of blast radius when fighting explosive enemies or using Utilities Explosive Barrel.

Build Menu Workflow

Deploy the Floor-Standing Torch through the standard Build mode. Walk into a dark section of cave, press B to open Build, select the torch, and drop one wherever you need light. The torch stays lit once placed.

To reclaim the Wood after exploration, open Build mode again and middle-click the torch. It deconstructs and returns the original 2 Wood, so torches dropped as breadcrumbs can be recovered on the way out.

Role in the Lighting Loop

The Floor-Standing Torch is the fallback light source when the Oil Lamp is empty or the copper budget is committed elsewhere. Early-game players without the copper for a lamp can rely exclusively on torches; mid-game players typically carry a lamp as the primary light and drop torches only for marking extraction routes.
