Qeynos/ Surefall - Lightsources/ Bags

[drdrakes]

As a Druid I have the ability to summon a lightsource, are the higher level versions much better?

Are fire beetle eyes or other easily found items better than the candle or summoned stone?

How about quests that provide or reward containers?

Greater lightsource is about as classic as it gets. You have to sacrifice a bag slot, but it's totally worth it and will be fine right up to level 50(+)

Pro Tip- Ask a 16 mage for a heatstone or a 39 mage for a coldstone. They go in the ammo slot.

In my opinion, the level 1 druid spell lightsource is about equal to a fire beetle eye; the fire beetle eye is readily available in the newbie yard or off a vendor (and cheaper than the spell). A lightstone is much better than a fire beetle eye, and a greater lightstone slightly better than a regular one. Basically, loot or buy a lightstone asap.

Oh, forgot container... you get one in Qeynos by starting the tax collection quest. Dont finish the quest, just keep the container.

It's weird because the .jp reference we have there for that says Globe of Stars was the brightest, but in 2006 that entire tier of lighting was brought down to Large Lantern level.
So now there's "no item of this type". But we totally have Globe of Stars, it's a level 9 Druid spell.

Is this information just lost forever? It didn't matter at all until darkness just recently returned.

Thank you for the replies! The starting candle isn't so bad and I'll need a fire beetle eye anyways. Just fixed my shaders so much of my problem was fixed just by doing that.

I'll look into the Tax Collector. Any other container quests people know of?

The advantage to the spell is that if you need the inventory slot you can just destroy it and resummon later after you sell that cracked staff you spotted when your inventory was full.

Heatstone is PRIMARY/SECONDARY/NECK unfortunately. Whole reason i bailed on an Erudite Mage. didn't want to give up a neck slot.

Aww man that would mean you couldn't brag about leveling to 50 naked on your mage. bummer

The page says "The following is wholly the work of this website (http://giline.versus.jp/shiden/light_e.htm). It is not 100% accurate to Project 1999." Like many things in the wiki it's just the best anyone has contributed thus far.

If you see a way to improve it, go for it! But unfortunately I don't know of a better source of info.

Alas! Neither of us gets the cracked staff. Zodium sees it first with his lantern.

I bought a Torch for 1s on green on my human in Qeynos and it was brighter than any of the Druid light sources I summoned up thru 14. I did not try a Greater Lightstone. Fire beetle eye was straight garbage.

Heh heh.. call it a DAY?

True for Heatstone. But Coldstone gives Ultravision at level 29 and can be equipped in the ammo slot. No reason your Erudite dreams must end.

Also you probably aren't going to have a neck slot worth a shit on Green until well past level 29, and even if you did a Mage barely benefits from stat gear anyway. So wear your Heatsone with pride then at 29 summon Coldstones for everyone's ammo slot for the rest of your Mage career.
