Barbarians and Night Vision

[Shaun421]

Do lightstones still provide light if it is in an inventory slot (not a bag)? I tried it with my lamp but it didn't do anything.

[Danth]

They do, provided they're in a primary slot--not a bag.

Lanterns have to be held.


Which reminds me, I *vaguely* remember my Human characters starting out with a weak candle in addition to the usual 'newbie gear', but I cannot for the life of me recollect whether that was original, or something patched in later. Does anyone know?

I thought that was the case with the lightstone but the lamp was throwing me off. Thank you muchly for the help Danth.

I thought due to the new client (titanium) everyone gets infravision?

I had a barb on live, and it used to be at night you literally could not see anything infront of you however here he can see with no problem even without a lightsource.

That's a great question, and I remember the candle as well. But I didn't start until Velious, so not sure if it is classic.

No. Night is simply lighter than it originally was. A few specific areas (such as inside Befallen) are still extremely dark, however.

I seem to remember something about a candle as well. I know that in Ultima Online all characters started with a little candle but I seem to have a vague memory of it happening in EQ too....

Hmmmm
