Luna.6203 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Hey I've spent enormous amount of time to find torch that not cause light on surrounding area. If you ask google there isn't really much relevant links on that topic and lots of them are many years old. I cannot confirm it but it seem like there is spellfire torch. I found that one like 2-3 months ago and since than im checking gem store if i ever see it to give it shot. Someone also told me that dragon bash has no light source but i can already see in preview thats not true. Also there is lot of discussion about different colors and intensity. I thought maybe something dimmer could work. So far no luck and i tried a lot of them. Does anyone know about something ? it can be ugly and expensive as long as it won't cast any light around. Thanks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna.6203 Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 @Khisanth.2948 @Inculpatus cedo.9234 Thank you very much! So i bought Seven Reapers Torch Skin. NO light! Pretty decent skin. Super easy to get BO on market for 15g. Pinnacle Flame is also nice. But i have 15 588 achiv points. And that torch require ~double. But definitely good to know... Maybe one day in future. Torch will be my 1st pick. Forgotten Brilliance Also good option to get rid of light i didn't know about. If there weren't Seven Reapers Torch Skin (easier/cheaper and prettier.) i would go for this one. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notable exceptions These items have a particle effect that includes a light or glow that does not illuminate the surrounding area: Beacon of Light— the glow effect when drawn does not add illumination. -- axe not a torch Emberglow — the torch-like flame does not add illumination. -- scepter not a torch Firebringer — the fire effect when drawn does not add illumination. -- sword not a torch Fractal Capacitor — the rays of light and particles do not add illumination. -- back not a torch The Anomaly — the rays of light do not add illumination. -- focus not a torch The Bifrost — the rainbow footsteps, weapon animations, glow, and other effects do not add illumination. -- staff not a torch Warbringer and all preceding WvW Skirmish backpieces — The flame effect does not add illumination. -- back not a torch Lightning Catcher, Sun Catcher, Wind Catcher and their Grand counterparts -- back not a torch The Cutting Edge and Holosmith's Sword - despite being lightsabers do not emit light -- sword not a torch Caladbolg weapons (excluding Broken Caladbolg) -- dagger, scepter, sword, greatsword, shield but not a torch For the following sets, the fire effect when drawn does not add illumination, except for the torch. -- except for the torch Fused weapons Molten weapons Royal Flame weapons Anyway 1st two replies in that thread resolved exactly what i was asking for. Sure, if know about any other torch without light source to surounding area. Feel free to share. Edited June 27, 2022 by Luna.6203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson.4036 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 And here I am trying to find as many weapons that do cast light as possible, because dark areas are so annoying. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in my case this torch blob of light cause unnatural brightness hurting my eyes in already bright areas. It's also ugly if there were shade from character or something. Or effect would be suppressed in bright zones. But its just unnatural blob of oversatured colors. Dark areas are rare. And if you have situation like lion's arch puzzle you can take any aoe skill (bigger = better) which create big green circle under your cursor (targeting indicator). Hover mouse cursor over dark area and you have night vision 😶 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I calibrate my monitors lower contrast and less saturated than typical due to doing artwork for print. 4 hours ago, Luna.6203 said: Dark areas are rare. They are rare, but I dislike them that much. 😄 Bitterfrost at night, the LA JP, and the dwarf mini-dungeon are all areas I feel so much happier when I have my own light source. 4 hours ago, Luna.6203 said: And if you have situation like lion's arch puzzle you can take any aoe skill (bigger = better) which create big green circle under your cursor (targeting indicator).

I'm glad the devs left you some torches that don't cast light, and that players were able to help identify them!

Naibsel.7821 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Check bank, wardrobe unlocks, select torches, preview them all 1 by 1 with the weapons drawn ticked 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
