If you have the ego and start in Joppa, you can buy Warden Ualraig's guaranteed glowsphere. It has twice the radius as your torch allowing you to see even farther underground and at night. Most characters can trade all their torches plus a moderate amount of water for this.
The main light source that you should be looking for are {{favilink|glowsphere|plural}}. Before patch 2.0.201.62, they were pretty cheap and there was a guaranteed one on Warden Ualraig. But he doesn't sell them anymore. There is no guaranteed glowsphere location anymore. If you have a very low ego stat, are [[Socially Repugnant]], lack the funds, you have to look elsewhere. It is a somewhat rare drop to find, and village merchants stock them rarely.

Right, which is why finding a good light source is recommended but not required. Torches will keep you safe temporarily, as long as you travel mostly during the day, and you won't be running out so there's no need to buy more. They can also be thrown to set enemies on fire for some bonus damage over time!

One alternative source of light is the {{favilink|miner's helmet}} (with a light radius of 6 compared to the torch's 4) that appears in the [[Waterlogged tunnel]]. The tunnel is more dangerous than Red Rock, but it is now the easiest guaranteed light upgrade. Unfortunately, you can't wear it if you have horns or psionic migraines.


Special mentions go to the symbiotic firefly and the electrobow that characters can randomly spawn in with. Both have the same light radius as the torch, but are in a slot other than the hand, freeing up a space. They are also really good items (symbiotic firefly gives +400 insect rep, electrobow is a highly accurate low power missile weapon.)
