{{Opinion}}
* Prior to patch 2.0.201.67, glowspheres could be carried in the thrown weapon slot and still provide light. This allowed dual wielding or carrying other objects in one's hands.<ref>[https://bitbucket.org/bbucklew/cavesofqud-public-issue-tracker/issues/3365 marked as <code>wontfix</code> by developers]</ref>
* If the player chooses to start in {{favilink|Joppa}}, {{favilink|Warden Ualraig}} will always have a {{name}} available to trade.
** If the player can afford to purchase this, it is almost always a good idea to do so, as the small downside to replacing your {{favilink|torch|torches}} with a {{name}} (the downside being that {{name|plural}} are less useful in combat) is more than made up for by the greater light radius and the fact that {{name|plural}} do not burn out.


* Prior to [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/333640/view/3028075986580321135 patch 2.0.201.62], {{favilink|Joppa|possessive}} warden, {{favilink|Warden Ualraig}}, always carried a {{name}} that could be purchased for a fairly reasonable price. The warden no longer carries a {{name}}, and its price has been significantly increased.

A glowsphere is a light source of light radius 8 which, unlike a torch, will never burn out. A glowsphere must be carried in a hand slot to provide light.

Trivia

  • Prior to patch 2.0.201.67, glowspheres could be carried in the thrown weapon slot and still provide light. This allowed dual wielding or carrying other objects in one's hands.[1]
  • Prior to patch 2.0.201.62, Joppa's warden, Warden Ualraig, always carried a glowsphere that could be purchased for a fairly reasonable price. The warden no longer carries a glowsphere, and its price has been significantly increased.
The light radius of a glowsphere, with the edge of the light radius marked.
