How Witchspire candles work, every candle recipe in the game, and which candle to craft first.
Candles in Witchspire are consumable Hearth buffs. Place a candle in a Hearth slot to gain a temporary Hearth bonus for the listed duration. Candles stack additively with Hearth level, so a Spire Candle at Hearth level 8 is roughly +80% Hearth bonus.
| Candle | Tier | Duration | Effect | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tallow Candle | 1 | 1 hour | Hearth +5% | Tallow ×2, Wick ×1 |
| Beeswax Candle | 2 | 4 hours | Hearth +10% | Beeswax ×2, Wick ×1, Spirit Dust ×1 |
| Hearth Candle | 3 | 8 hours | Hearth +15% | Beeswax ×3, Mosscloth Wick ×1, Spirit Dust ×3 |
| Wardstone Candle | 4 | 12 hours | Hearth +25% + Ward | Beeswax ×5, Mosscloth Wick ×2, Spirit Dust ×8, Lumin Shard ×1 |
| Spire Candle | 5 | 24 hours | Hearth +50% | Beeswax ×10, Mosscloth Wick ×4, Spirit Dust ×20, Lumin Shard ×2, Brine Pearl ×1 |
The Beeswax Candle is the best early-game pick. Cheap to craft, lasts 4 hours, and the +10% Hearth bonus is the largest single early-game boost.
Beeswax drops from the Gloom Moth mob in the Veiled Steppes and the Lantern Moth Familiar (when not bound). Roughly 12 Beeswax per hour.
