  Be able to use a torch in place of a shield so that you can do combat a bit easier at night

  Or a lantern you can equip after reaching a certain point in the game (I just found out it already exists)

  Completely agree. It makes no sense not to use one hand weapon in the right hand and the torch in the left. Right now it's almost impossible to fight in the dark.

  I feel the travelers lantern should be available in the game much earlier. If you can make a table lantern you should be able to add string to it and tie it to your waist. Torch in an off hand is typical, but you lose that if you use two hand. Also parry seems to be pretty necessary so not having a shield when ganged up on hurts.

  Please give us as left hand slot to equip weapons (wands/ staff- melee combos) and or items like torch and potions/food. Or open the shield slot for other equipables

  I think as we get stronger we should be able to craft a wearable light source, maybe a lantern full of fireflies would be cool.

  Torch in left hand is a light, Torch in rt hand is a weapon. All I know is it's too dark at night without one and throwing it on the floor isn't a great option, or something wearable would be fine. Just gotta see and still be able to fight. Thanks

  Just craft the wisp in the bottle. No need to be carrying a torch

  Hello Enshrouded Team
  
  In the same method than shield, grappin, bows ... you could add quick slots for a torch or a weareable lantern. Maybe a slot for one main food with a short key. There is maybe other ideas to endorse the interesting inventory sistem of your game.

  Yes I need them to mine in dark caves its pretty dark in there. If we had some kind of wearable lantern on the belt or even a helmet would be fun item to add.

  I had exact same idea. It'd be so great - thematic and with the game lighting would be awesome to see.

  I would suggest a slot on the character that is only for light.

  Yes, please!
  Fighting in a dark cavern is so annoying!
  I don't even loot the corpses because they emit *some* light so i can orient better in the darkness.

  You can E and drop it on the groud, it will still light. Also there is a lantern flying around you, so this is in skills

  Imo lamps that you could put on your belt would be a lot better solution. Maybe once you unlock more advanced recipes :D

  Merge This Suggestion with the one further Up in the list to be able to Dual Weald, probably the two would work together.

  I think an item in it's specific slot like the grappling hook would be nice. We could even get quests to improve it and be able to light farther on each upgrade.

  Even the way the characters hold the Torch annoyes me. A Torch had to be hold up in the air, not to the ground like a weapon.

  Like a Mining Helm with a small candle at the front that you still have a little bit of light during mining, because so often it happens that you mine so long that it gets dark outside or you dig to deep that the light don't reach there anymore.

  Need a lantern that attaches to your waist for freeing up your hands for combat & whatever else tickles your fancy at night. Could be a mid game unlockable like Iron or bronze.

  The Wisp of Light potion provides a lit area around your character for 5min which is kind of like a wearable lantern but it would be great to have either longer versions of the potion or a wearable lantern.

  I do agree that this should be an option, but Wisp of Light is already a thing, so at the very least in the meantime you can use that.
  
  Would be nice if Wisp of Light lasted a little bit longer though.

  Someone mentioned having a lantern you could equip as a light source, but an even more fitting item I think would be a floating fairy/wisp. You have the wisp potion, so potentially having the Alchemist be able to unlock a wisp light at a certain level. Potentially adding color variance and make it limited by requiring you to feed/take of it.

  It would be nice if you actually held the torch UP like you would in real life... Currently it sits at your side like a weapon and feels less immersive. Allow us to equip and hold like a weapon in the right hand, but equip and hold up higher in the left hand as an actual torch light.

  deifnitvely an improvement to concider. The times I died reequipping the torch for a sword in a fught is madness. on the other hand thats what the whisps are for. Either lengthen the time the whisp Flask lasts or and a torch in offhand.

  For those who like walking around in the dark with a torch in one hand... Cage torches! A nice heavy bronze or iron cage - maybe even a flanged iron cage torch? Good for beating the odd mushroom man to... Well, guess they are already dead. But heavier torches, yes please.

  What about a progression system to player adventure lighting? You start of unsure, unexperienced, so you hold a torch in your off hand.
  As your progress and learn, you find you can craft a belt lantern as others suggested, as we see in Dragons Dogma.
  Someone else suggested a fairy in a bottle?
  These were all thoughts I had and I'm sure many have.
  I stopped reading, but spells and potions can work if that wasn't suggested.
  Magic items?
  Enchantments? EN. CHANT. MENTS!! That's something all games benefit from. Being able to craft your own gear and add your own enchantments to tailor make your armor sets to your needs . . . that's a whole other suggestion.
  
  What about unique lighting options we have never seen in a game? Weapon and / or armor addons, like creating a light cage to hold sparks?
  Create one and affix it to your glove / s for example?
  Chest?
  Feet? All?
  Options for other gear addons like spikes for reflected damage? Twigs and plant fiber for camo - that might be cosmetic?

  I agree with Haley Elizabeth's comment. There are multiple ways the game could allow for enhancements to weapons or armor that affect a glow/flame effect in dark areas. In addition, A skill could also be added to the trickster, beastmaster, or assasin lines to allows for better vision in the dark.

  Oh, that'd be cool! Wear lanterns on your belt like in Dragon's Dogma. Loved that feature! I'd use that over a torch ANY day.

  I don't know about any of these suggestions. But as a new player, I don't know what I'm expected to do to deal with darkness. My best solutions, after roughly 30 hours of playtime are basically 2 things. If it's outside and nighttime, I leave a flame altar slot open. If night falls, I make a new flame altar teleport back to my favorite base, crawl into bed until daytime, warp back and destroy my brand new altar and resume exploring. Heck if I have 2 slots open, I'll leave it in case I die nearby.
  Any other time it's dark I go in with a torch out. If I see the enemy first I drop my torch and lure them to me with arrows and fight them on top of it. But if they see me first, I switch to my weapon immediately and flail wildly in the dark. I have yet to find a better option and even after having met the hunter, having a base and even starting a second biome.

  I use wisp drink, but that thing doesnt realy light up the area if u are in damn dark cave.
  
  Another idea is if one could put down some kind of lightning, for when u start grinding materials in a cave, even if it isnt in the home area, but it is timely based like 5-10 min max for 1 duration like that standing torch. That would be nice.
  
  Also Haley Elizabeth has pretty nice ideas.

  I would rather have a lantern you can craft that you can place on your hip so you can still use a sword and shield but be able to see/fight at night.

  Please have character hold torch up above head. Not just down to the side. No one holds torches like that!!

  For those that don’t know, there’s also a work potion that creates a little light that follows you. Maybe some more options like that (one that is more Permanent?) might be nice.

  How about summon light globe for mage. This should be a simple cantrip for magic user. Lantern on belt was what I suggested in another page for rangers and warriors. Running around in the dark dungeon is not fun with enemies around the corner. Light wisp requires gathering stuffs and only last 5 minutes.

  Perhaps a mining helmet? Maybe brass bars + glow dust, or same +glass? It might be a little fiddly to have to switch between it and your "real" combat helmet, but for some of the tunneling I've ended up doing, it would be totally worth it.

  Great idea! I've spent 1000+ hours in Conan Exiles and disability to fight with one handed weapon while holding a torch is annoying to me.

  TIL there is a lantern at some point-- hard agree that it should be available sooner. If that's a problem, I'd suggest you make the lantern an upgradeable tool. Right now, it's so dark at night that any kind of activity is often impossible.

  Wisp of Light potion works perfectly for that, and you can craft them with the Alchemist so I don't really see the need. You've got the 2H solution for if you need your melee and shield, or mace or something. I don't mind equipping a torch temporarily if I need more, either. When the torch is equipped your ranged weapon can still activate the same way as usual for a quick shot. For mining specifically, did you know you can throw your torch on the ground and just "loot" it when you're done? Afaik it's the only item in the game you can actually drop and pick back up (I just hope the devs remove the ability to loot items directly into the hot bar, that's a bit annoying when throwing your torch down to mine lol)

  If doing offhand torch is too complicated then improving the wisp of light potion would go a long way instead. Currently it only last 5 minutes, and takes a decent amount of supplies to create one and is consumable. Torches people can repair, if the wisp was an eternal spell, or potion that would not get used it would help a lot. It also needs to last way longer than 5 minutes, its not really a buff and even buffs like the flame scroll can last longer, give it at least the same amount of time as food, 30-40 minutes
  
  As others have mentioned it is also kind of dark and the blue color can be a bit confusing with other things of similar color like the life and mana orbs or even the water healing orb. Change the light to white/yellow and make it a bit brighter along with the longer duration if we cannot have an offhand torch.

  A ring that glow in the dark (lose a ring slot for some light) have different brightness level with the rarity of the ring.
