Animal Fat and Candles - The information Thread on the New Wurm Add-Ons!

[Dannyiron 6]

Thank you for implementing these into the game!

INFORMATION:

How to create a candle:

You create a candle by using one animal fat (whatever weight, 3 or 4kg) and use it on 0.20kg string of cloth. This will create various weight candle and all of the string and animal fat is used.

If you used a pig fat (3kg) or any other fat weighing 3kg it will create a 0.15kg candle. Deer and bull fat (4kg) or any other fat weighing 4kg it will create a 0.20kg candle. (Thanks to Wossoo for seeing the weight difference)

If you fail to create the candle, the animal fat and the string of cloth dissapear and 0.20kg of rags is left behind.

Can I paint my candle?

Apparently, you cannot paint a candle. I will definitely try this later, to be 100% sure, but for now, we can be 99% sure this is correct.

Candle Quality

Thanks to Madt for noticing this. Both of my candles have decreased in 3 quality in about 10 minutes from 20.54ql to 17.54ql and from 14.54 to 11.54.

Candles can not be improved once made, see the first screenie for what it says when you examine them.

It also appears that the quality of fat used will determine the % chance to create the candle; and the string of cloth will determine the candle quality. It also appears that a candle's quality is no more than the quality of the string of cloth used. ( Thank you Roxana for finding that out )

Will a candle go into a candelabra?

No, a candle will not fit into a golden candelabra. Neither the 0.20kg candle or the 0.15kg candle will fit into it, and there is no option to put it in.

Thanks to wossoo for giving me the idea to try this.

Skill for candles

There is no new skill for candles; but I think it is under natural substances. Will confirm this or change it.

Confirmed; making candles improves the skill 'Natural Substances' Under Alchemy.

Animals you can obtain animal fat from:

Also note that it is possible to obtain animal fat from starving animals. I obtained pig fat this way, but either I had worse luck or it was harder than off fat or normal animals.

Also note that I have obtained animal fat from the below animals so they definitely give animal fat.

-Deers. Animal fat weight: 4kg

-Pigs. Animal fat weight: 3kg

-Bulls. Animal fat weight: 4kg

-Wild Boars (Apparently. Will confirm) Animal fat weight: kg

(Will try finding more)

Animals that do not give animal fat:

- Black wolves - do not.

- Hens - do not

- Roosters - do not

- Brown Bears - do not

- Unicorns - (Apparently) do not

- Mountain Lions - do not

- Crocodiles - do not

- Wild cats - do not

- Trolls - (Apparently) do not

- Dogs - do not

- Scorpions - do not

- Mountain Gorillas - do not

(Will find more)

Pictures of candle:

I have made a candle from deer fat and one from pig fat. They do not stack to Candle (2x) They remain in my inventory as candle and candle.

On the ground, both candles when they stack into a pile do not give off light.

Candle brightness:

Candle (unlit):

Candle (1x) (lit) (Deer fat candle):

Candle (2x) (both lit) (1 Deer fat candle 1 Pig fat candle)

Candle Brightness (Between Quality)

1.00ql candle:

41.52ql candle:

Conclusion:

There is no brightness difference between candle qualities.

Miscellaneous screenshots on fat and candles:

Some Animals I killed trying to find out which gave fat.

The previous image but with one new animal, guess which one?

The previous image again but with a new face, I wonder which one it could be....

[Guest Arkaim]

That's odd, there's no mention of a candle model in the packs.

[Dannyiron 6]

Hence the questionmark icon for them

There is no question mark icon. Only for animal fat.

ql goes down as it burns.

Mine have both gone down 3ql so far to 17.64ql and 11.64ql

So how do you make it?

[Dannyiron 6]

So how do you make it?

One animal fat plus 0.20kg string of cloth. it makes a 0.20kg candle if the animal fat used weighed 4kg and a 0.15kg candle if the animal fat used is 3kg. Making a candle uses all of the animal fat.

[Wossoo 1,915]

Hmm... My candle was 0.15...

anyways, I think success chance is based on misc items but more on the animal fat ql.

[Dannyiron 6]

Update on lots and lots of candle information on the original post! Animals that do and don't give fat, what state they can be in, what skill candlemaking harnesses, how to make a candle, what is made when you fail to make them, and lots more information! See the original post!

Hmmn, Yes, You're right. One of mine is 0.15kg, one is 0.20kg.

Also, has anyone tried them on a candelabra? Would make sense to be able to put candles on them.

kajmir gave me that idea. I am going to pop up to the NT merchant and see if there is a cheap candelabra.

Also, I edited candle weight into the original post. Thanks wossoo

Edit:

Got my hands on a candelabra. Going to try.

Nope, a candle will not go into a golden candelabra.

[SwedishPhoenix 12]

Oh, oh OHHH!

Please allow us to put candles into candelabras! They could work as a lantern, using up to 4 candles as fuel and the higher ql of the candelabra the brighter it would light.

Please  :'(

It's a very good idea

Nope, this is no joke, these are in-game screenshots.

I am killing everything to find what gives animal fat. I even killed an adolescent starving crocodile and an adolescent starving wild boar.

Err... Umm... Candles! Are candles better than lanterns with their brightness?

[Ryuu 0]

anyone tried butchering a human corpse yet (me looks at BL) no one suggested this :S maybe its my old BL genes.

p.s. tower gaurds etc too

[froggeryz 41]

Bulls give animal fat (4kg)

Cow and calf probably gives aswell, but I'm not sure.
