**Torch** is a utility item in Remixed Dungeon that provides light in dark dungeon areas.

==== Description ====
The Torch is a basic light source that temporarily increases the hero's field of vision in dark dungeon areas. It can be especially useful for exploring and identifying dangers from a distance.

==== Basic Stats ====
  * **Type**: Utility Item
  * **Stacks**: Yes
  * **Weight**: 1
  * **Identified**: Always identified
  * **Degrades**: Yes (burns out after a time)

==== Uses ====
  * Provides light for 5 turns when lit
  * Allows hero to see further in dark areas
  * Can be used strategically to reveal hidden enemies or traps
  * Can be combined with fire-based attacks to light flammable elements

==== Acquisition ====
  * Found in dungeon levels, especially in the early areas
  * Sometimes found in containers like [[en:rpd:chests_mechanic|Chests]]
  * May be dropped by certain [[en:rpd:mobs|Mobs]]
  * Available in [[en:rpd:shops|Shops]] when they stock utility items

==== Strategy ====
  * Use torches to safely scout ahead in dark corridors
  * Light torches before entering rooms when you suspect enemies are present
  * Consider timing your torch usage to maximize their benefit
  * Torches can be used as a last resort for fire-based effects (though not as effective as dedicated fire attacks)
