Talk:Water Candle

Question, does the effect stack if you have more of them. And does the effect stack if multiple players are carrying one?

You have to quantify the effect first, that said, I plowed through a dungeon picking up every one of these things I could see along the way and there was seemed to be no difference in enemy quantities from the moment I entered to when I left. So, no, I don't believe it "stacks".


 * Does this really increase encounter rate while it is in your inventory, or do you need to be "holding" it (i.e. with it in your hand)? 78.105.8.153 12:44, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if it is in your inventory or if you're "holding" it

Spawn Rate
So exactly how much does the spawn rate of monsters increase when you have this item? It doesn't seem to increase by that much for me. My guess is around 20% increase.

And does this effect work when the item is in the world? Jrob 18:21, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I tested with these for several hours last night while I farmed up my Sunfury, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's currently bugged not to have any effect at all. Its effects are very subtle, assuming they do exist. A 20% increase sounds reasonable. There's no good way to test whether it needs to be held or just in your inventory. Also, it's possible that it only works in certain environments (ie. it only affects Zombie, Skeleton, and Angry Bones spawn rates or something) --Theothersteve7 18:25, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
