Candle

A candle is an object involved in firemaking which can be bought in several places: Keldagrim, the candle shop in  Catherby, the Tai Bwo Wannai or Shilo Village shops on Karamja, and from other players. You can also by candles from the candle seller near the Lumbridge Swamp Caves (note that he charges 1,000 coins for a candle, by far the most expensive way to buy them)



Alternatively, a player can steal a candle in the Entrana Church, north of the altar. Level 20 thieving is required to do this. Players can also pick one up at a candle spawn on the bottom floor of the Watchtower in Yanille, on the second floor of the Sword Shop in Varrock, or in the Monastery south of Ardougne.

Please note that only unlit candles can be traded or sold.

Most candles are white, however there is a black candle that is used during the Merlin's Crystal quest, obtained from the Candle Maker in Catherby.

Candles are a light source, meaning that they are used to light up caves like the Lumbridge Swamp Caves or the Giant Mole cave. However, candles will not stay lit forever, so it is highly recommended to take a tinderbox with you to relight them when venturing into a dark place. For example, if your light source goes out in the Lumbridge Swamp Caves, you will be rapidly attacked for low damage 3-4 times a second. This can provide a quick death for an unsuspecting lower level player.

Candles are used in various quests, such as Enakhra's Lament.
