Are there any Lightstone equivalents available to low-level characters?
As a monk, hefting about a torch or lantern is akin to tying one hand behind your back... but with no firebeetle eyes available from the SoD beetles (and yet you can still equip their eyes in either hand, or in a Range slot), it's either that or run about blind.
Back in the day it was nothing to just squish a firebeetle for a cheap lightsource while making a corpse run from 3/4 of the human-friendly cities on the main continent, just to keep from having your sense of hearing be your only method of mob detection. (and too late, at that)
