Candle

Candle is a craftable item used mainly as a knowledge-oriented support good rather than a general-purpose profit product. In earlier versions, its production efficiency was very poor and importing it was often the only practical option, but the recipe was adjusted in v1.0.0100 and it became much easier to make.

In terms of immediate economy, Candle is still not a strong money maker: compared with non-intellectual labor it is heavily negative in spending, and even when judged only by intellectual labor it is roughly break-even. Its main value comes from its +2 Intelligence bonus, which translates into +10% experience gain, making it useful when you want to raise A_Ratizen more carefully over time.

• If your goal is profit, Candle is usually not the best choice.
• If your goal is character growth, it is worth producing for the Intelligence bonus alone.
• The recipe that uses Beeswax is generally easier to prepare and tends to be more productive in most cases.
