| Bench tier needed | tier 3 |
| Build limit | The wiki gives two build limits, 6 and 10, and we do not pick one |

Effects are reworded from the wiki and limited to what it states. Numbers marked "about" are approximate on the wiki too.
The wiki disagrees with itself on the build limit, so we show both and pick neither. Crafting page description: "placed up to ten times"; Crafting page: "max of 6 Torches".
