Hellfire Torch

Getting one of these and then realising the +skills magic doesn't apply for your main >_<

One of the three unique charms, which almost all players use once they can find or trade for one. The other two being

Annihilus and

Gheed's Fortune.

A popular farming target, especially upon ladder reset. 1 in 847 chance (7*11*11) to get the most sought after one - a 20 stats 20% resists Paladin skills torch, a 20/20 PTorch.

You can restore

Hydra charges to

Hellfire Torch by dragging the Repair icon to it.

Light Radius by default is 13 and is capped at 18. Having a

Hellfire Torch with its +8 almost certainly ensures you have maximum visibility.

Torch Sales - Beginner guide for torch sales.

When farming for your desired torch (or to get rich in ladder quickly) NEVER identify a

Hellfire Torch when it drops, instead sell the unidentified torch for runes.

You can then use these freshly aquired runes to buy a new

3x3 Keyset, for farming a new

Hellfire Torch.

The process is quick and straight forward (typically 30 minutes including buying keys and selling torches), requires a rune worth one

3x3 Keyset and a basic smiter paladin with cheap gear (for fun and a well written guide google poor man smiter); and allows you to build the Wealth for buying the torch you desire.

Typically you turn one rune invested for the

3x3 Keyset into four runes for the unid

Hellfire Torch - buying keysets is faster than farming them yourself.

Why does it work? Most torches you find and identify are worthless (the famous Druid torch 10/10 comes to my mind) - typically prices are also worse than the

Key sets you bought for acquiring the torch. See the comment from Gozdev above for your chance of finding your desired torch.
