The Spiteful Candle is a Hardmode piece of furniture that is purchased from the Drunk Princess for 50 . The candle emits light and grants the Spite buff to all players within 120x86 rectangular area, which causes enemies to take 5% more damage from all sources, regardless of their damage reduction stat.

Notes

• This does not affect enemies with more than 99% DR such as Sepulcher and adult Eidolon Wyrms.
• Since a player is 2 tiles wide and just under 3 tiles tall and the candle buffs a 120x86 area, covering a large area with no gaps can be done by placing candles every 243 blocks horizontally and 176 blocks vertically.
  • Covering the entire accessible area of a large map with the candle's buff would require 385 candles, costing 192  50 .
    • For medium worlds, it would take 260 candles, costing 130 . For small worlds, it would take 119 candles, costing 59  50 .
    • Covering just a single horizontal stretch (for instance, on a skybridge) would take 35 candles on a large world, 26 on a medium world, and 17 on a small world.
• Unlike the Water and Peace Candles, it cannot be held by the player and is required to be placed down in order to receive its effects.
• Like all items sold by the Drunk Princess, a Discount Card or other similar items will not reduce the candle's price.
• A placed candle will be dropped if it comes in contact with lava (but not water or honey).
