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
