The WoW Forever torch players are searching for is the Night Watchman's Torch, a cosmetic toy found through a quick quest in the abandoned town of Raven Hill in Duskwood during the beta. It lets your character hold a burning torch that acts as a real light source, which makes it useful for exploring dark areas even though it changes nothing about your damage or stats. The beta's level cap of 30 means anyone in the test can go pick it up right now.<\/p>\n
Head to Raven Hill in Duskwood and look behind the biggest building in town, next to an outhouse. There you can sometimes find the corpse of a slain Night Watch Guard. Interacting with the body gives you the quest An Unfortunate End, and completing it rewards the Torch.<\/p>\n
The catch is that the guard may not always be up, so you might need to wait or check back if the corpse is not there.<\/p>\n
The Night Watchman's Torch is a toy, so it goes into your toy collection rather than taking up a bag slot as a normal item would. Using it makes your character hold a torch, and the effect is purely cosmetic.<\/p>\n
The buff lasts 5 minutes and has a 30-second cooldown. Two restrictions apply: you cannot use it in cities, and the torch disappears the moment you initiate combat.<\/p>\n
The practical upside is that the torch provides an actual light source, which looks good in the darkest areas of the game. If you are leveling through gloomy zones, it is a free way to see where you are going without fiddling with your graphics settings.<\/p>\n
Separate from the toy, the Forever database lists a Light Torch spell with a 3-second cast that consumes one Unlit Torch as a reagent and creates a Burning Torch. That spell has no cooldown and no cost, and its range is 0 yards, meaning it targets only yourself.<\/p>\n
There is also a plain Torch item listed in the Forever item database, though the entry carries no usable details beyond the name.<\/p>\n
Yes, if you enjoy cosmetic collectibles. The quest is short, the reward is permanent once you have it, and the light source has genuine utility in dark corners of the world. Just do not expect it to help you in combat, since the effect drops as soon as a fight starts.<\/p>\n
