{{IL|The Shuttered Palace}}

{{IL|The Empress' Court}}
* 1700 for [[A Rousing Hymn]] and 3000 for [[An Epic of Far-Off Lands]]; with {{IL|Inspired...}} sourced from [[The lead]] or [[Seek inspiration from your Prismatic Squidling]], this takes 13 (minor works) / 22 (major works) actions and averages 131 / 136 candle stubs per action. With {{IL|Inspired...}} sourced from [[Composition: the high path]], this becomes 11.6 / 20 actions (146 / 150 per action) if you can reliably get 125 {{IL|Drop of Prisoner's Honey|Appearance=honey}} per action from the lab. See [[Carving out a Reputation at Court (Guide)]] for more information.

{{IL|The University}}
* Up to 250 per action for [[Set an ambush]] or [[Sow carnage]] when playing [[Flint or Dagger]], eventually paid out via [[Send a small amount of Bees to Hell]]; requires 4 actions of setup. See [[Hunting Bees in Old Newgate (Guide)]] for more information.

** Maintaining Darkness 0—1 with {{IL|Correspondence Plaque|Appearance=Plaques}} until {{IL|Stoking the Stove|Appearance=Stoking}} reaches 7 and then recovering the stove is strictly worse than lighting candles at Darkness 7, and should only be pursued if already Stoking for other reasons.
