== {{IL|Foxfire Candle Stub}} ==
{{#set:Has grind objective=Foxfire Candle Stub}}

{{IL|Veilgarden}}
* 1-200 (average 100.5) for [[An admirer among the clergy]] at {{IL|Persuasive}} 100, requires {{IL|A Person of Some Importance -|Appearance = PoSI}}

{{IL|The Shuttered Palace}}
* 420  for [[An arrangement with the Vicar-General]] in exchange for {{IL|Favours: The Church|1 x}}

{{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.

{{IL|The Labyrinth of Tigers}}
* 1790 on average for [[Breed the Tomb-Lion 4]]; takes at least 8 actions and a {{IL|Tomb-Lion}}. See [[Breeding Monsters (Guide)]] for more information.

{{IL|The Hurlers}}
* With [[Hurlers Thermal  Development]],  variable number for [[Light some candles at the stove 2]] which depends on [[Hurlers: Darkness]]: min ~175 at Darkness 7 and max ~500 at Darkness 0. [[Stoking the Stove]] to lighten the area costs [[Correspondence Plaque]]s and eventually takes ~5 actions to reset Stoking.
** Maintaining Darkness 1 or lower with {{IL|Correspondence Plaque|Appearance=Plaques}} and lighting candles, then when {{IL|Stoking the Stove|Appearance=Stoking}} reaches 7 lighting candles until Darkness reaches 7, then recovering the stove, is a loop that takes 50 actions and 189 Plaques for approximately 7300 Candle Stubs, around 270 per action at an Echo cost of 9.5{{E}}. This is strictly worse than spending 50 actions lighting candles at Darkness 7, which yields ~8750 Candle Stubs without the cost in Plaques.
