Waycandles

A Waycandle is burned at the Waycandle Gate to open a map. Its tier sets how strong the monsters are. Where it takes you is a surprise: the biome is rolled when you enter. A tier 1 Waycandle is always free, and monsters have a small chance to drop more, sometimes one tier higher than the map you're on. Each boss drops 2.

Tiers

Kill enough monsters to call the boss. The first time a character beats the boss of a tier that gives Ascendancy points, that character earns them.

Juicing

Using crystals on a Waycandle adds modifiers, just as on gear. Each one makes the map harder and pays you back. These crystals work on Waycandles:

• Lone Wake: Turns a Normal item into a Magic item with one modifier.
• Lone Bloom: Adds a modifier to a Magic item that has room for one.
• Twin Crown: Upgrades a Magic item to Rare and adds one modifier.
• Twin Ember: Adds a modifier to a Rare item that has room for one.
• Choir Hex: Removes a random modifier from a Rare item and adds a new one.
