What is the torch for? Anything special?

Yes.

It's a very cool quest dynamic with tons of potential further applications. Things like it promise much depth in future quest series that can build on each other. The goblins & the croc feud are both great content & show that the devs are trying out new features.

So it is for a Quest... explains why it seemed strange to me, I have not done any quests yet...

Yes, most quest are "Do x, y times". This one shows a "Meet inventory pre-requisite then do x, y times" dynamic.

This function could be used to make a very cool escort level or more complex boss triggers than kill count : "I am the keymaster, are you the gatekeeper? Zuul! "

People finally caught onto selling torches :(... When quest first came out, I could sell 5 torches for 20k A NIGHT! I listed one for 75k to try it and someone actually bought! Now I am lucky to sell one for 5k, people flooded CS with torches.

Actually Torches go for 1k now. When I first saw them in CS, I thought they were a special item (like Hooch Hat). I keep mine to sell when I feel like it, but to be honest with you, torches should be worth no more than 1k, if that.

Thats why I said I would be lucky to sell one for 5k now. They should be even less then 1k, it was a good exploit while it lasted though.

Um, they are common. I liquidated all of them, even during the quest. Just kill more crocs to get more :)

Most people would even BUY the torches only because they wanted to start the quest immeditly, like me =)

I just found out that the torches are the only way to explode the barrels in the quest.

Why? When the quest first game out, you could sell a torch for 20k in 5 minutes!!!

I thought it was a bit silly people were buying torches. Actually I didn't really believe they'd do that... Goes to show I'm the silly one :P

lmfao no the torch is for blowing up the big barrels!
Btw torch liquidation price is 2 gold. A croc holding a torch drops 1 each kill. so literally pharcyde is saying he can kill 10K crocs in 5 mins -> 2000 crocs in a minute. wow.

I see it as an INVENTORY ITEM, Not a gear piece.

In the future..

"Malbaro"
"Bowl"
"Zombie scalp"
"Pick locketing set"

Etc Etc

sell a torch even with 1k is scam! ;) just run to swamp hag and killing mobs on way u have 1-2 torches..

buts always so, when new maps/quests/items comes out, first who get it can sell at high prices, even the item is total crap..
