The Spelunker Glowstick in action. Note the sparkles that appear on treasures, in this case a Chest and some Lead Ore.
The Spelunker Glowstick's maximum highlight radius.

The Spelunker Glowstick is a consumable light source that can be held or tossed a fair distance, similar to the regular Glowstick. In addition, it highlights the location of nearby treasures in a 30-tile radius around the glowstick with a slight yellowish glimmer. Spelunker Glowsticks can be purchased from the Skeleton Merchant for 1 SC50 CC each at nighttime. During a full moon, they can also be purchased at daytime.

Notes

  • The Spelunker Glowstick highlights the same treasures as the buff from the Spelunker Potion.
  • Just holding a Spelunker Glowstick already reveals nearby treasure – it is unnecessary to toss it. However, Spelunker Glowsticks also expire after some time when held.
  • Unlike the regular Glowstick, the Spelunker Glowstick disappears after expiring. It does not drop as an item and is therefore not reusable.
  • The treasure-revealing effect is visible to all players in multiplayer.

Tips

  • While the very similar effect of the Magic Lantern is permanent and does not require holding an item in the hotbar, its radius is smaller than the Spelunker Glowstick.
  • Since all treasures are highlighted with the same yellow glimmer, regardless of value, the Spelunker Glowstick becomes less useful as the game progresses. The Spelunker Potion will be more effective as it allows the differentiating of different kinds of treasure.
  • While holding a Spelunker Glowstick from the inventory UI with autopause off, the player can effectively make them last indefinitely, as they do not get consumed if held in the menu.Verify
  • The Spelunker Glowstick has decent synergy with the Metal Detector, as the informational accessory can provide a hint as to what the nearby glistening ores could be. Note that the detected ore is not always the nearest ore.

Trivia

  • The Spelunker Glowstick seems to have been made out of a Bone.
  • It seems to be more bouncy than a regular Glowstick, though not as much as a Bouncy Glowstick.
