"Half-burned torches for sale!"

[MKula]

Actually it doesn't. Suppose a person is carrying a torch or a lantern and gets killed then the torch/lantern will not automatically turn off/stop burning. It will continue to burn until the fuel is finished in which case you will have light sources with zero turns of light in them. Only the fully fueled sources of light in the backpack will survive. Unless you like keeping partially used torches in your backpack.

It might stop burning. Especially if the floor is dirty/wet/whatever. Or even if someone just drops a torch (maybe because they found something better), they might put it out first.

I always assumed that the floor was littered with completely burned out torches anyway; the only ones that show up in game are the ones worth mentioning (i.e. the ones with some fuel remaining). It's the same thing with the sticks and bones that used to be in the game in the v2.9.* days that got removed; I guess it's assumed they're there, but they're not worth mentioning because they're not useful.

Well I guess if they are neat freaks, me I would just throw the thing away and run after whatever shiny Phial thing attracted my attention and I don't see monsters taking the time to douse their torches before throwing them away.

You got me there. Thats a pretty valid point. But then we again come to the point as to how they have SOME fuel in them?

Hmmm if we assume that the act of wielding them lights the torches and the act of taking them off douses them then it could be said that dieing could automatically unwield the torches thus leaving on the floor a partially burned torch

Uhm... Is refuelling lanterns removed as well?

Nope, it still works like it always did; you still need flasks of oil or another lantern to do it.
