Pieces of Light (also called Wax) are orbs that players can collect to forge Candles, one of the main currencies in Sky. They are primarily collected by lighting red Candles or burning Darkness Plants found throughout the Realms. This page documents sources of Light with permanent locations and precise Light counts. Other sources of Light that are variable, for a limited-time, or involve randomization are documented at Additional Light Sources.
Usually, Light appears as red fire orbs, floating above Candles that are lit or in a location where Darkness has been burned. Blue orbs may appear instead when Darkness is burned near water or when spawned by water-specific Light sources (clams, fish, etc.). Blue and red fire orbs are equivalent and functionally the same.
When a player approaches these Pieces of Light, the Light will fly into their bodies and fill up the Candle meter displayed in the top left corner of the screen. When it is fully filled, the player can click on the meter to forge a Candle, adding it to their total count. Un-claimed Candles continue to stack until they are forged, so players can choose whether they wish to forge them one-by-one or all at once.
Every day at 00:00 midnight Pacific Time (PST/PDT), all Light sources reset. Not all Darkness Plants are available every day, as certain Darkness only appear every other day. In Golden Wasteland (but not in any other Realm), all Darkness Plants are available on Sundays.
Light Sources[]
There are several ways to collect Light. Some areas can contain their unique Light sources, such as the Small Clams in Treasure Reef or the Flower Bouquets in Village Theater, but those are documented in the Additional Light Sources page.
These are some Light sources, each with an estimate of how many Pieces of Light they give:

With the new Daily Light system, players are able to collect approximately 20 Candles per day. (Note: Light is still stored in your inventory, even if it is not forged.)
Information on this page and the Additional Light Sources page were gathered by numerous editors throughout the years (Chiychiy (Profile | Contributions), Omicron23 (Profile | Contributions), Jet Lye (Profile | Contributions), Numaner (Profile | Contributions), Ray808080 (Profile | Contributions), Ghostingskies (Profile | Contributions), etc). Special thanks to lonelyste on Discord for the initial candle count data in 2021 and the detailed verification of several under-documented sections in 2024, galerowfylery on Discord for providing data on many variable Light sources, and pingubot on Discord for collecting the Sliding and Flying Race fragment count.
