The firebrand burned down.

Well I guess I might be biased from the big city life. There are always fires burning somewhere to light your torch on.

That's not the problem as such, the site in question is far quieter.

Add olive oil lamps (metal bar + linen / wool + olive oil) which can remain lit for a long time. Provides source of light and fire.
Olive oil coming from pressing olives ofc.

IM THE FIREBENDER

All you ungrateful louts should be glad that the firebrand isn't killing you on breaking.

Seriously, though. I don't mind spending the stamina if it would be a bit more reliable. Torches are nice, but that does mean you need to get a tar kiln, and us low tech players and hermits might not bother with mining. Maybe a proper tinderbox that lets the brand burn for a good 20-40s minimum? That'd be enough to guarantee at least one fire.

Successfully getting a fire to light should fit within the realm of the Survival skill. Stamina cost should be reduced by Constitution. That's imo.

Hot coals in the fireplace was truly a blessing yet still I ask for more!

Well, I think it is at least fair to say that if one wants to "fix" the firebrand, the proper solution is to add more advanced fire-starter devices, rather than to make the firebrand itself more lenient.

Honestly there are two of us living at my camp and we always have a fire going to light a torch off of. Being able to reload the fuel in the fireplace and stoke the coals back up makes it pretty easy. I can't even remember the last time I used a firebrand. I figured everyone was doing it the same way I am.
