I have just 2 simple request.
Either:
Let fires burn longer (12 hours).
Or:
Make firebrands at least don't burn out while making the fire.
It's annoying to way 1 minute to get your firebrand, which takes half your stamina, just to let it burn down on 90% to repeat the process.
Nothing fun or larpy with that.
By that note, i'm pretty sure that there were a ton of request for like "light torches" Simple standing torches which are spending light and nothing more which burn for a long period before going out to kindle a holding torch.
That would also be okay.
