Beeswax

Beeswax is the rare part of a wild beehive. Each time you take Honey from one there is a 25% chance of a piece of wax as well. Wild hives stand by the graveyard, at Riverside and at the Bandit Camp, and each refills in about 8 minutes. Your own Beehive is surer: it gives 1 or 2 pieces every harvest.

Besides alchemy, it goes into the candles for the church’s Candelabra. At the Formulation Bench, a Flax Thread with 2 wax makes a Simple Candle, with 3 a Pretty Candle and with 4 a Magnificent Candle, for Candelabra I, II and III.

As an alchemy ingredient it is a handy one: its runes, one red and two green, make a Weak growth elixir on their own, and with one more green ingredient a Rich growth elixir.
