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. The demo has two wild hives you can reach, by the graveyard and at Riverside, and each refills in about 8 minutes.

In the demo it is only an alchemy ingredient, but 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.

Notes

  • Studying it costs 3 Science and 5 Faith and gives 30 red, 40 green and 10 blue.
  • In the full game your own beehives give 1 or 2 pieces of wax every time.
