Seasonal Candles in Sky: Children of the Light
Seasonal Candles are a limited-time currency used during an active Season in Sky: Children of the Light. They help you unlock rewards from Seasonal Spirits, including cosmetics, emote upgrades, sheet music, props, and blessings. This guide explains how to earn them, how the daily system works, and what happens when a Season ends.
1. What Are Seasonal Candles?
Seasonal Candles are a special currency available while a Season is active. They are visually distinct from Regular Candles and are spent in the current Season’s reward trees. They are not interchangeable with Regular Candles while the Season is running.
2. How to Earn Seasonal Candles
- Daily Quests: Complete the four daily quests and claim the rewards at the Return Shrine in Home or Aviary Village. Each completed quest awards one Seasonal Candle during an active Season.
- Seasonal Candle clusters: Collect all four seasonal light clusters in the featured daily realm to forge one additional Seasonal Candle.
- Season Pass daily bonus: Season Pass holders can claim one extra Seasonal Candle each day from the relevant shrine.
The daily quest realm and seasonal light-cluster location rotate. Check the Return Shrine’s daily information and the seasonal candle markers at the realm portals to find the featured area.
3. Daily Seasonal Candle Breakdown
| Source | Without Season Pass | With Season Pass |
|---|---|---|
| Four Daily Quests | 4 | 4 |
| Four seasonal light clusters | 1 | 1 |
| Daily Season Pass bonus | — | 1 |
| Daily total | 5 | 6 |
This is the standard daily earning structure described by thatgamecompany’s Help Center. Special events or future updates may adjust activities, so check the current in-game display.
4. Where to Spend Seasonal Candles
Use Seasonal Candles in the current Seasonal Constellation and the relevant Seasonal Spirits’ friendship trees. Depending on the Season, rewards may include:
- Outfits, capes, masks, hairstyles, and accessories
- Emote upgrades and new expressions
- Sheet music, instruments, props, and blessings
- Seasonal Hearts at the top of eligible spirit trees
Some reward nodes require a Season Pass. Review each spirit tree in-game before planning your purchases. Seasonal Hearts are a separate currency and are used for the Season’s Ultimate Gifts; they are not the same as regular Hearts.
5. Season Pass Bonus
During an active Season, a Season Pass provides access to pass-exclusive reward nodes and the daily bonus Seasonal Candle. The official help article describes the extra daily candle as part of the pass benefits. The pass may also include a starting bundle of Seasonal Candles and access to the Season’s Ultimate Gifts, depending on the current offer.
Check the in-game shop and the current Season’s information for the exact benefits, price, and reward requirements before purchasing.
6. What Happens When a Season Ends?
Seasonal Candles are only valid for the corresponding Seasonal Event. According to thatgamecompany’s Help Center, any Seasonal Candles left in your inventory when the Season ends are converted into Regular Candles. Seasonal Spirit reward trees and the Season’s limited-time progression are no longer available in the same way after the Season concludes.
Seasonal Hearts have separate rules. Check the current Season’s in-game notice and official information for their end-of-season conversion and any remaining reward deadlines.
7. Planning Your Seasonal Candle Budget
- Check each Seasonal Spirit’s reward tree early in the Season.
- List the cosmetics and upgrades you want most, then calculate their displayed costs.
- Complete Daily Quests consistently and collect the four seasonal light clusters when practical.
- Prioritise limited-time rewards that matter to you; do not assume a Seasonal Spirit tree will remain available after the Season.
- Verify Season Pass requirements before budgeting for pass-exclusive nodes or Ultimate Gifts.
8. Frequently Asked Questions
How many Seasonal Candles can I earn each day?
The standard total is five per day without a Season Pass and six with a Season Pass: four from Daily Quests, one from seasonal light clusters, and the extra pass-holder bonus.
Where do I collect the Daily Quest rewards?
Complete the tasks and claim the candles from the Return Shrine in Home or Aviary Village. Completing a task alone may not automatically collect the reward.
Do Seasonal Candles become Regular Candles?
Yes. The official Help Center says remaining Seasonal Candles convert to Regular Candles when the Season ends.
Can I use Seasonal Candles from an old Season?
No. Seasonal Candles are valid for their corresponding Seasonal Event. They convert at the end of that Season rather than carrying forward as the same seasonal currency.
Are Seasonal Hearts the same as Seasonal Candles?
No. Seasonal Hearts are a separate reward currency used for the Season’s Ultimate Gifts. Check the current Season’s requirements in-game.
