Sky: Children of the Light Candles Top Up Guide and Uses
Candles serve as the core currency in Sky: Children of the Light. Players use regular White Candles to build friendships, send daily hearts, unlock friendship expressions (such as high-fives, hugs, and warp abilities), and purchase cosmetics from standard spirits as well as bi-weekly Traveling Spirits.
Collecting candles through standard daily gameplay involves completing candle runs across the realms of Sky, gathering social light, and returning polluted geyser and grandma dinner events. However, acquiring enough candles for time-limited Traveling Spirit cosmetics, seasonal instruments, or prop items often requires more currency than standard daily runs provide. A direct Sky: Children of the Light Candles top up allows you to obtain the exact number of candles you need without spending hours grinding daily wax limits.

Regular Candles vs Seasonal Candles: What You Need to Know
Sky features multiple currency types, each serving distinct purposes in the game economy. Understanding how each candle functions helps you plan your cosmetic purchases and friend upgrades effectively.
| Candle Type | Primary Sources | Core In-Game Uses | Season Expiration Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular White Candles | Daily wax runs, light events, BitTopup top up | Friendship trees, standard Spirit cosmetics, Traveling Spirits, Heart trades | Permanent; never expires |
| Seasonal Candles | Daily seasonal quests, seasonal light nodes, Season Passes | Unlocking nodes in active Seasonal Spirit trees | Converts 1:1 into Regular White Candles at the end of each season |
| Ascended Candles (AC) | Eye of Eden completion, Shard Eruptions | Permanent Wing Buffs from spirits, advanced friendship interactions | Permanent; never expires |
