    Title: Ornate Brass Darklamp - Cause Black Spots
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? No
    Details: Using the offhand item 'Ornate Brass Darklamp' causes black spots to pop up everywhere, especially when harvesting or gathering something while it is equipped. Have not seen this with other light emitting items. Only the darklamp so far.
    Steps to Reproduce: Equip a darklamp and harvest nodes.

    @Garfunkel Humperdinck the last time i saw that kind of effect it was due to bloom. do you have bloom checked on and do you still see them if you turn it off?

    Good idea to toggle test some things. Camera Bloom doesn't make a difference, but turning off Camera Effects does.

    Now occasionally seeing this with Camera Bloom on and Camera Effects off as well. I'll try turning both off to see if it helps.

    Edit: Also the black spot only appear when the darklamp shines on grass as shown above. They don't seem to show up on anything else.

    i can't get this to occur, but passing to @Echondas in case it's a windows thing. (i've left the lamp on your desk in the boat.)

    Figured more out. This problem increases with additional light emission. Using the darklamp in conjunction with a light emitting chest piece, miner's hat & Light spell cause this problem to be very obvious on grass tufts, ect... These black spots are just very fast flashes. They do not persist in any way.

    OK, I can repro this, but specifically in Necropolis Barrens, so far. Steps: stand at the location below, and with the darklamp equipped, use a recall scroll.
