There are a lot of new features in Ark Survival Ascended and one of them is the ability to put a torch on your belt. In Ark Survival Evolved, you’d have to either carry a torch or put it on the ground, so this is an upgrade you’ll want to know how to do.
Ark Survival Ascended: How to equip a torch on your belt
Though putting a torch on your belt isn’t the only difference between Ark Survival Evolved and Ark Survival Ascended, it is one that can make a big difference. If you aren’t messing with settings and mods, the nights in Ark Survival Ascended can be very long and very dark. Having a torch on your side and a weapon in your hands is the best way to explore at night.

To equip a torch to your belt, simply right-click your torch and select “put on belt.” When the torch is on your belt, it stays lit and has the same durability as if you were to hold it or put it on the ground which is about 15 minutes. When you want the torch off your belt, simply right-click it again and select “remove from belt.”
Another cool thing you can do is put a torch on a saddle. To do this, you need to be riding on a dino and then right-click and add the torch to the saddle. With this, you can ride through dark forests at night with a torch on your dino or fly through the skies with a light source to distract other online players.
Of course, to put a torch on your belt, you need to create a torch. You can easily do this with one flint, one wood, and one stone. If you don’t want your torch on your person, you can place it in a standing torch or wall torch, both of which become unlocked at higher levels.
If your torch ever goes out, you can very quickly and easily repair it with the same resources needed to craft it. Have fun with your new pocket torch!
