June 15, 2026 - I used a water candle for a 33% spawn rate increase, then I turned it to Revengeance Mode for an extra 17.65% spawn rate increase, then I used an item called the battle cry for 10x spawn rates, then I used a battle potion for an extra 100% increased spawn rate, and finally used a bloody tear to summon a blood moon to roughly double all of that.

Calamity Glitch! :: tModLoader General Discussions
June 2, 2023 - If you are capable of making battle potions you should, you can get free water candles in dungeon pre skeletron without angering the guardian, and you should make it a blood moon as well. Even easier if you make platforms or a bridge to catch any dolls but careful with lava slimes. Additionally, you could just get the riptide instead which isn't too bad. yeah, i set up a farm and got it after an hour or two. still, i like to play calamity because it negates most of the grind.

October 17, 2013 - Holding a Water Candle in the player's hand will increase all enemy spawn rates by 33%, and increase the maximum number of simultaneous on-screen enemies by 50%. Note that it must be held, simply being somewhere in the inventory will not suffice.

Debuffs - Official Calamity Mod Wiki
3 weeks ago - The Calamity Mod introduces a debuff resistance and vulnerability system. There are five sets of debuffs that enemies may be resistant or vulnerable to: cold, water, sickness, electricity and heat. If an NPC is vulnerable to one of these sets, damage over time (DoT) effects from that set are 2x as effective.

According to Terraria's official wiki page on Water Candles:

Holding a Water Candle in your hand will increase the monster spawn probability to 133% and the maximum number of monsters to 150%.

They produce light like a regular torch or candle would. If you have them on tables as props, they produce some lovely spooky lighting. However, they don't increase the spawn rate like this.

To increase the spawn rate with a water candle, hold it in your hand. It can't just be in the top row of your inventory - it must be the currently active and held item.

Keep a weapon handy so that you can swap back and forth between your water candle and weapon as necessary. You can't hold both at the same time, but you can at least run around luring enemies out with your water candle, attack them all, then return to luring enemies out.

Water candles placed in the world and those actively held in your hand increase the spawn rate and maximum number of enemies. As of 1.3.0.1 these effects do not stack, and a maximum of one candle will count at a time.

For versions before 1.3 see the old answer below.

According to the disassembled code (1.2.0.3.1), placed water candles also affect spawnrate and max spawns. This effect is separate from holding the candle in your hand and will stack with it. A single placed water candle is enough and only one matters.

NPC.spawnRate = (int)((double)NPC.spawnRate * 0.75); // Spawns happen 33% more often, spawn interval multiplied by 0.75
NPC.maxSpawns = (int)((float)NPC.maxSpawns * 1.5f); // Spawn limit increased by 50%, multiplied by 1.5

Both effects are the same and when stacked (holding a candle and placed a candle) spawnrate is increased by 78% and maximum spawned enemies is increased by 125%.
