I spoke to DrewRadio about this and he has never heard of them. I found 16 Torches, all of them soulbound, near a spawner. I just want to know if these are some sort of promo item or if it may be a glitch.
Many Soulbound items such as Soulbound Torches and Soulbound Eggs are now given to new players after completing tutorial, seeing as how some go out to the Wild, die and lose all their stuff, this new attribute to these items helps these players
Soulbound torches, sheep eggs, cow eggs, oak wood planks, and bread all exist as they are given to new players.
