What provisions to take to particular dungeons (Cove, Ruins, Weald, Warrens, Darkest)?

I think I got the hang of basic provisioning in sense that I take:
- 12 food (+6 per dungeon length, so 18 for medium and 24 for long)
- 8 torches (12/16)
- 1 shovel (2/3)
Obviously, this is for run where I keep light >75%. Also I modify provisions slightly depending on team comp - like if I have Vestal I tend to need at least 20-30% less food and torches.
But is there a MUST item to bring to certain dungeons? After experimentation and Googling I started bringing Key to Ruins but am stuck trying to figure out exact items for other dungeons. Most of the guides I find online are somewhat outdated and give provisions for pre-release version of the game.

From personal experience I would suggest as a baseline a bit less food since you usually find some (at least for short ones), same with torches (6 for small), and a 1 of everything else. Next, based on DarkestDungeon Wiki - Curio you can estimate what extras you need given where you go:
- Ruins: + Holy Water, + Skeleton Key, + Shovel
- Warrens: + Herbs, + Holy Water
- Wield: + Antivenom, + Bandages
- Cove: + Shovel
- Crimson Court: +++ Shovels, + Herbs (thanks, @ZealousHypocrites)

What should I bring to the ruins in darkest dungeon?
It is recommended that when you buy the following items when entering the Ruins dungeon: 8 pieces of Provisions (increase by 4 per available Firewood), 2 Keys, 2 Shovels, 5-8 Torches, Holy Water, and Herbs. This is because most of these items can be used with the environment to get loot or heirlooms.How do I prepare for darkest dungeon?

Torches -- The Courtyard doesn't use the same torch light mechanic as the other areas of the game, so these aren't required. However, they do offer a bonus to accuracy, and can be used on Cocoons and Thronging Hives for stress reduction and finding treasure.Provisions and You: Darkest Dungeon Guide
