Corpse candle

Burns on nothing at all, a little way off the road, and stays just ahead of whoever follows.

Combat 3, found in Ashfell Road. Pays 6 combat xp, which never decays and never scales with your combat level.

One roll per kill from the table below. Coins and its trophy roll separately, so a kill can yield all three.

Rolled on its own, alongside anything above:

Nothing in the game wants it — no recipe, no enchant, nothing to wear. It is worth 10 coins at any vendor, and that is the whole of what it is for.
