Rumming's Remaining Riddle

General Quest

Humfrey agrees to give you another riddle.

NOTE: While this is a solo quest, I would recommend that you bring along a friend or two, which will make the continual burning of your pants from the salamanders more bearable. Brasse, a level 37 Guardian, and myself, a level 39 Hunter, conquered this quest. Also, thank you to Brasse for helping me with the wordage on this quest!

STEPS:

1) Solve Humfrey Rumming's riddle. Humfrey says to you:


Lesser get of Ancalagon's spawn
Taloned claws and fang-gaped yawn.
Scatha's tears would surely flow
Saw he his children laid so low.

This one seemed tougher to me, filled with lore and stuff, and Brasse and I got it wrong. Twice. Don't worry, our mistakes are your gain, yeah! The answer is WORM, so we headed east (and a tad south) toward that chest, which is on a small island off the southeast part of the main island, so you'll do a bit of swimming to get there (12s, 71w).



2) Bring token of the worm to Humfrey Rumming. Now he finally agrees to tell you what he knows about salamanders. Like you'd want to know after you've been bitten, burnified and bothered by them all this time!

3)After you speak with them and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, and you will now be able to take the next quest, The Terrible Secret of the Salamanders.
