Skelly By Everlight

Requirements: 45 Necromancy and 51 Archaeology

Items Needed: Everlight trumpet (can be made/obtained during quest with $ilnkfull31545, 28 $ilnkfull31169, and 24 $ilnkfull31172)

Reward: 7.5k Necromancy xp lamp and 25 Vessel souls

Start Point: City of Um bandstand

To Start: Speak to $plnkfull3586 or $plnkfull3587

1. If you do not see $plnkfull3587, talk to $plnkfull3586 and choose the "Trumpeter" option. She will inform you that she last saw Murry diving off the edge of the ritual site to escape Rasial and suggests that completing a ritual with a Speed alteration glyph (any tier) may call him back. Note that if you have used this glyph previously, Murray will already be present and you can skip to the next step.

2. Head to the Ritual site and perform ANY ritual with a Speed glyph included and Murray will appear at the bandstand. Note that the perk from the Necromancy cape will also work for this requirement.

3. Return to the bandstand and speak to $plnkfull3587, he will ask for some brass. Accept the subquest and he will tell you that he's looking for a new trumpet and always liked the ones that were found at Everlight.

   • If you did not bring an Everlight trumpet, make your way to the Everlight Dig Site Amphitheatre and excavate an $ilnkfull31545. With the trumpet in hand, restore it using 28 $ilnkfull31169 and 24 $ilnkfull31172 at an Archaeology workbench then head back to Murray.
     
     
4. Speak to Murray again and try to give him the Everlight trumpet. He will be unable to use it as it has no soul; an Ensoul Trumpet Ritual should do the trick!

5. Head to the Ritual Site and replace the focus on your pedestal with the Everlight trumpet to perform the Ensoul Trumpet Ritual. This ritual uses:
   • 4 light sources (any work)
   • 2 Elemental I glyph
     • 3 $ilnkfull32118 (each)
   • 1 Change I glyph
     • 2 $ilnkfull32119
     • 1 $ilnkfull32118
   • 1 Commune I glyph
     • 4 $ilnkfull32118
   After completing the ritual, make sure you have collected the $ilnkfull32232 from the Ritual chest.

Requirements: 50 Necromancy

Items Needed: 520 $ilnkfull32219s and 360 $ilnkfull32220s

Reward: 12.5k Necromancy xp lamp and 25 Vessel souls

Continue progressing in the skill until he shows. Once he arrives to the bandstand, speak to $plnkfull3589 and $plnkfull3586 will have to interpret for you as he cannot speak. She will inform you that he wants a piano. Unfortunately, as pianos are kinda big, it wouldn't fit in our backpack. But not to worry! He will "summon" a piano, but it will not have any keys. Noticing this, $plnkfull3586 will suggest going to the Former Master Crafter in the City of Um Pottery, North-East of the bandstand (look for the pottery wheel on the map).

2. Make your way to the Pottery and speak with the Former Master Crafter (this will award you with 25 Vessel souls). He will be very willing to make some piano keys for Zommy if you are willing to provide the materials: 520 $ilnkfull32219s (white keys) and 360 $ilnkfull32220s (black keys) - each key requires 10 of the correct rune. You can bring these in batches if you want, however, as they stack it isn't really necessary. If you brought them with you, he should automatically ask if you want to use the runes to create each type of key, simply choose yes. If you forgot to bring them, or didn't bring enough, fetch them then return to the Crafter and speak with him so he will ask if you want to make them.

3. Once you have the keys, make your way back to Zommy and speak with him. Like before, $plnkfull3586 will speak for him and accept the keys before thanking you.

Hermy And Bass

Requirements: 65 Necromancy and completion of The Spirit of War

Items Needed: $ilnkfull32235 (can be obtained during quest)

Reward: 20k Necromancy xp lamp and 25 Vessel souls

Start Point: City of Um bandstand

To Start: Speak to $plnkfull3586

1. As you will not see $plnkfull3588, talk to $plnkfull3586 and choose the "drummer" option. Depending on if you have or have not yet obtained $ilnkfull32235, her specific wording will change. If you have not obtained the drop, $plnkfull3586 will tell you that Rhythm is hiding inside Hermod, the Spirit of War. She will task you with fighting him until he drops Rhythm's drumsticks. There is bad luck mitigation for this drop so you SHOULD receive it by the time you complete 60 kills.
   
   Once you have obtained the $ilnkfull32235 (before or after starting the Subquest), speak to $plnkfull3586 with them in your inventory and $plnkfull3588 will appear.

2. Speak to $plnkfull3588 and $plnkfull3586 will once again act as interpreter. Accept the Subquest and they will explain that Hermod disassembled Rhythm's drum set and scattered it around the lake. They will explain that if you hop into a boat with the $ilnkfull32235 that Rhythm will be able to work with you to locate all the pieces.

3. Head over to Ed to the North and rent a boat. While paddling around, you can click "manifest" on the drumsticks to get a hint about how many paces you are away from a drum along with a visual hint of a splash in the water. Drums are best found in the order listed on the table below.
