Soot-blind archer

Lost its eyes to the fire and kept its aim, which is the worse way round for everyone else.

Combat 40, found in Sootmarch. Pays 91 combat xp, which never decays and never scales with your combat level.

Rolled on its own, alongside anything above:

Nothing in the game wants it — no recipe, no enchant, nothing to wear. It is worth 86 coins at any vendor, and that is the whole of what it is for.
