the days when every merchant in the game would have these to sell because of all the people who camped the eyes in gorge. Now, you have to go get them yourself.

The Lower Guk Evil eye also drops these. On my monitor I can barely see them when I'm looting the corpse. The tip off is that the corpse wonb't rot once you've looted -- indicating that there is something more inside.

Again, enforcing the fact they are totally random, I was in EK hunting spiders with my level fifty-three warrior and I killed ONE, yes ONE of these and got a:

Polished Bone Bracelet (AC+2 WIS+3 INT+3)
A Bunch of Optic Nerves

So, again, Murphy's law..you can bet I wasn't looking for these things with a Bracer of the Myrmidon and a Bracer of Beneavolance, but I got it..

I ended up destroying it :( or I would have done the quest and handed it to a new player.

You do know there was a time in this game when players could give items to mobs and they would still be there when they died, right? I remember high level players with extra gear going to the newbie yards and putting items on bats, snakes, rats, and other trash mobs for new players to find. Spiders in EK do NOT drop what you said you got. Someone probably placed them there.

Drops on this are very random. One day, I kill about 30 before I get a single drop. Next day, 5 out of about 30.

I spent days trying to get these stupid things. Finally, a lvl46 necro went into the maze and got me two bunches. After he gives them to me, I run to the merchant area in EK to buy some food ... and low and behold, the merchant had them for sale at around 5pp per bunch. You might want to try the merchants in EK before you go around killing evil eyes.

I've killed at least 20 evil eyes and have yet to get these to drop. Where are you finding them at ???
How many?

How many of these make up a bundle?
Thanks,

In some posts this item is incorrectly listed as a "bundle" of optic nerves, but it's just a typo. The name of the item is a bunch of optic nerves and only one is required for the quest.
lore?

i'm assuming these things are no drop, but are they lore? ie, can i get two bracers at the same time or do i have to do the quest twice in a row?
Neither lore nor no-drop

They are tradable, and not lore (but also not stackable). Also, they are actually called a "Bunch" not a "Bundle".

That's why crafted bracers are so cheap compared to the cost of the sapphire used to make them: the quest is good xp, even in the 30's, and can be done in bulk. If you find it easier to get money than xp, the crafted bracer quest is one way of getting a little boost.
