NPC not found

A Goblin Alchemist has been there since the beginning, he is part of the Treant Fists quests. The reason you have not seen him before is because he is an incredbily rare rare spawn, in addition he and his PH are on a 72 minute respawn timer, in addition they are usually killed by the roaming mino's before people see them unless they are camping at the Runnyeye zone.

**Also the Humerous Handled Mace is the quest piece.

Not a bad idea but some of us have already lived with having to make that run for two hours and don't really feel like going through a flagging process so we can flag our 80th twink for "zoning".

For everybody else though, not bad.

Through east commons or runny eye (from Misty Thicket) ...... POK, as cool as it is. has taken a very real feeling world, very tangible, and made it just a series of places.... as if ALL zones are planes. I think every noob should have to go from Queynos to Freeport on foot, Gathering items as they go. If I was a GM, Id make a quest for new people. Showing them how individual cities connect. Its sad really. This is not a flame or slight against you.... its just that its made the world sort of inconsistant.

Here's a picture! There are actually several that can spawn over the zone and they wander around. Dropped around 4 gold :(

There is indeed a Fabled Evil Eye and it does drop what Areeon says, saw and killed it today in the gorge. It popped next to the throne.

My friend, you have surely experienced the wrath of an elemental that had been lured from it's master. I have had this very unfortunate event happen while I was slaying the vile evil eyes. My elemental that had been fighting alongside me suddenly turned and started attacking. In my weakened condition from fighting the eye, I was not able to hold him off and retreated to the zone line. After a little recovery time, I reentered the zone to find that my errant elemental had slain an unfortunate soul passing through, and was standing over his body. With support f another elemental I destroyed the one gone bad, with no experience rewarded, no drops, and the body disappeared to whence it came.

As a 30th level paladin I found everything in this zone easy to solo. I fought one evil eye and resisted every spell it cast at me.

I had my rogue here for a short time but didn't stick around very long (level 14). The muddites usually drop heavy clay crap which will encumber you fairly quickly. The exp is nothing spectular, on par with most other areas. At 19, I'd suggest Highpass Hold and then heading down to the Keep once you hit 20 or 21. You will get 1/3 to 1/2 blue per mob in your low 20s in a group of 6. Most people ding 1-3 times/day down in the Keep. The loot usually sucks until you hit the warrior room or the raider room, where fine steel is dropped along with ore that sells for 1-4pp.

If your pick pocket skills are up, you should be able to take out 1-2pp per mob. I've been doing this and letting the others in the group take the loot but I still grab an occasional loot when I see them holding a weapon :) By 35 or 36, my disarm was high enough that I'd disarm them once every 20-25 tries, pick up the weapon mid-battle, and no one would even notice. On a good night in the warrior or raider room you should be able to make 50-150pp on money alone and another 20-50pp selling the loot. The great thing about the zone is that there is bank about 1 minute away up the stairs and several merchants nearby. The bank *is* bindable so if you die, the CR isn't a hassle. There's a rogue trainer in Rivervale and one also in the Hold (I haven't tried the one in the Hold since I hear the smugglers aggro on any PC).

One warning, though - this zone is usually heavily camped. Each camp can have waiting lists of 2-4 people waiting to join. Once you're in a group, make sure your schedule is open and stay in it. If you leave, you'll usually have a long wait to get back into the action.

not to be rude but the gems aren't worthless and actually neither is the jewelry i am a 36th lvl chanter and take several lower lvl alts there for the exp and the LOOT!! the gems alone are almost priceless to me as a jeweler and most of the jewelry is worth 2-5 pp depending on server and chr when selling....the nerves are for warrior crafter armor quest and the valuable at that too...shop around i'll bet you will fnd that the gems and jewelry are worth far more than you think unless ya got a high level alt that feed your bank account 10k at a pop...

p.s. look me up if you want to sell a stack or two of gems...especially dropped gems

Toasted him this morning (April 11th at 0645 Pacific Time) as I was on my way to Runney Eye entrance to log. Loot consisted of the following:
* Damaged Annals
* Small block of Clay x 2
* Small Ore x 2

Total hit points around 300. I know this cause I hit him with Thunder Strike (262) and then beat on him with my Forest Giant Hammer, 3 hits 21, 3, 17.

Only killed him because I had never seen him before... Anyone know his rarity? Use for drop? When did he start spawning?

yeah it probably was a player because i have been in beholders maze with a group fighting an evil eye and it charmed one person and they killed me

err im 18 opps sry

As a fellow druid i 2 had leveling problems. This being my first char, i really didn't know where to go! Someone mentioned HighHoldPass. I went there and found myself at lvl 20 in 3days! 1day/lvl. the best part is, i only played about 2hrs. a day!
Good Luck,

I have come across 3 of these "fake" eyes. 2 times I tried to pull them with an arrow, and they died in one shot. The third time, my lvl 20 Shaman friend killed with a single DD spell. In each case, they were wandering, and had no pet. They do not seem to have any of the nice loot evil eyes normally carry, although the last one did have no drop bottle of optic fluid.

I know this is a late response to this. I have a set of the screenshots from this event that someone posted way back when this happened. Just seeing the old interface and the old models really takes one back down memory lane. Not sure if anyone is interested in seeing the set.

No, haven't heard of Qlie, but i love your phrase! "..he would slap me around like Mike Tyson's wife, so I let him pass." lol!

Ahem... if you look right above it clearly says that his lvl range is 16-18, which is obviously not red, but green to a lvl 43

I saw the alchemist yesterday... was at Runneye zone fighting a gorge minno... dropped some hammer thing 5/29 I think it was.

My monk has been working on Instill Doubt and waiting for the alchemist to pop for the past few days, so I know pretty much the before and after of this zone. First off, this may be an error that will be corrected, but Diggs Duggins is now scowling at everyone. Since he's level 55 and hits for well over 400 a pop, keep clear of him. Second, there is new pathing. The minotaurs and muddites will now wander into the Runnyeye entrance. They just love aggroing on casters there, so go up on the walls to med. There are also some new spawn points there, one just a slight way down each branch out of Runnyeye and the other right in that Runnyeye tunnel. Minos usually pop there but sometimes muddites. Oh yeah, there are a LOT more minos running around the place now. (It also seems Qlei may be popping a bit more often, over at the junction to the EK valley I believe.) The other pathing bit is a glitch. If you train some mobs into the valley to EK, they can't get back into the main flow of traffic and will keep going back and forth in that valley. Quite a crowd there, so either be invis or be ready to move to the side wall as soon as you zone. Finally, there are new factions in the gorge. The goblins in the gorge are now indifferent or apprehensive. The other goblins in Misty are the same as before. The new Runnyeye goblins in the Liberated Citadel of Runnyeye are much more aggressive, with greens tending to aggro randomly. They also have a lot more hit points that other mobs of the level. Like about twice as many. The two spawns at the old turning point in the path are still there, but now the goblins start moving as soon as they spawn, and the minotaurs and goblins will now attack each other. So if you want the alchemist you are going to have to try to keep that area clear and grab him as soon as he pops and take him down fast. So, to the factions:
Runnyeye Goblins (in the gorge): +PickclawGoblins, +GuardiansoftheVale, -KingXorbb
Pickclaw Goblins (in Runnyeye): +KingXorbb, +Rivervale factions, -PickclawGoblins
Eyes, Muddites, Minotaurs (in the gorge): -KingXorbb, +PickclawGoblins, +ClanRunnyEye
