Clan RunnyEye

What is the spawn time Runney Eye.
Went there today to camp the warlord room some and we go in clean the room out and sit to wait for the 20 min spawn back. Well 20 mins come and go, then 30 min. We give up and get bored and leave.
Has the spawn time been changed after the dungeon was changed ?

I am a lvl 11 druid that is currently hunting crushbone but I think I should give runnyeye another try for the sake of its my hometowns enemy and I need to stop runnyeye and I need to know if its safe for me to go in there.

Is about 55 minutes.

how far in runnyeye can a lvl 19 druid and warrior camp for loot.

I benn wanting to go to runny eye but from what people tell me i almost am affard to. i have a lvl 10 shaman almost 11 should i go to runnyeye?

I would like to get better equitment. i would also like to know what monsters drop blackend armor?

A little twist that I would like you all to be aware of.

I killed the Battlelord at lvl 39, even got experience. So far so good. However, after I've done that, some green small goblins called Foeseekers, started chasing me all over the dungeon, popping up right behind me and backstabbing for around 150 damage. Plus all goblins near them started aggroing on me.

This only happened after I apparently committed the crime of mureder of the big boss. Before that, I used to walk right past the foeseekers and not aggro them. They cast some search spell, it appears and zero down on you without fail.

As a lvl 39 monk I had to slowly withdraw from the dungeon, pulling a LOT of feigns, and wasting a LOT of bandages, hehe. It was fun, though

I have heard that the Goblin Janitor has high quality STACKABLE ore as a rare drop. This is needed to make the vale sewing kit used by halflings in tailoring. Has anyone gotten this ore off of him? And if so, how rare has it been? I am looking for some on the Tribunal server if anyone has any I would gladly buy it from them. Need 2 pieces to make the sewing kit.

I thought that Varent had fixed the greeny aggro problem. There is nothing more irritating than walking in here and having 6 greens jump you and no give you exp. I know that some greens that are close to being blue attack and that's okay, but the darn things that have no buisness attacking you should leave you alone. It's like walking into a swarm of mesquito's for crying out loud, they're always nipping at me and it's a pain in the butt!! Anyway I was really wondering if the lower lvls have less aggroing mobs. I read that someone said the sporali's were doubiously or something so does that mean they wont mess with me as much for just walking by? Also, what lvl is the sporali defender on?? I WANT THAT DANG BLADE!! HEHE)

Info on RunneyEye:

For starters this dungeon did not get any easier. In my opinion it got harder. There are a lot more wondering goblins and sporali. I will break this down by floor to the best of my ability.

Floor 1:

Pretty good for low levels a few wondering goblins and some standard spawn areas make this area nice for low levels. I can not say which levels it is best for since nothing on this floor agros on me. The dangers are simple several MOBS and a few casters that have some nice damage spells (highest I have seen is 50+). Plus the majority of the MOBS have damage shields.

Floor 2:

This floor is much harder now then the old Runney. Yes they removed the EEs from this floor so nothing way to high to mess with you. Most things appear to be around 16 - 20(odd to find something 20, but has happened). The real danger is the number of goblins on this floor and the combination of classes. They have wizards, enchanters, shamens, warriors and rogues. I have been hit by a wizard( I think they are Fleshburners) for 100+ damage. Have not spent much time on this floor since everything is green to me. Blackened Iron Armor drops of the ArrowEaters and Bladestoppers. Most rooms contain up to 4 goblins plus there are always wonders. Occasionally a sporali will wonder around this floor also. The sporali will not agro on you right away. They should con dubious to you at first. If you kill a few this will change of course.

If you want to venture down to the second floor, I recommend using the blocked stairs not the long ramp. The blocked stairs lead to the room that use to have the EE siting in it. If you go down the long ramp you could be in for a huge fight with all the MOBS that move around that area.

Floor 3:
The home of Sporali or as I like to call them shroomheads. These guys are pretty tough and seem to be around level 18 - 22. The hardest being the defender that hits for 50+. There is also the named sporali the moldmaster. He is a caster, not sure what type but would say Shamen class. He is very tough, not sure of what level though. Sporali are great exp but they dont drop good loot. You will get some high quality ore and gems but not often. They do drop a nice caster shield on occasion too. The Sporali defenders blade can be found on the Moldmaster or a defender on occasion.

A few things to note about the Sporali:

1 -- They regenerate faster than average.
2 -- When they die the leave some seeds on occasion. These turn into little Sporali that will jump you in a fight. They do not have a lot of hp but hit hard. If you stay in one area and fight for some time, you will have like 5 of these pop at once and be on you.

Floor 4:

This is where the good loot is. Like level 2 they have several classes out there but are much harder. Every room seems to have 3 - 5 spawns in it + there are wondering mobs. The casters hit hard and fast the worst being the Slayspell. This guy ripped of 3 spells on me each doing 175 damage. There are the Zekspeak which are shamans and they hit hard too but nothing compared to the slayspell. I have not run into an enchanter on this floor.

The Rogue class is represented by the Foeslicer and loves nothing better then to Backstab you for 150+ damage, so dont turn your back on him.

The warrior class is represented by the Foechopper (lowest level) then the Destroyer and the Vets. These guys all drop BA armor. It is a very rare drop off of the Foechopper and not a common drop off the destroyer or vets. The destroyer and vet also drop the BA longsword and ******* Sword, but these are also rare.

Most of these goblins have some plat, have gotten 5 plat off of one before. They drop alot of words too.

The Battlelord, Battlewizard, Lord Picklaw all have random spawns so they can not be camped and can not be avoided.

Just a note all the the casters can cast through walls around corners and out of sight.

If you go and are 18 - 22 take friends, hunt level 2 and 3. Run like hell if you get 2 or more casters on you. 23 - 28 can partner pretty easy if there are others in the zone and on the same floor. You want to hunt level 4 and depending on your group and levels avoid the Battlewizard. His spells are up to 250 damage. After 28 I would say most things, except names, will be green. So that is your choice as to what to fight.

At level 25 nothing on the 2 floor gave me exp. The 3rd floor was all light blue and some greens.
The 4th floor is all blue except the named spawns that are all red. Battlelord is yellow at 26.

Hope this helps someone.

Whoever says the story doesn't make sense, you are high, and didn't go very deep into the zone at ALL.

You were hanging out in an area obviously designed for high teens-low 20's, so of course you found it fairly easy in your late 20's.

Go pick on Lord Pickclaw or any of his friends in the old King area, and you will see how they chased the Evil Eyes out and beat the Runnyeye goblins.

Individually, they are tougher than the old goblins. And they have better loot to compensate for that.

The zone isn't EASIER, it's just that whoever redid the zone did a GOOD job on it. The flavor text, the goblin rhymes, etc, all show a nice attention to detail. Once again, it isn't EASIER, now it's PLAYABLE. There's a difference.

Population is much better done. Too many mobs, packed in too tightly before, pathing was a problem, trains would ruin your whole day, and only a few parts of the dungeon was being used.

In short, the old Runnyeye was a mess, with only a few places you could hunt, and usually it was just a quick shopping trip to pick something up and leave.

Now, there are not as many mobs in a given area, there are fewer 'greens' if you are in the 20-30 level range, and the loot is pretty damn good.

And just plain exp'ing there is FUN. And the Sporali add a nice bit of variety to the zone as well.

In my opinion, and I've spent MANY MANY hours in the old Runnyeye, from back in Beta 4 and early release, it's a solid rework, much better than the original, and for those of you who haven't checked it out, I encourage you to do so.

/RANT ON
If you're just into getting exp and tacking new levels to your sig, stick in SK, Oasis, or LOIO, and work on your mad outdoor skillz.

If you want a good place to learn teamwork and dungeon handling in your late teens to late 20's, go to Runnyeye. Trust me, those skills will come in handy later in your career, and I think everyone who plays the high level game would appreciate more people learning to dungeon crawl instead of kiting.
/RANT OFF

As for the evil eyes, they also drop quest components for the Warrior Crafted armor.

As somebody else said, if you choose not to adventure in this zone, you can use it as a base. It's not hard to get good Pickclaw faction by killing mobs in Beholder, or Halflings. Then you can sell and bank there. Another very nice touch.

I do wish they'd put better merchants in, but at least they are there.
