Here is my personal theory: I belive that becuase of Bidl Frugrin not being
implemented yet, the quest was not finished. With this patch they might have
put Bidl in, as I have heard, and have made the other two gnomes actually
give the lenses when you talk to them. I have heard that Bidl will be
located as a random spawn in one of the Faydarks. I have also heard that to
get the other two lenses, you MUST kill the gnomes. In this new patch, they
might have fixed it, but has anyone ever tried comeing back in two weeks?
You know that the world of Norrath actually has time, right? Just type /time
to see what time it is in the game. So maybe if you came back in exactly two
weeks, they'd give it to you. I don't know, we will have to see what changes
have been made when the servers come back up.
