What "items" do you need to get in Runnyeye?
A lone bard at 30 will have a tough time in Runneye. The dungeon has agro
tied closely to levels and at 30 you will still get too much attention. If
it's always empty, you will have a tough time breaking any of the popular
spawn spots because there will be 3-4 gobs that will agro when you attack
the first one. The dungeon boss, Lord Borxx (sp?) - a named evil eye - will
own you if he finds you. Lev 40+ druids stop by from time to time to hand
him some paybacks. Invis works for about 90% of the gobs but you will get
some that see thru it and they will agro you if you are merely exploring.
I got killed there a few times from 8 to 20 just passing thru and avoided
ever exploring it. I kept telling my self this is a place for foolish high
20 and brave lo to mid 30's. Then one day I noticed I was 38 and doh! Time
to check out Runnyeye. Thru my 40's I would cruise through and grab various
things but I missed the dungeon when I was the level it would give exp to.
Except one time, I got in a group that knew what to do: invis and go to the
warlord room. Camp there and keep the door shut. Spread the spawn and fite
once every 18 minutes or so. The place looks like it would be good for 2 or
3 mid 20 to lo 30 groups to work if they worked together. But at that age,
we were still learning how to be a good single group - let alone coordinate
with 2 others.
One time I was passing thru and helped by dragging a couple corpses out.
Then some one trained the banker to the zone and was getting beaten. So, I
attacked the banker to taunt him off and while we were fighting, I did a
mouse over and the bank windows opened up - heh. So, I changed my small
coins while he hit me for 2 and 3 and then killed him - was funny.
Runnyeye is one of the best dungeons in terms of the detail and art. Very
interesting things in there - your imagination can go wild. It also has
some really fun tunnels and mazes. It's really pretty sad that it is so
under utilized. I need to come back with a party of mid-20 char's and see
how it works. I'd like to see how a party fares with a bard playing
ele&guardians or purifiyn&guardians - then camp the evil eye room behind the
baracade: evil eye, & 2 dazed goblin guards for a total of 3 casters.
