Runnyeye
Steve Mitchell
I'm currently trying to get the "piece of high quality ore" that
supposedly drops (rarely) in Runnyeye. I'm a 17th level Halfling Druid,
working on making the Halfling Cultural Sewing Kit. I have zoned into
Runnyeye a few times hoping to buy some off people in the dungeon, only to
find it empty, or almost empty. Is Runnyeye a really bad place to adventure?
What level group would I have to put together to hunt there? Any strategies
from you veterans?
Also: has anyone made the Vale Sewing Kit? Are there any other places
that "Piece of HQ Ore" drops? (I've found Bricks and Blocks in High Hold,
but not Pieces) Can you make Pieces from Bricks or blocks???
Thanks in advance,
Steve

The main problem I have heard about is the pathing and bad aggro. It's
very common to pull large trains there. Also, Borxx a level 35 or so
evil eye roams around in there. That's not something most level 20
pullers can survive if they run into her.

I'm pretty sure I got a pice once in Permafrost. But Permafrost isn't
much better than Runneyeye. Hmm. Both of those are goblin zones.
Coincidence? Verant doesn't do goblin zones very well apparently. Droga
isn't much better at the level it's intended for.

Can't remember for certain but i think i got some pieces as
rare drops off of mudmen in the gorge.

Runnyeye is one of those "bring your own group" zones along with Najena,
Befallen, Solusek's Eye (SolA) and a number of zones in Kunark.
It's my understanding that HQ ore can drop from any gobs but plain ol'
goblins in RE. I've lately been working towards getting some ore for a
halfling friend of mine to make me some of these great containers (lighter
than backpacks, 10 slot, Combine WILL NOT make you lose your stuff...at
least, not til they "fix" it).
Since my druid is 47 and EVERYTHING in RE is green to me and I have very
little experience in RE I really can't help you much more.
What little hunting I did there was around level 20 where most of the
non-Ore gobs were green and Elites were blue or better but I can't really
remember what level I was at the time, sorry.
I'd also suggest that you make it a practice of visiting various vendors
throughout Norrath to see if any has been sold to them by players.

Hi Steve,
My experience is limited to one time there, when our guild had a "mini
guild raid on Runnyeye". We had a full group of 18-21, and a partial
group of mid 20's and a thirty. We sustained two TPWs there before
giving up and going to hunt in the Gorge for a while. The pathing is
awful, and the corridor's generate spontaneous trains that made it
nearly impossible for us to even fight our way down to our chosen "Safe
Room". (HA! THAT was a joke of a phrase.)
Rough dungeon. Tread carefully and bring friends. Plan well. Have
maps. Pray a lot. :-)

Very weird, that's only the 2nd time I've seen the abbreviation "TPW" in the
last 2 years and the first time was just a few days ago.
At least it isn't "toon" or "woot." It's not annoying. :)

Related question: The Thicket will soon be trivial for Rosewhite. I would like to
take to either Freeport or Qeynos and get her moved towards 14th on the way.
Problem is, http://www.eqatlas.com indicates that the zones are pretty rough.
Could a 12th level halfing make the run to Freeport in fair safety (staying
camoflaged) or should she stick in the Thicket whacking on scarabs until she gets
14th (with SoW, Levitate and Bind Affinity)? If I wait to 14th, she will probably
go to Qeynos instead; I assume the road through High Hold to East Karana is easier
than going through Runnyeye and the Maze to EK?

level. I ran my Halfling Cleric there at about Lvl 5 or 6, so I know you
can. No cammo, no SOW, just good ol' fashion smarts. Don't run through
Kithicor at night (8pm-8am), and stay on the path through the commons.
Keep your eyes open for Giants and Griffins, as well as a couple nasty
NPC's, and you should be fine. You have Cammo, so you should be in even
better shape. If you know a higher level druid, see if you can get
SOW'd, or ask someone at the Druid Rings in WC, just try to be a good RP
type of person and you shouldn't have much problem, since you'd be a
fellow druid. Once you get to West FP, just RP ask for a bind, make sure
to say please, and you shouldn't have a problem there either. Then you
can go out to the commons, or the Desert of Ro, and you'll have TONS to
get you through level 14 and beyond. If you go into Ro, try to get into
a Derv group. Or you can go to Oasis and hunt orcs or crocs, but I'd
recommend North Ro first as Oasis gets a little crowded and it's not
uncommon to get killed by another group's pull. Anyways, that's just my
take on it. Use the info for what it's worth.

Neither easier, shorter, nor safer. Highhold is tricky at best, Maze is
trivial to traverse, and the Highpass ramp in EK is no longer completely
safe. IF you have camo, its beyond trivial. Upon entry to the gorge,
camo, wait 15 seconds to ensure solid camo. Go straight, keeping to the
wall on your right. without camo, simply climb the wall and don't stop
running. upon entering EK, bear rightish, following the path to the
wood bridge. although, with camo, highpass might be passable as well.
Gorge/runneyeye is makeable at level one day one of a new(non-split
server) I challenge you to do that through Highpass.

hunting in WC, and I saw him ACROSS THE LAKE. I just clicked on him and
I realized who he was, so I decided to stay away. Well, no sooner had I
done that did I see him start to run to the left. I figured someone had
attacked him and didn't think too much of it after that. Literally about
a minute later (long enough for the bastard to run ALL THE WAY around
the lake, and make up the distance I'd put between us) he killed me.
Three hits, and I was toast. So, just beware. Apparently he's got a
pretty damn huge aggro range.

I ran my bard through Kithicor at night with Selo's running. I learned a
major lesson that
night about Kithicor.
NEVER enter Kithicor at night!
50 ft into Kithicor I saw a Zombie Trooper in which I turned and ran. The
trooper then
blasted me with a harm touch several feet away (It seemed a bit far for a
harm touch)
for probably like 200-500 points of damage? (I'm not sure)
Regardless he said, "Join me in eternal death!" <ZAP>
And I did.

It is bad because its easy to start a train. Also the loot is not that great
as compared to other places of that level to hunt.

Runnyeye is the only place to get the small pieces.
They drop from the dazed goblins and up. Levels 17-22 or so.
You would need a full well organized party to hunt them at
your level. The drop is pretty rare only about 1 in 15 will have ore.
I do not think you can make the pieces from the larger bricks
but it may be possible.

Sorry.... I was under the impression that TPW was fairly standard terminology
for "Total Party Wipeout". Was that wrong? Lot's of folks on my server seem to
use it, and it made sense.

*shrug* it might be, I'd just never heard it before. But I learn new things

You may have to ask friends or guildmates to help.

able to purchase some of the ore (A piece of High Quality Ore) from 2 high
level players (40's I think) who were soloing in Runnyeye. I got 8 pieces
total, enough to make 4 tries at the sewing kit. I failed the first one
(smithing level 103) and have decided to wait until my smithing is up a bit
before trying again. I guess the kit is trivial at around 150.

Oasis? Screw hunting in Grand Spectral Station if you're a druid - dervs
in N Ro and West Commons will take you to your early teens, then at 13
or 14 or so you should camo your way through Nektulos to avoid the dark
elf guards and hunt in Lavastorm - a druid owns this area since it is
full of summoned mobs like fire elementals and fire sprites, which you
can hit with your ward summoned and expulse summoned DD nukes. These are
far more mana efficient than your regular fire based nukes, you just
don't often find anything that is subsceptible to them. Take advantage
of this zone full of summoned mobs while you can. Fight the non summoned
mobs by porcupining and using DoTs/debuffs and melee, since everything
here will resist your fire based spells - drakes are really weak for
their level and rock dervishes are doable. There is a gypsy camp you can
sell to here, so theres really no reason to leave until everything
greens out.
When you're sick of all that, you'll be about ready for Highpass, East
Karana or some bits of Kunark.

Vale kit is trivial between 155 and 160. Be glad you don't have to use
morning dew for your smithing temper :)

*sniffle* I'll need a ton of Morning Dew AND Oak Bark... but at least
it seems I'll be able to get someone to smith mithril studs/boning for
me when the time comes. I should probably work on my brewing tonight.

can drink the result. I'll have to brew up a batch of Bog juice this weekend
and go fish with all my foraged fishing grubs. It's as close to real fishing
as I'll get till the ice goes off the lakes. :)

Bog juice? If you forage, you might as well start out making fruit and
berry juice instead. You won't need to buy bottles, and I found it was
a nice way to expand my water supply back then when I was fighting in
a desert :)
My guild is planning a St. Patrick's day event, another reason to get
cracking on making more ale... but once I am done with that; wines and
heady kiola. I'll get to use foraged stuff again (wine), and no more
damned casks for a while! :)
