Eye of Zomm (sp?)

[gojita69]

Seems a Eye of %T is not killable by players! In classic i always had fun pissing off my guildies by tossing shurikens at eyes that watch me pull!

confirmed

This was taken out on live at some point due to an exploit where you could generate platinum off of the eye. Also it was killable by NPCs and for some reason carried factions over, so it ended up also training everyone if you found a mob.

You could hand the eye weapons/money, for people to kill and get it. That was the exploit. You were still able to kill Eye of Zomm well in to PoP. Theres a fix in game (P99) for NPCs/Pets not to drop items/coin we give them. So no reason not to have us be able to kill them anymore. It does play a role in classic, and later. Killing a rivals guild eye of zomm who are looking for pulls/spying on your camp is just one of them.

The Eye of Zomm was also KoS to NPCS that were agro to the player. Faction was only involved,to Npcs being agro to the player. You could also invs yourself after summoning a Eye of Zomm, and the eye would take the effect of being invs, and only agro see invs npcs.

Eye of Zomm was made later to turn non agro to most npcs. The follow link shows that it had been nerfed, to non agro on or around 02-16-2002.

If you are going to post any information, don't nitpick and just post facts. Using the " I remember how it was", isn't how it works. Go back to the monk thread please Aadill.

Rais, just so you know, the exploit I'm referring to was the fact that in Qeynos Hills you could cast Eye of Zomm, kill it, and spontaneously generate platinum loot. It only worked in Qeynos Hills.

Oh, yeah, and I totally mentioned that faction would transfer. I thought it was stupid that it did but that's why it was eventually made non kos... it caused too many trains.

Please stop trying to turn bug reports into RnF threads~

The info you gave is actually correct, I'm just pointing out the possible exploit and one of the reasons it was removed as being attackable by PCs.

It was a pretty good way to pull for monks with the Holgresh Elder Beads.

Kinda wish it was still in game, but it's not like it is that big of a deal.
