All guards in the game should assist Eye of Zomm and kill whoever smacks it

Re: Eye
It's been a long time since I was able to kill someone with my eye.

I used to stand on top of the pavilion thing in FP market and wander it around on the ground. Occasionally people would kill it and get whomped by the guards.


But its been months since that worked....

Gah, whatever you do, don't attack your own eye near the guards. I did this totally by accident, and lost level 42 because of it /sigh. (Chain casting the eye to increase conjuration, and accidentally pressed my temperal flux staff key while the eye was selected, the guards at the entrance to Felwithe had a field day with me!)

Yippee Eye of NoobDeath still works at the entrance guards of Neriak.

2 deaths, 1 death scared me, until i noticed he was only lev 4 but in better Gear than i have at level 50.

I was getting conjuration up by the GF PoD lift
as the familiar line will use it, when someone
attacked the Eye and got killed.
Now for the insane part - it was a 55th High Elf

Does/should this also apply to duels?

Does/should this also apply to duels?

It seems to be separate from duels, so it probably should. I know that unless both parties in a duel are exceedingly high faction, NPCs will assist whoever has the higher faction in a duel, yet the tidbid where guards will attack YOU when attacking an eye of zomm, which counts as your pet(?) makes me think that if it is PvP aggro that should be causing it, then it was bugged in some way, otherwise I guess the Eye of Zomm is on a faction that every NPC, or at least guard NPC, assists? Maybe it's a situation where if you punch your eyeball, you get on it's aggro table somehow, (maybe it doesn't fully count as your pet?) then guards assist the eyeball and attack you as if it were a separate entity from you?

Either way, if you punch an eyeball, the eyeball should call for help and aggro nearby NPCs onto you.

Probably the same thing as the charmburn tactic on PvP servers where a charmed pet attacking someone near guards would cause the guards to assist the pet. Fansy did a story (https://www.notacult.com/fansy3.htm) about it in the Luclin era.
