I paid 35k for beads day before they stopped dropping on blue.

For us non-uber folk. What the heck are those beads good for? Eye of Zomm that floats around? I don't see the awesomeness of that spell?!?!

The Eye of Zomm was (presumably) created to scout areas ahead of the caster. However, because EverQuest was made by a team of disorganized cokeheads (presumably) the person who created the spell, and the person who implemented were (presumably) not on the same page, and the code didn't allow for it to work properly, so the magical eye aggrod everything the player would normally aggro, thus rendering the spell completely useless. At some point, between shoveling out expansions at a frantic pace, somebody noticed this, and by Luclin or so it was fixed so the eye worked as (presumeably) intended and didn't aggro anything, making the spell actually useful to the classes that could cast it.

In the meantime, a side effect of the broken and useless spell, is that classes that can FD, can remotely use the eye to aggro mobs and move them, such as around a corner out of line of sight of their friends, to single pull them, or pull them burning harm touches and generally out of range of harmful spells, etc, making the elder beads eminently useful for FD pullers such as monks.

Doesn't work on TAKP, btw, as Eye of Zomm is already "fixed" in that timeline. That would be why no one there cares about Beads.

Well, while my beastlord has a primal fist, he has no Holgresh Elder Beads, so I can't really speak to that. I don't see why not, though! The Eye mob is still a lil NPC you can attack.

If you pull a group of lvl35+ mobs as a monk and flop, the mobs remember you. So you have to wait until a bunch of them reset before you can stand up, or have a partner to tag pull off you.

The eye lets you do that easier and solo.

Hammering off it is #1 use case IMO unless you're a raiding monk.

Hammering off the eye is great if you have 15 minutes to make it work
