EQ2 community zone reviews: Runnyeye
The EQ2 Players site hosts a player-written review of one of EverQuest II's zones every week, and this week the focus is the goblin dungeon Runnyeye. Player Xalmat of the Permafrost server shares his knowledge of the zone, including the basics like how to get there and what level you should be to visit, to a detailed and lengthy rundown of strategies to use when moving through the zone, and even a handy list of some named mobs to look out for.
Levels 33 to 41 are recommended by the guide to try out the zone, and I can personally vouch that Runnyeye was one of my favorite dungeons when in this level range. The review points out some of the named mobs that you can find, including a great camp for lower level groups, the Muddite Pool, which is home to two possible nameds. This being near the start of the zone, I've found it a good place for an underpowered or not-yet fully formed group to hang around -- relatively safe, and still with the chance of some nice loot. Of course, in typical Runnyeye style, you'll be tempted to move on just that little bit further when your scout notices some more nameds in the adjoining rooms...
Runnyeye also has two instanced zones if your group is up to the challenge, and tons more nameds than the ones mentioned above. To find out more, check out the ultra-detailed zone strategy section in the Runnyeye review. If you've never been to the goblin hideout, make it a point to visit during your Frostfell -- err, Christmas holiday.
