Free Everquest 2 Guide: Grouping Locations Levels 30-35

Zone - Runnyeye

Starting at level 30, and possibly earlier, you will wish to head over to Runnyeye in the Enchanted Lands. This zone is fairly dangerous, not only once inside but also the journey there with a lot of aggro mobs, but fortunately these are no longer heroic so its a lot less perilous than it once was. Once you get inside, enjoy the only safe spot in the entire zone, and hope that nobody trains it. I saw it happen a few times where the mobs didnt path back to their points but continued to slaughter everyone present.

Once you get moving, just kill everything on your path while going upstairs, making sure to get the quests from the Janitor (if you speak goblin) and Snorgle on your way. Up top, you will see a bridge with water underneath, take note of this because itfs the fastest way back to the zone if you get in trouble. Just jump off, hopefully into the water and run for the zone. Anyway, keep on killing and make sure your group is careful with AEfs, as there are lizard type things on the ground called Scrap Dashers that are a lot harder to kill than their con suggests, and are hard to see, so you donft want to accidentally aggro them (they arenft aggressive so someone has to attack em).

After this there is a few wandering golems, with a side room with a bunch of minotaurs and a couple of quests including an access quest to The Overlordfs Throne Room, a small instance off of Runnyeye. If you keep on going ahead however, you will come across a room with a bunch of golems with a couple of mini-named in there as well. I recommend not going past this room till you are about level 32-33, as in the room outside the monsters get a lot harder, especially when you take the ramp down. If you can manage it though, head down the ramp and take a right into a room with a large number of goblins, and examine the cauldron in there, you will get a quest to kill 200 goblins that will give you a breastplate wearable at level 32, and is well worth the effort I think.

After this, just keep on wandering around the zone killing everything you can, quite a few quest books drop in here and there are also some more quests laying around, such as the one from a dead evil eye to kill 100 evil eyes to get some legs to match the breastplate you got. The bankerfs quests are also pretty good for the gold reward.

Some good mobs to farm in here are the Shift bossfs in the miner room. These have a chance to drop a master containing the Robe of the Beguiler, a robe which is still white to a level 50 and has very good stats for a scout, and the Runnyeye Chef, who drops a pretty good neck item every time hefs killed. Finally, there is one trap in this zone you must be aware of, that that is in the room at [155,-186]. When you have half cleared the room, another group of goblins will spawn and come right for the group, even if you have pulled up the corridor.
