After reading many of the posts on the eye farming for the 0hat and players going like 1/52 with TH1 or even TH2 I was like oh well...it will drop eventually... no rush.
Well I got Earthen Eye to drop on mob 14 with no TH1 or TH2 or assistance. Went as /rdm to just out last them and minimize down time. Target the beginning 3 or 4 spawn points which allowed me not to get to deep and avoid lots of agro.
Burning eye went even better...much better. Made my way down there, killed the bat in the first tunnel before seeing the Thousand Eyes and got drop on 2nd kill. Again pretty easy to solo with /rdm if paralyze slow and blind lands and sticks for a while.
Went to try my luck in Ifrits Cauldron (sp) and took one down and was a little tougher fight. Got a Burst and Stonega III off...thankyou Stoneskin. These are not very easy to camp being so much agro in the area. Taking another person or two with you to help with agro or clear area is a plus. Didnt get a drop and got chased out by a scorp while not having sneak up.
I have 2 of the "lucky" items, 4Leaf bud and rabbit tail. Since I have had them..drop rate with or without TH1 has been pretty good. Now me getting Earthen and Burning eye in far less kills combined compared to what some state with having TH1 or TH2, again, could be just pure coinsedence(sp)
Good luck all
