The Eye of Kilrogg (the name Kilrogg coming from an old Orc commander of the Horde, who only had one eye) is much like the Eyes of the Beast for hunters.

It allows you to summon an eye and control it for a certain amount of time so that you can see over certain areas or where enemies are. Any damage done to the eye will break the effect and it will not aggro any mobs to you.

Just be careful when the eye is attacked. Sometimes you do not realize that you are being attacked until you see that you are back at your body again. Be sure to let go of the controls so you don't accidentally run into lava or the enemies themselves.

Comment by Sloshed

The eye can also be used in combination with tracking abilities such as 'Sense Demon' or the undead sensing potion. The mini-map will follow the eye as you move and will track things around the eye.

The eye is unable to interact with things such as opening doors or inspecting players.

Comment by Greytusks

The Eye of Kilrogg now has free fall and has an agro radius so reduced that you have to literally stand on the mob for 2 seconds before it aggros the eye. (WoW 2.0 change)

Comment by jinnlord

Lots of fun to be had with this spell if you're a Warlock, I always send it to Alliance bases before ganking noobs, specially with an Infernal as a demon. ( to make sure there are no level 70s). :)

By the way; this is probably the best spell/ability to use for taking screen shots of mobs and stuff. Better than the Ornate Spyglass in my opinion. :)

Comment by chaostitan

is this a quest spell. or is it just learnable by teacher if its a quest i dont know cause my lock is pretty lazy

Comment by GoObiE

The eye of Kilrogg moves just as fast as a felsteed but is very fragile, use it wisely.

Comment by steelpony

great spell to have... now i don't run into groups of mobs.

Comment by adashiel

One thing I've noticed is if a PvP-flagged mob detects your Eye and attacks it, you get flagged. I was a bit surprised the first time it happened, but given I was snooping where I shouldn't have been, it didn't bother me. At first I thought it was a fluke, since I've gotten flagged in the past simply by being attacked by a PvP mob (even without a damage shield or anything like that). But every time I've gotten close to a guard with my Eye and it smacks it down, I flag.

Comment by Seigata

Allthough it doesnt aggro mobs it DOES start events, so such as Onyxia, if you ran Eye of Kilrogg into her it will start the event and get the whole raid into aggro wtih her, so be careful of using this in raids.

Comment by Yukazi

Something that I just noticed is that the Eye of Kilrogg can actually attack!
One of my friends got ahold of me and told me that he summoned it and it was able to kill a rabbit. Yeah, I know, kill a rabbit, but that would mean that it has the ability to attack!
So I got on my character and gave it a try outside of Stormwind.

Eye of Kilrogg hits Defias Bandit for 106.
Eye of Kilrogg hits Rat for 146.

It's not that great of damage and it is slow, but I had no idea that it could actually do anything other than spy.

Comment by Tyrsenus

Useful for finding Netherwing Eggs within Netherwing Mine without having to clear mobs.

Comment by samarium

Handy tip:

Casing Eye of Kilrogg will replace your current pet, causing it to temporarily despawn. How is this useful? When you cancel the effect your pet appears on top of you. This is very helpful in certain instances where you have to jump off of something and don't want your pet to path around and aggro everything nearby - set it on stay, go where you need to be, summon an Eye, and then cancel it. Your pet will teleport to you.

Comment by Sandos

Looks like Sauron ate something bad!

Comment by Daab

Can NOT be used for explore quests (like the stone of Tides - http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=578)

Comment by Anubi

When you take a boat/zeppelin to travel between continents, once you zone you will lose your pet, and without soul shard refunded. (Shards are refunded when you use flightmaster's taxi)

It's a bug, yes, and while blizzard move theyr slow butt to fix it, here's a solution.

When the ship/zepp start moving, cast Eye of Kilrogg.
When the Eye is out, your pet will despawn, and will return to your side once you stop casting.
Keep chanelling the Eye until you zone to the other continet, and your pet will be back at your side.

Comment by AudreyChandler

If you see this eye while you are transporting a magical ring to a volcano, I strongly recommend you find a hiding place ASAP.

Comment by Daezonix

It's NOT named after the servers Kilrogg (EU) nor Kilrogg (US) although many players like to think so.

Comment by killmurlocs

it's a flying eye so cn u make it go so high up that u nothing cn attack it.also cn u use it to discover high lvl areas without dieing

Comment by Groundlord

Very useful for exploring unfamiliar areas, taking a quick peek to see if a Rare is present, or finding a path to a quest giver/ender. It won't aggro a mob unless you activate the auto-attack with the Eye, even if it's normally a Hostile mob.

Just be careful about where you cast the spell. When you're using the Eye, you can't see or hear around yourself (only what is around the Eye), so you don't know whether or not you're getting attacked until you notice that the cast time on the channeling is getting shorter faster than usual.

Comment by Radek666

It reminds me Warcraft 2 :)

Comment by john0160

i find this really usefull when trying to take down an elite mob as i can soften it up a little bit like about a quarter health as long as im in range to aggro it right away so it dont regen

Comment by zaragoza68

KIlrogg was part of the Bleeding hallow clan,(Fel orcs) not so sure if they are part of the horde being they are Fel orcs and all
also in asociation with the bleeding hallow clan is Gul'dan>which the horde never would be asociated with.

Comment by Trace284

If you have the glyph of kilrogg, can it fly in northrend without you having cold weather flying?

Comment by Raithesage

If the Eye is used to aggro a BOSS NPC in a instance/raid, IT WILL CHAIN AGGRO BACK TO YOU.

Messing around in a fresh OS raid, I used the eye to engage Sartharion, and after it died, the entire instance including Sartharion, trash mobs, and the 3 drakes came rushing to the entrance to kill me. It was quite funny.

However some bosses have a leash, such as Instructor Razuvious, I used the eye while at the entrance of Naxx to engage him, however he ran back after attempting to reach me. Be warned though, if you are on the floor where he resides he will come after you.

ALSO: The Eye counts as your pet, once summoned you will lose your minion and become defenseless. You're pet will return once the spell has forgone it's duration or once its canceled.

Comment by warlockstan618

they EoK was a huge help with finding the moldy tome in the series of quest to get the felhunter. for anyone who's doing this quest, or planning on doing so at some point in time. thnaks to some info about the locaiton of the camps i was able to scout the camp from the top of the cliff. i started with the camp close to shouthshore, i was still at lvl 30 at the time. at 1st i ws going to take a shortcut through southshore, but then i saw an ally npc that had a ? lvl,and i thought to myself FUDGE! well let's jsut say that's not the f word i actually used, lol. anyhow, i decided to walk through the forest just west of southshore. all i had to do was kill a few bears,and spiders along the way. even when i got close enough to the edge of the cliff, starting on the west side of it. i only had to look around from tiem to time to see if any beast were too lcose for me to use the EoK. other than killing afew annoying bears and spiders, i had no problem with scouting the camps from the top of the cliff. i searched 4 camps before i founf the tome in the 5th one. then it's fairly easy to get it. i took out two murlocs that's by themselves. but when i sent in my VW to get the third one. the ohter two got aggroed. i was thinking time for plan b. so while my VW was keeping the three murlocs busy, i went down to get the tome. then i hearthed back to the UC and blah blah blah, i got my felhunter. no only one minon left...the felguard. two if you cound the doomguard, but you get the idea.

Comment by CerberusNL

Whilst questing, i find this spell useful for pulling quest targets out of camps, because the eye has an point-blank-range aggro range, you can pull the mob you want, maybe with one or 2 adds, DoT the target, which makes the Eye disappear (as you're cancelling the channeled effect) and your previously summoned pet will appear again, to assist you.
Don't forget to summon a pet if you don't have one out yet, before summoning the eye.

Comment by Psyblade1st

Warlock: Eye of Kilrogg, attack!

(Eye of Kilrogg hits Rabbit for 114)

Warlock: Laser eyes pew pew!

Comment by killmurlocs

It moves as if it has slowfall on it all the time but because of the time constraint u can't jump off teldrassil with it

Comment by cawfee

This is the Eye of Getting Your Pet Unstuck.
Summon and release it in a guaranteed-to-remain-stuck situation like the leap from the pipe leading to Gluth, and your pet will appear next to you again. Faster than resummoning the pet itself.

Comment by Piril

Don't let the name fool you, it can't kill a rogue.

Comment by noobtard

There is a giant eyeball!
and it is looking at us!

Comment by Healerdude

Using this eye is very useful for tricky line of sight pulls. For instance, on the Bloodsail Buccaneer's ships in southern STV, i stood at the top of the stairs, summoned Eye of Kilrogg, went down the stairs around the corner, into the guy's room, attacked him to get aggro, ran it back to the staircase, then killed him. The best part: I didn't get a single add!

Comment by RGsweden

Am I the only one who hate the fact that it only exists for 45 seconds. Meaning that the "unlimited" range can't be used to it's fullest and I would like to be able to scout with it for more then 45 seconds

Comment by Gwenelly

Don't underestimate this little eye, while many Warlocks tend ignore this spell, it can be quite useful in both combat and non-combat situations.

You can use this little guy to find quest item locations, especially when you're without a flying mount. With Glyph of Kilrogg it's given the power to fly in Outland and Northrend, but take note that it also allows it to fly in closed areas, such as caves and Dalaran City!

I found it quite useful for my Higher Learning achievement, just pick one location to camp and use your eye to track all the other locations while not even moving a inch, it shortens the running and makes this achievement less annoying.

Comment by Vegito91

Are enemy players able to see the eye? Does the eye become visible to enemy players only from a certain distance?

Comment by Selgnij

If you find yourself missing a rogue in ICC, you can use this spell to take care of the traps in the first section. The MoBs that spawn are not very deadly if you don't spawn them at the same time as a pull or on top of the raid.

Just send in EoK before making a pull, if there are any traps they should trigger, killing the eye quickly, but the MoB should be far enough away not to aggro. Let him walk a little ways then kill it at your leisure. Worked last time my guiild was in ICC rogueless.

Comment by Xycolian

The eye of Killrog can trip traps in Icecrown Citadel! very nice if a trap is hiding in the middle of a trash group :)

Comment by Banmbrat

Just out of curiosity, can this spell start the Kel'Thuzad fight?

Comment by triton456

How can this spell be used in pvp:

1. Trigger hunter traps like frost trap. (Best use of it in pvp imo ^_^ )
2. If your carrying the flag in wsg and are on the top of your own base waiting for your teammates to return your flag, u could use the eye of kilrogg to see if there are any enemies around u. (Or see how your teammates are doing, dunno if u could make it to the other base in 45 sec. ^-^ )
3. See your opponents in any BG from a save distant.

(The following u could just ignore.. xD)
~~4. See your opponents in Arena before battle starts.~~ (Fixed long time ago, Eye of Kilrogg can't be used in arena anymore.)
5. Well, it distracts (not only your enemies and allies, but also yourself ;P)
6. It's just fun xD

greetz,
Triton456

Comment by Superchief

I think this spell would get more use if it was some sort of controllable damaging spell. Like a controllable green fire ball that hits fairly hard, and detects stealth. So it's main purpose is knocking players out of stealth, sniping/scouting players from a distance, or preventing flag caps.

Of course it could be shot down if someone thinks you're going to prevent a flag cap, and you are vulnerable while your "eye" is away. Just an idea to make this spell interesting again. Instead of deleting it to clean up unused spells, which I hope they don't.

Comment by SoggyPuddle

The eye is immune to lava damage... enjoy :P

Comment by bartc0re

is this spell available in wotlk?

Comment by peacelock

If you glyph this spell in MoP, you will be able to use it to set a demonic circle, which will be very useful, for example you can use it in WG to set a demonic circle in top of the flag, pop dark bargain, (or any survival spells you may have) and run the hell away from there

Comment by ArtisticSixx

Don't be fooled by the tooltip of the Eye of Kilrogg.

It says "Controlling Eye of Kilrogg, Detecting Invisibility" when you hover over the buff. I can confirm on 11/14/13 at 8:17 P.M, that it DOES NOT detect stealthed rogues/druids/mages, any class that can stealth, it won't detect it, the Eye itself is invisible though.

I did my tests on a 24 rogue, same level as I.

Comment by Adunai

The eye of kilrogg is based on the fact the warlord kilroggs chieftain bloodline would cut out there own eye to see into the future of there deaths. They Embrased death and would then start war apon the terroka who tried to invade them soon after he killed his father. source - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRlokbOelfg&list=PLY0KbDiiFYeP8hkPrVS3y0Ua45EJlWRBw&index=4
