These are used for transferring your allegiance from Aldor to Scryers. A repeatable reputation quest - https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=10025 - will take you up to Neutral with the Scryers at 250 rep per 8 Eyes, destroying your Aldor rep in the process.

Do not count on the AH to provide enough eyes for you to switch factions - few people save these, fewer farm them to sell and make money. You're probably going to have to grind out the drops yourself.

You're going to need 1344 of these to get Neutral with Scryers.

36000 (Hated) + 3000 (Hostile) + 3000 (Unfriendly) / 250 rep (per turn in) = 168 turn ins of 8 eyes each time. Prepare for some serious grinding and ask friends/guildmates for help.

Before the switch, I recommend saving up these eyes and higher level scryer turn in items (Firewing and Sunfury Signets, Arcane Tomes) so you can still use the benefits of Aldor shoulder enchants in case you replace gear.

Those 1344 at the 34% drop rate are 3953 monsters to loot.

(My personal rate is 25 eyes per hour, that makes it 54 hours. Hum... I should have started as a Scryer.)

Is there a comparable quest for going from Scryer to Aldor?

Comment by Hegga

I grinded theese for 3 hours today as a fury warrior and I had to use 2 bandages in total. Bloodthirst get my HP up all the time.

I got 163 in that time.

Since no one has said it you can also get the meat off the Basilisks which is used to make one of the 23 spell damage 20 spirit foods which is really nice if your a caster and have to farm these.

says it gives sha'tar rep as well.. any way of doing these for the rep without losing scryer faction if i want to keep it?

Comment by MethodGamer

I farmed these to switch Aldor to Scryer, and my farm rate was about 40 per hour. There's a nice little circuit you can do where the basilisks are all respawned at every lap. Start at 38.6, 16.4 in Terrokar (on the south shore of the lake), then make your way north north-west along the western shore of the lake. When you get to the top, head west to the road, and work your way down.

North of allerian Stronghold there are loads

Comment by Camora

does the Human Diplomacy trait help at all?

Comment by Elminstar

yes it does adds 10% to the gain as well as loss of rep currently trying to farm these on malygos as a mage wish blizzard had made it a "go kill X amount of Y" quest but i guess it works out since not many people are willing to do the grind to go from one to the other at higher levels of rep

Comment by Anthara

Do you get to keep Aldor Exalted patterns (such as Golden Spellthread) after converting to Scryers? In other words, could I eventually have a tailor who can make both Golden and Runic Spellthreads by swinging factions?

Update: Can confirm that patterns learned as an Aldor remain when switching to Scryers. Shoulder enchants of the former faction can no longer be purchased nor applied.

Make a macro using the question mark icon with the following text and put it on your bars.

Makes keeping track of how many you have pretty easy ^_^

Comment by Zepticon

How long would i spend on grinding those for swaping faction?
x hours a day for x days type of numers:)

Comment by 267546

I would say around 20/30 hours total.
I usually do it when I'm grouped in raid going to Naxx and such. As you can't do dailys etc In 20 minutes or so you can get around 2 or 3 dozens.

Don't forget to buy the tabard and recipes before switching, if you like to collect them.

Comment by Grenmoor

trying to change from Aldor to Scryer with my main, so i'm taking my DK along the rivers to collect them. 104 in maybe 2 hours? Too bad the Chompers don't drop them (as far as i've seen).

Comment by 39891

I've been farming these myself now and I've managed to get up to 100-110/hour (yes, I timed it :| ).

Now, I'm doing this as a feral druid in 4 parts pvp set, that means 149.5% run speed, feral charge every 15 seconds and an instant cast flight form. Fast run speed > min-maxing dps, they die in a second anyway.

Basically, you follow the spawn points of Dampscale Devourer.
Start at the latitude of Stonebreaker Hold (53.42), follow the river south to Allerian Stronghold. Stick to the river until you reach the T intersection (63.45). Go east until you reach Firewing Point, then fly back to the intersection and start moving north. Reach the next T intersection east of Tuurem and follow the river east. Done! Fly back to the starting point and do it all over again, everything is respawned.

I tried the path around the northern lake and the respawns were so slow I wouldn't for my life farm there.

At least for me it only took ~14 hours of farming! (It isn't as bad as 40-50 hours of farming as some of the 2.0 comments here say it is)

Comment by 343515

Well it took me less than 200 individual eyes to get back to neutral, but now I can't do the quest anymore. Is that typical?

Comment by 385697

You can farm these on an alt with 62-66 level, that has a lot of rested bonus and heirloom shoulders. Along with eyes, you will gain experience points pretty quickly. Of course you won't level up as fast as while questing, but it's still a win-win. AoE classes and affliction warlocks work the best here imo.

If your alt have skinning, you can make a little profit too. Oh, and you can use the meat to make a nice buff food for your alt (if (s)he's a caster) or friends.

I used THIS route when I was farming them. Got around 30 and up per "run" which gave 3-4 turn-ins. Started at 32.5,13.9 if you look at the map.

Note: Don't bother killing the Ironspine Chomper's since they don't drop the item, I made that mistake.

Comment by 393077

Wow. This grind took much longer than I had expected. After a bit less than two hours(I think - had to test some different routes and such first) I only had 144 eyes. After I had those 144 eyes I decided that I would only farm "a few" eyes at a time; 100 or 200 eyes, and then do something else - so this took maybe two weeks for me.

I used my level 78 hunter BM specced with mining and skinning, so both of those adds some extra time. I used Aspect of the Cheetah when the mobs were close to each other and I only had 150% speed mount.

This is the route I used.

I simply followed the river. Instead of taking both sides of the river at the same time, I only took the mobs on one side, and then the other side on the way back. On some places the mobs are so many it's better to just gather them and aoe them down. Some places along the river there are like only one or no mobs, and these places I just skipped - you should be able to see them on the map.(##RESPBREAK##)2056##DELIM##adashiel##DELIM##

Those are used for reputation with the Scryers.

Comment by Allakhazam

Yes, I was wrong. Ignore this post

Well.. Its for both rep,, just depends which side are you.

So for someone who is a Scryer already - do these actually have any use besides auction house fodder?
