Description
A brass tube the length of your underarm. It has a small hole in one end covered by glass, and a similar but larger one on the other end.
A spyglass allows you to zoom in your view, increase your hover highlight distance, and providing you with a range measurement. It's useful for scouting the land, finding players or hunting targets, and measuring exact tile distances for archery. The maximum view range is 2000 metres (500 tiles).
Spyglasses are given to premium players for 12+ total premium months.
Usage
Activate the spyglass and right-click on a tile or item like the spyglass itself, and select Spy. A 30 second timer will begin while you scout the land, hitting Esc (Stop command) or moving while on foot will cancel the action.
History
The spyglass is a special item which was originally given out at Christmas 2006 to premium players at Newtown, and both the white and black light altars on the Wild (now Chaos) server. They were lost due to the Wurmageddon in April 2007, but were given back after the reset as trinkets regardless of whether you had one or not.
