Main / Items / Gifts / Spyglass

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).

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.

Notes

• Can not be dropped.
• Spyglasses are made out of brass, but they cannot be created or improved by players.
• The 30 second action will not be canceled when embarked on a vehicle or animal, you have to use

Esc (Stop command).
