Why would someone want to use the eyeballery skill?

Welp. Thats the question.

  • To watch splank fights. Obviously.

  • I used to to quickly look for sparkly. I usually do it while mining so I can quickly go to the next rock. I just started doing that because I actually forgot I had the skill for a while.

  • It is good when you are ghost hunting!

  • It's helpful in mining when you're mining one rock and want to check the room for other rocks.

    I've heard people use it to try and find ghosts, too.

  • To freak out glitches standing near you and trying to be sociable.

  • For the longest time I didn't connect the googly eyes sign with this skill and was a bit freaked out by nearby Glitchans doing that =P

  • What they said and to check for coins in those hard to reach places without expending the effort of going there.

  • I use it all the time in the ancestral lands on a dead end street.  I'll eyeball partway down, and usually all the toe traps are tripped and the quions are taken, so I leave.  It's faster than hairballing there and back.

    I also frequently use it mining (all the time really)

  • checking if the traps in the ancestral lands are up again yet.

  • I thought it was a useless skill until I got it (it was quick!) and now I use Eyeballery all the time. What everyone said above, and I use it all the time to find shrines and resources on multi-level streets.

  • Overall, the usefulness depends on your play style, and I can't say it is worth getting early on, but it can be a time saver.

    You can use it while auto-running, so I use it in the ancestral lands to see if I should bother ducking into any holes.  I also sometimes use it to check key spawns if I know there are some in the area.  It doesn't do much good in most mining areas where there is plenty to go around, but in Neva Neva or AB, it's faster/easier than jumping around in circles.

  • I am quite bad at navigating the streets with multiple levels that require jumping.  Eyeballery is very useful to me to spot mining rocks, firefly swarms, jellisac, and other items that may be in hard to reach spots.  It lets me know whether it is worth my time, frustration, spinach and levitation to try and get there or not, and helps me try to find easier routes.

  • I do wish there were higher level Eyeballery skills so the scanning in camera mode would speed up.
