Well this isn't necessarily true. What you meant to say was you can FD while the eye is up. You can't cast any spells while FD.
Err...yes. This.

Do people not understand that stalking probes can give you eye of zomm for < 1 p per charge and are instant cast? And that the Elder Beads will continue to drop for 6 months EQ time which might be 12+ on P1999?

Stalking Probe also instant cast. Holgresh Elder beads are 4 seconds. In a FTE situation, instant is better. However, you do get to save inventory slots though I guess and never have to recharge.

Honestly, I'm more surprised people are not stock piling the Ornate Velium Pendants that get nerfed because those benefit almost every class for faction in Velious.

Ornate Velium Pendant is a novelty more than anything, let's be honest.

When you're turning in a quest that requires a certain faction level, I can see *some* value to it. However it doesn't tell you if you've maxed faction, because Ally and Max Ally display the same unless you see the "cannot get better" faction hits. For those quests the Velium Pendant is worthless.... Which are all the high value ones.

It's only like 100 faction - Maybe enough to non-KoS you if you haven't screwed with Chelaki faction or something? But I am not seeing much purpose to it. Unless there are more areas you can non-KoS yourself with only 100 faction points. If you could charm and then use it to go from amiable -> Kindly that would have some value I guess?

Regarding the Stalking Probes - On Al'Kabor (2002 code) the probes cost more like 30 plat to recharge, so I'm skeptical our recharge cost is correct. Also Probes occupy many slots, my Necro carries 8... I could probably survive on 3-4, but still multiple slots when Beads could be 1. Instant cast vs 4 isn't a huge deal for eye of zomm tricks.

You should see some of the FTE fraps in VP where people are racing to FTE with eye of zomm through locked doors in VP.

Going from threat to apprehensive in Siren's and walking past mobs makes it worth it for me. It can be really handy if your faction is fairly fresh

Then what's it for?

There are some factions you start at threateningly and you can move to dubious. Most all of these factions are irreversible and to gain the benefit of the item you must never hunt in the zone.
