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

  • 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).
