Leads to 'Grillok "Darkeye"' (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10834).

To complete the quest i found that if you enter the Zethgor barracks and kill the mini boss 2 eye's should spawn, the big one and a little one in the hall behind him. You want to select the small eye and use the crystal on it. For some reason sometimes it does not work but keep trying. You can also find some of the eyes outside. Once you have the buff and are glowing green just run back to spinebreaker post and stand in front of the little pot with the eye above it.

There is an 'Eye of Grillok' wandering the Zethgor area. Coords: 67.74.

How to do it? Once you have located the Eye, target it, and use the quest device to capture it. Several people are complaining about an Eye in the barracks that can not be absorbeb. So, I would suggest to use it only on the wandering Eye.

Now, go to Spinebreaker Post (Horde) (you can use your mount if you want) and stand beside the NPC and his cauldron (Zezzak). You have 5 minutes. Once you are at the cauldron, target yourself and use the device (Zezzak's Shard) again.

Quest finished ^^

NOTE: This quest is a pain if you are in a crowded server. I would suggest to do it when there are few people around (I did at 4 am)

Comment by cooter926

Additionally, Everyone in your group gets credit if they are within range of the turn in, so one person only has to get the eye and return to the base and then everyone in your group that's there gets credit. I picked up the quest literally 10 seconds before my group member returned with the eye and got credit.

Comment by 12719

Took three tries to get buff, then used travel form to avoid the mobs - and lost the buff. This is really a pain.

.. nevermind this...

Comment by Payson

This quest can be a bit of a challenge if you don't time it just right. When you see a patrolling Eye of Grillok in Zeth'Gor, you must use the provided Zezzak Shard on it. This will channel the Eye into you and you'll get a buff saying it is in you, and the Grillok sees what you see. The Eye itself will not attack you, but this is where it gets tricky. When the Eye sees you, it will aggro all mobs within an (estimated) 30 yard radius. On top of the fact that you might get up to at least 5 mobs on you, if you get hit, the channel of the Eye into you is interrupted and the Eye then disappears.

Once you successfully get the Eye channeled into you, you have 5 minutes to run back to Spinebreaker Post. Walk right up to the cauldron that Zezzak is sitting next to. The Eye will leave you and float into the cauldron. This completes the quest, and you just talk to Zezzak.

Must be a bug but i absorbed the eye and returned to the post, the quest giver did NOT have a yellow question mark and was not returnable.

Comment by Kizrak

After completing 'Wanted: Worg Master Kruush' this quest became available (as of 11/9/07)
Prior to completing this quest, Zezzak had no quests for me

or something,

Attention for all those who have the same problem as DuhAlex and me

Must be a bug but i absorbed the eye and returned to the post, the quest giver did NOT have a yellow question mark and was not returnable.

I opened a ticket and the GM asked me whether i used any addons. I use Titan Panel so i said yes,
he suggested that i delete my Interface and WTF map.
Interface is where you have all your addons, so i disabled my addons and tried the quest again and it worked. Dont bother deleting the whole WTF or Interface map.

hope this helps.

Comment by infernoloco

ok heres what i did
it @#$%ed me off the first time cause it aggroed every mob there..
cause the eye saw me lol..
so i see this eye and i right click the shard..
mounted up,dodged some enemies and went back to the quest giver.. talked to him and finished it
word of advice.. dont stay there when you have it.. cause it will keep aggroing mobs for you to fight..
thats if you want to..
and you only got 5 min to turn it in
more than enough time right? :)
well good luck

Comment by Mooney

Once you get The Eye of Grillok buff on you, and you have ran back to Zezzak don't think you haven't finish the quest because you have, just stand next to him - close to the cauldron and wait for the Eye to hit the cauldron. The quest will then complete.

Comment by 146001

Very Easy, took me about 1 1/2 Minutes if that to complet. Walking towards coords i got form above, Saw green ball, Clicked on the Device I got from Q Giver,Drew in Ball, turned green,Mounted and headed back, Got lucky cause ball was outside of village more towards Camp, You get 4 minutes to turn it so dont stop to fight. EASY EASY EASY...

Comment by 155353

I think theres some bug or something here too. Ive been capping 4 eyes without they seen me and nothing happens. Guess I just push "abandon quest".

Comment by 152825

Gives you a cool greenish look when you absorb the eye 8D

Comment by 194739

I've tried to absorb the eye three times. Each time the channelling completes and the eye disappears, but I never glow green and I when I run back to the cauldron, the eye isn't removed from me. I suppose I'll just keep trying, but it's starting to get annoying. Anyone else have this problem?

*update*

After posting this, I logged back in and was successful the first try. I guess the first 3 eyes just didn't like me

I decided to get the eye *before* it entered the fort. Previously I was killing inside the fort and would catch the eye as it came through the gates. Maybe that had something to do with it... dunno

Comment by 203332

Be sure that the eye doesn`t see`s you , and then click on the shard. after that run to camp and quest done :)

Comment by beefbrunstan

also it appears you can't eat or drink when you are 'green'.

Comment by 440306

Must have completed "Wanted: Worg Mater Kruush" for horde (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10809) starts at a wanted poster at Stonebreaker Post in Hellfire Peninsula

Comment by 455949

Very nearly an anagram of the Eye of Kilrogg.

Comment by Grimtongue

I was unable to absorb an eye while in Shadow Form but as soon as I dropped it I was able to complete the quest.

Comment by rov4416444

Turn off retribution aura or you will 1shot the eye while channeling. I imagine this goes for thorns as well. It took me a while to figure out why I couldn't do this, since it despawns when killed.

If it's a busy day and you can't find an eye, go into the barracks near the back, almost no one goes in there, and one patrols around.

Comment by 756647

Note: Alot of people abandon this quest because it's only about 5,500xp, but don't abandon it. After this the follow up quest gives you good gear and is worth about 13,800xp.

Comment by 795542

Just absorb the green eye with shard u earned after accepted quest ... when u get green use ur fly mount and bo back to Zezzak ...stay near him or click on him and ur quest will be completed. That's all

Comment by 808414

Okay I just did this quest, and had about 5 unsuccessful tries before I finally checked here...
Here's what I figured out:
I was able to find one of the eyes near the eastern gate.
Flying made this so much easier, because I landed just inside the gate, since I noticed there are no guards or mobs that go there. If the eye spots you, it will aggro any nearby mobs, so you want to make sure you're not near any.
Also, as someone has already mentioned.. make sure you either dismiss pet or put on passive, it will kill the eye really quickly.
I targeted the eye and clicked the shard BEFORE it spotted me, which I had not been able to do in my prior attempts, and I believe this is why I was successful this time :D

Comment by 998972

As a Death Knight, I wasn't able to absorb the eye in Blood Presence.
I suggest switching to Frost Presence (or Unholy if you are just doing the quest for the Loremaster title) before using the item on it.
That worked for me at least.

Comment by FadedParadox

A friend had some problems with this quest. Turns out it was lightning shield. I highly suspect 90% of the problems mentioned (addons excluded) was because of a buff that caused damage on being attacked. Turn off thorns/lightning shield/ret aura before doing this quest.

Comment by Trecman

You should know that once you turn green you only have a few minutes to turn in the quest or you will have to capture the eye again. Also, if you are using the TomTom Add-on IGNORE IT. It will point to everything except the quest giver and where you need to go in a hurry to accomplish the quest. You need to go back to the quest giver at coordinates 61.65 x 81.82 to turn in the quest. If you are using BoA don't bother with this quest at all. It does lead to another quest that offers nice rare rewards but you won't want to use them. Use your BoA instead! - GL

Note, there seems to be a bug with this quest and the default WoW quest tracker. The location of the quest appears just east of Grillok's cave. I noticed some people seeming to believe that the cauldron involved was the one at this location. After pointing out the quest mentions returning to Zellak, it seems to need to be mentioned that once you absorb the eye, you need to go directly back to your quest giver, and not the cauldron near the village.

Comment by cheriea99

As of patch 5.4.1 you can now hop on your flying mount once you've captured the eye, and fly back to the quest giver in Spinebreaker Post, Zezzak (Hellfire cords: 61.7, 81.8), but make sure you dismount for the cauldron to absorb the eye. In the past I've never been able to hop on my mount w/o losing the absorbed eye so this may be a glitch in the game that is now permitting you to take advantage of it.

Comment by darkrunedk

One of the worst quests in World of Warcraft... Have been stuck at this quest for about an hour, and it just don't do anything at the cauldron. And if that's not enough, people are running over to the cauldron all the time spawning the scarabs, who turn hostile and attacks it's surroundings :-(.

EDIT: Lol, though it was the cauldron at the cave with Grillok "Darkeye", and not the one at the camp. Well, it could have been described better :-P

Comment by RomanPaladin

I tried this quest earlier today and found it to be impossible. Following the advice in the comments (which was not at fault, by the way), I stayed on the extreme end of the range for the quest item. I made sure I had not aggroed anything within at least five seconds before I began absorbing the eye into myself. I was tracking the quest, and it changed from (something like) "absorbed" to "returned," indicating I had yet to return the eye, but had absorbed it.

Within two minutes, I made it back to Zezzak. I tried multiple methods to elicit a reaction from the eye. After standing at the cauldron for five minutes, I gave up and abandoned this unfortunately frustrating quest.

Comment by MrPony

6.0.2: As a druid, I had to un-shapeshift in order to turn this quest in.

Used the item on the NPC, captured it, got the buff, and went to the cauldron at 61, 81 (NOT 62, 71 by the cave). While in cat, bear, or travel(/flight) form, the quest wouldnt complete.

Once I left my forms and went humanoid, it completed immediately.

Make sure if you are a hunter you dismiss your pet or put it on passive before absorbing the eye. Once you try to absorb it your pet will automatically attack and kill the eye.

Comment by WoWGnGP

I made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it :)

Comment by Groovin

1) Having got the quest, go to Grillok's village.
2) Locate one of the Eye NPCs and use the crystal on it.
3) Did you get a 5 minute buff? Good, you did it right.
4) Fly back to the quest-giver (it is the cauldron next to him that you want, not the one outside Grillok's lair).

Comment by Gronzillo

Ignore the blue objective circle on the minimap, there's a cauldron nearby there, but it has nothing to do with this quest. To return the eye, you need to travel back to where you got the quest, a good ways southwest of the blue objective circle.

Comment by NessieMo

Once you've used Zezzak's Shard on an Eye of Grillok you have a buff that lasts for five minutes. Before it expires, return to Zezzak and stand next to his cauldron, which is at Spinebreaker Post at /way 61.67 81.77, and the quest may be completed.

Coordinates for TomTom users:

/way Hellfire Peninsula 61.67 81.77 Zezzak's Cauldron

Comment by 153089

Since absorbing the Eye of Grillok apparently makes him see what you see, I like to spin my character around as fast as I can just to spite him. I hope you like motion sickness, Grillok!

Comment by amymicaela

Since this quest is still bugged, Zezzak is back in Spinebreak Ridge.
That is where you extract the eye.

Comment by Arreouw

I don't know if anybody's still doing this quest or not, but when I did it at the end of 2016, I had to fly back to Spinebreaker Post where Zezzak was sitting to complete this post. He wasn't at the cauldron outside the gates.

Comment by Wowzir

As of this date, the instructions in NessieMo's comment are correct.

Return the captured eye to Zezzak's Cauldron at
/way Hellfire Peninsula 61.6, 81.8 Cauldron

As you approach the cauldron, the eye will leave you and the
quest indicator above Zezzak will change to a yellow "?".

I did NOT need to click on the quest item again to complete the quest.

;)

Comment by Tihov

This one quest very nearly made me give up on ever getting Loremaster of Outland. CRZ makes this quest absolute, pure, condensed cancer. If it's not other players getting the eye a millisecond earlier, then it's some other faction asshat running up and one shotting it.

Comment by amymicaela

Turn the eye in at coordinates 62/82 where the quest giver is.

Comment by WokkaD

Hunters and Warlocks : put your pet / demon onto passive or it will bestroy the eye before it can be absorbed.
The same goes for Mage's anything.
Dismiss (or put on passive) any and all protective companions.
