On quest completion, Glorin says this:

Glorin Steelbrow says: The Eye of Paleth was retrieved and cleansed a long time ago, mage. We thought the curse lifted.
Glorin Steelbrow says: Not a year ago, poor old Fitzsimmons passed on, his body ruined by drink.
Glorin Steelbrow says: Ever since, now and then, people claim he's spoken to them and told them to get the eye...
Glorin Steelbrow says: Cursed to roam the earth forever...not even poor Fitzsimmons could escape.
Glorin Steelbrow says: Don't ask me what you actually brought me, mage. You're better off forgetting this ever happened.

I LOVED this quest! It was a real nostalgia piece, and then you get to the end of it, and you find out that it was just the ghost of Fitzsimmons that sent you!

A real, "WHO WAS PHONE?" moment!

Comment by Spring

Don't ask me what you actually brought me, class. You're better off forgetting this ever happened.

This line right here has so far made this one of the eeriest new quests. I dig it.

Man, this was one huge nostalgia trip. I remember doing this quest 3 times over on 3 different toons. I felt terrible when Steelbrow told me what happened. This was greatly designed by Blizz, good job.

Comment by Vothul

Honestly. I found this creepy. Thought it was same ole, same ole quest.

Then they pull the rug from right under you.

Well done, Blizz.

Available to all, not just dorfs.

Also, when you complete the quest chain, Fitzsimmons phases out and you can no longer see him, which makes the Priest's story true.

As far away as I put it from me, I can't go without it in the end.

Looks like he went because of it in the end...

It looks as if the eye will remain there forever no matter how many times they try and get rid of it. that or you travel back in time and retrieve it again. Still kinda confused.

loved the quest.

Comment by rottenzombie

Now I think of it, the item description on that cask of ale in the first quest gave away a clue.

Very neat, Blizzard.

Comment by 54740

Knowing Blizzard, I'm fairly sure we brought him some sort of round, dark fossilized turd. They love poop quests in California.

Comment by vincr

Is there a way to finish the quest if i deleted, like an idiot, the eye?

Comment by 775796

Pretty eerie end, but sad that it doesn't actually have a conclusion. There's more to the story to flesh out, and I'd rather not wait another 3 expansions to see it happen.

Just struck me as abrupt, especially since just before this, I had done Theramore on another toon, which teases some epic quest with Varian, and then ends randomly.

Comment by dkfreak1

This quest creeped me out in the end o.0

Comment by 597974

If you wanted to keep the item do use, DO NOT hand the quest in. I made this mistake.

Comment by raistlyn

Definitely gave me chills. Because Fitzsimmons looked real when I was speaking to him and giving him ale (somehow?), I ran outside to find him, as if to say, no way, he's right here! And then he wasn't. Very creepy. Well done.

Comment by Foefirelord

This is officially the best edited vanilla WoW quest chain in Cataclysm.

It completely blew my mind when I turned this final quest in.

Truly worthy of being a creepypasta story.'

WARNING: Don't vender your "junk" items (junk in this sense extending to green quality items you don't plan to use)
Because you can actually mess up the quest by vendering the Cursed Eye of Paleth like I did, thankfully I was able to buy it back.

Comment by Celano

If you delete or weirdly enough, sell this quest item, you can abandon quest. And loot it again. And sell it again. Lather, rinse, repeat. While it's only worth a peasly 29s, does this still seem potentially problematic to anyone else?

Comment by WoWGnGP

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

WHAT DID WE BRING THE DWARF BLIZZARD PLEASE TELL ME!
Aight, my curiosity won't let me sleep tonight.

Comment by Siscokid

After turning in the quest, I decided to try and find Fitzsimmons on my dwarf hunter. I first checked the cellar, with both Track Undead and Flare (though I always keep Track Hidden on), yet nothing showed up. I then went outside, near where he was, but that also provided no results. Finally, I went back to the ships to see if he moved there, but after talking to First Mate Snellig I had discovered nothing...

I'll pour one out for ya, Fitzsimmons, once I get back to Menethril Harbor.

Comment by Anzel

If you have AllTheThings as well and have this quest popping up as completed, but missing one of the rewards...yeah, there's nothing you can do to get the item. I may try and contact Blizzard about it at some point, I just wanted to let people know that it's not just them.

My alternative is play through the quest on an alt, but it's just a bit frustrating to have to do it all again.

The Eye of Paleth

Description

Opening the chest reveals a blackened orb, pulsing with an eerie light. This must be the foul Eye of Paleth that damned these sailors' souls.

Such corruption should be purged. Perhaps a priest in Menethil Harbor could help you.
