* Can be pickpocketed from [[Volo]] in the [[Druid Grove]] (during first visit only).
 
* Can also be pickpocketed from him later in the [[Goblin Camp]], before resolving the Druid Grove/Goblin Camp conflict.
A hollow bead of white glass, carefully painted to resemble a realistic eye. Its tarnished brass fittings hum with a tinge of magic.
* If Volo is alive during the celebration (after resolving the conflict), he can attempt to remove the player's tadpole via an experimental operation.
| where to find = * As an item, the eye can be looted from Volo's corpse. However in order to gain [[See Invisibility (Condition)|See Invisibility]] buff, the player must undergo the surgery.
** Needless to say - because Volo is a bumbling fool - this operation is unsuccessful and leaves the player character permanently blind in one eye and debuffed (-1 to [[Intelligence]], {{Disadvantage}} on [[Perception]] checks, and cannot make [[Critical Hit]]s).
** Volo gives you the ersatz eye (if not already pickpocketed from him), which will negate all the downsides of this debuff except the Intelligence reduction.

* While the ersatz eye is embedded in your eye socket, you can see through the tiny orb as though it were a normal eye. Can't be removed once inserted.
| notes = * To obtain [[Volo's Ersatz Eye (passive feature)]] the player must undergo surgery with Volo:
* When used, the eye has the following '''Permanent''' effects:
** Once [[Volo]] has been rescued (see the quest [[Rescue Volo]]), you may tell him to find you in camp.
** [[Charisma]] +1
** In camp, Volo can attempt to remove the player's tadpole via an experimental operation.
** [[Intelligence]] -1
** Needless to say - because Volo is a bumbling fool - this operation is unsuccessful and leaves the player character permanently blind in one eye. However, he gives you the ersatz eye, which negates the blindness and grants a permanent [[See Invisibility (Condition)|See Invisibility]] buff.
** ''(Note: The eye will remain in your inventory after being used.)''
* Unlike other companions, Wyll cannot undergo Volo's procedure.
* In Early Access, the ersatz eye could be pickpocketed from Volo. In the full release of the game, the player must go through with his surgery in order to obtain the eye or kill him.
* In Early Access, the ersatz eye provided +1 to {{Ability|Charisma}} and -1 to {{Ability|Intelligence}}.
