Volo's Ersatz Eye

Volo's Ersatz Eye is a story item that can be used to grant a permanent See Invisibility buff.

A hollow bead of white glass, carefully painted to resemble a realistic eye. Its tarnished brass fittings hum with a tinge of magic.

Properties

• Miscellaneous Items
• Rarity: Story Item
•  Weight: 0.2 kg / 0.4 lb
• Price: 1 gp

Effect

• Grants a permanent See Invisibility buff. Like the spell, this buff allows you to see creatures that are Invisible within 9 meters if they fail a Dexterity saving throw.

Where to find

• Once Volo has been rescued (see the quest Rescue Volo), you may tell him to find you in camp.
• In camp, Volo can attempt to remove the player's tadpole via an experimental operation.
  • 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 buff.

Notes and Trivia

• 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.
• In Early Access, the ersatz eye provided +1 to  Charisma and -1 to  Intelligence.
